bano Libre, a newspaper printed by the
insurgents in the field, publishes cor
respondence between General Blanco and
General Gomez. which throws different
light on the attitude of Gomez from chat
produced by the reports circulated in Ha-
vana.

you, not doubling that for the momtnt
your clear intelligence and noble ssntl-
ments--which in loyal enemy | fully
recognize-you will receive my letter ia
yorably. 1t cannot but be apparent TO
you that the Cuban problem has been rad
ically changed, Spaniards and Cubans find
themselves opposed TO foreigners OF a off
ferent race, of naturally absorbent ten
denotes, and whose intentions are not only
10 deprive the Spanish people of their
right to Cuban soil, but to extelminata
the Cuban people on account of their
Spanish blood,
Their blockade of the ports OF this
island has no other object.
ut not only hurts the Spaniards but
also the Cubans, completing the work of
determination commenced in the civil
war
The supreme moment has therefore ar
rived from which we ought TO forget
our differences and unite, Spaniard and
Cuban, for our own defense and to repal
the invader
Spain will not forget the noble aid OF
her Cuban sons and once the Invader has
been driven from the island, she will. as
a tender mother, open again her arms to
her daughter, who speaks her language,
processes her religion and feels running in
her veins the ancient blood of Spain.
General, Tor these reasons | PROPOSE

Clara. The Cubaps will receive arms from
the Spanish army aud. with The cry viva

the sea and free from foreign yoke the de-
scendants of Mother Spain, Su aftino SER
