to give themselves up to strangers
rather than to accept the holy idea of
Cuban liberty. We reject annexation
because it is against our feelings. 1t is
impossible for us to live in a strange
atmosphere or under domination, even
although American. 1t is impossible
TO deal with a strange race and
strange language, customs and ideas.
I'VE have battled for 80 years for lib
erty. Blood has been shed in rivers
to preserve our individuality. None
now shall take it from US. To do it is
necessary to cut down woods to stop
the course of rivers, to repOpulate the
entire country. Nothing can do it ex-
cept determination of the spirit ami
mating.
There is no room here for any save
our own people, no history, nor ira
ditiOnS save our own. Annexation as a
realization would kill our people, our
history, our tradition. We do not think
the United States capable of accom-
plishing annexation, but if so it would
be only their part. Reference to the
history of Florida, Texas md Louisiana
proves this. The United States are in
capable of forcing annexation The ac-
QUESTION of new territory has never
been their policy, but even if this new
policy is inaugurated they would find
Cuba irreconcilable. 1t is impossible
to amalgamate US. The Uzllot box may
be bought, but true Cubdns will repel
with strength the idea of annexation"

Spanish Soldiers Now Make Way

EMBARKING FOR SPAIN
RIGHT TO TAKE THEIR GUNS
Is DISPUTED.
Americans Occupying the Territory
Relinquished By the Spaniards-
Volunteers Have All Disbanded-
Bitter Opposition to Cuban An
nexation-Protocol Violated.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. 20 (de-
layed in transmission).-The repatria-
tion of the Spanish soldiers began to-
day. Four hundred, of whom 200 were
sick and 200 belonged to the engineer
corps sailed for Spain on board the
French steamer Chateau Lafitte. One
thousand infantry belonging to the
Asturian battalion will sail tomorrow
on board the steamer San Francisco.
The water front was crowded with
thousands of people when the Spanish
engineers marched down to the music
of the Spanish quickstep to the wharf,
where they were received by Captain
General Nacias and General Ortega.
The captain general did not make a
speech, but he shook hands with the
officers and men. There was no dem
onstration by the people. Some Span
ish field pieces are already on board
the San Francisco, but a question has
arisen in the commission cCnce ming the
disposition of some of the guns, and it
was not settled when this dispatch was
filed.
The captain general today gave no.
tice to the Spanish troops to retire
from Abonito, Paranquitas and Bar
tOS Oh sunday anu from 1undCdO,
Guamani and Cayey on Monday. Our
troops will move up and occupy these
towns as soon as they are evacuated
and the Spanish troops in position will
enter the city in order to be ready TO
embark on the arrival of the trans
ports here.
The residents of Porto Rico and some
of the Americans here are alarmed be-
cause the Spanish ships returning from
Cuba stop at this port. They believe
this is dangerous, as it may introduce
yellow fever, as some of the sick men
on the City of Cadiz were too i'll to
proceed and were brought ashore. ON
commissioners will protest if there is a
repetition of this.
The volunteers have all been dis
banded, and the Spanish soldiers are
engaged in dismantling the armament
of the barracks and boxing the guns
and ammunition. They are rejoicing
over the prospect of an early return to
their homes.
Rear Admiral Schley has refused to
purchase the coal stored here, and it
may be purchased for the use of the
United States army.

stopped until you arrived there

convalescent soldiers from the hospitals

Washington, in the absence of antici-
patton of the receipt of any more yell
low fever cases. General Wheeler de-
cided to send one of the camp surgeons
to inspect the Seguranca and to ar
range for the removal of the sick to the
detention hospital, which will lgave to

and her appearance in the harbor was
a surprise, and still greater was the
surprise when the Mexico steamed in
a few hours later with more sick from
Siboney and Santiago.
When the Vigilance reached here a
couple of weeks ago, she reported that
she brought the last of the sick from
