more unanimously sacrificed so much
for such "A cause. Men i'm their posi-

American colonists had nothing To fear
for the lives of their families and few
possessed wealth. But the leaders of

feelings toward Spain in favor of re-
p~ublicanism. Besides, many of the

Foremost among these exiles as well
as among the leaders of the present
revolution is r. Estrada Palma. now
foreign representative of the Cuban re-
public and also delegate Of the Cuban
revolutionary party. Mr.. Palma was
one of the wealthiest land owners i'm

ing charged with violation OF the Unit
ed States neutrality laws.
Probably none of the patriots has
given up more of the pleasures of So
ciaI life for his country than Gen. Bar
tolme Maso. who is now president Of
the Cuban republic. He was the last
To lay down his arms in 1878. He was
imprisoned for months without trial
and finally allowed to return to his
states. Having been "A man of wealth
and position before the nrst war, he
toiled until he brought his planta-
tions once more to the point when they
returned "a large revenue. When the
call To arms swept over the island i'm
1895 General Maso turned over his
plantation as an example to other pa
triots and took the field.
The nature of the present revolution
may be judged from the men who in
augurated il and who carry IL on.
First among Cuban liberators stands
Jose Marti. His father was "A Spanish
officer i'm the Spanish army who had
learned to sympathize with the people
of Cuba. Upon Jose's birth he threw
up his commission. saying that no son
of his should be brought up by "A serv-
ant of Spain. 1t is not surprising that
with sue "a parent Jose Marti. at the
age Of "a. was attacking the Spanish
government i'm an amateur newspaper
he had established. The little paper

which have been disbursed in carrying
on the war I'm Cuba and i'm arousing
sympathy abroad. His integrity N
financial ability have yusrined Martfs
selection of him.
The list Of the delegation of foreign
representatives end with a name that
coming generations of ubans will hold
i'm aff%ectionate remembrance, th1t OF
Horatio s. Rubens. MIR. b Is a
young American lawyer who was fired
with a desire to help a people strug-
CLING to be free. He becam the init
mate friend of Marti and Quesada. and
he volunteered to accompany Gomez
to Cuba. At Marti's request he re-
manned instead i'm this country, i'm the
capacity of legal advisor to the party.
AS Mr.. Rubens shook Marti's hand
for the ast time he solemnly prom
ised that he would henceforth devote
himself to the Cuban cause. How well
that promise has been kept may be
judged from the fact that he was
obliged to give up his private practice.
Practically all the filibusterIng and
seizure cases growing out of the war
have Deen defended by Mr.. Rubens. He
has become an authority on interna-
tional law and his success in guiding
the course of the delegation prove his
natural shrewdness.
The sacrifice that these men are
making that Cuba may be free is diff
cult to appreciate. No member of the
''junta" and no officer of the civil or
military government is receiving or
has ever received compensation for his
services, and most of the patriots have
been struggling in poverty without

fortune, one of the largest i'm Cuba,
and took uD arms. Senior Betancourt

citizen of the Cuban republic.
The one general in the Cuban army
who was not born in the West Indies
is Gen. Carlos Rola. Genera Rola, a
Pole by birth. did not come to Cuba
as AN adventurer, however. He had
settled in Cuba some years previous to
the first rising. During our civil war
he held the rank of major'in the con-
federate army. He is said to have been
one of the most daring filibusters

of war from 1895 to 1897.
When the attempt at revolution In
Porto Rico was put dow in 1868, Ruis
Rivera, the son of a wealthy Porto
Rican, Joined the Cuban rebels. He did
not dare to return to Porto Rico i'm
rs, so he went to Honduras and pur-
chased some plantations. He aban-
doned all his possessions when Marti
called upon him. Genera Rivera is

was released at the instance of the
United States consul.
Nearly all of the men of the last two
generations of the Carillio family have
died fighting for Cuba. 1t is a typical,
not an exceptional case.
Alexandra Rodriguez. a Cuban repre-
senting a line of Spanish mobiles, is n
of the younger leaders. He took the
field i'm Havana province and has sus-
tanned himself there with consummate
skill in spite of the efforts made to
dislodge him.
The dead leader, Antonio Maceo. was
the only one of the CUBAN generals
who had negro blood i'm his veins. He
was a mulatto, and his race may be
proud of him. He excelled all Cuban
soldiers in daring and dash. He was
well educated and quite a scholar.
There were II Maceo brothers: only
one is living. The others nave died IN
the struggle for liberty.
After laying down his arms in 1873.
General Maceo went to Costa Rica
and became the head of a colony of
Cuban refugees there. He started at
once to join MART upon learning tina

ton i'm Pinar del Rio for over a year

Marti conceived the plan of organic

which he became the head. His efforts
have eliminated in the present sue

acclaimed the Father of Cuban indie

Besides Mr.. Palma and General
Nuez, the Cuban delegation consists of
five men.
The sub-delegate abroad Is DIR. j. ID.

The fighting Cubans are a fine body
of men. They have not been selected
exclusively from the representatives of
the leading Cuban families, as Is the
