force of my soul the cruel act Of villany perpe-
trated on tho defenceless and chivalrous Lieut.

Cubans, and who say they aim at the independ-
ence, not the liberty, of Cuba. The moment HI >
arrived when the immense majority Of the
Cuban people under the new legal rule, which
Is the rule of liberty and law. protests ono
man against the acts Of devastation and cruelty,
which are an opprobrium to civilization. q scan
dal to tho laws of society, and denial Of all
respect to human feeling. The passiveness

after the triumph Of the autonomist ideals to
meet reparation with justice. The generous
blood Of Lieut..Col. Ruiz. inundated In the
cause of conciliation and love. will hasten the

Aranguren. The Captain. General of the island

Col. Ruiz to bribe the insurgent leader. was
operating with my detachment at Sagua. having
under my orders Lieut.. Peha. I was then
Colonel. One morning o farmer named Juan
Betarte called at my camp and asked permission
to introduce friend. thought it was Cuban
friend and agreed.
"Next day no brought. to my great surprise,
no less a person than Col. Aguilera of the Span
ish army. When learned who he was warned
him not to utter a word proposing any diehonor
to my hag or would shoot him. He retired in
my camp two Spanish soldiers. who confessed
that in case Aguilera should fail TO bribe me
with 10000 they were to enter my lines and
xiii me. Both were hanged by Pcie and ep-
proved his conduct. Had Col. ARuiera said a
word about his mission would have done the
same as Aranguren did with Ruiz recall this
matter now as an illustration of Gen. Blancos
policy of bribing or numbering the Cubans."
