gagged in a campaign durng the pre-
vious war in Cuba. Continuing. he ex-
planned that he was coming to pacify

he was strongly desirous of peace his
system Of making war was TO be rigor-
Gus toward the rebels who refuse to ac-
cept the clemency which Spain and
himself offered them. The general
added
Notwithstanding the examples in
rigor set by other colonial nations, / at
tend to the reconstruction of the wealth
of this island. This was the purpose
which inspired my last decrees, and l
propose to continue this policy, though
/ have been compelled in some instances
to countenance destruction owing TO
the fact that circumstances have made
It necessary in some cases to destroy
the resources of the rebels"
The captain general then referred to
the sincerity OF the Spanish govern
ment In its desire to Introduce reforms
In Cuba, concluding with the remark:
Il come to bring peace or war. IL
the former is accepted. we win then re-
turn to the law but. If the latter is de-
sired, behind me come 40 battalions OF
