Farewell of the Soldiers.

Private of Infantry
 Farewell of the Soldiers. Also the following letter ad- dressed to the soldiers of the American army.
 Soldiers of the American army We would not be fulfilling our duty as well-born men, in whose breasts there lives gratitude and courtesy, should we embark for our beloved Spain without send ing to you our most cordial and sincere good wishes and farewell. We fought you with ardor, with all our strength, endeavoring toI gain the victory, but without the slightest rancor or hate toward the American nation. We have been vanquished by you (so our generals and chiefs judged in signing the capltulation), but cur surrender, and the bloody battles preceding it, have left in our souls no place for resentment against the men who fought us nobly and valiantly. You fought and acted in compliance with the same call of duty as we, for we all but represent the power of our respective states You fought us as men, face to face, and with great courage, as before stated, a quality which we had not met during the three years we have carried on this war against peo pie without morals, without con science and of doubtful origin, who could not confront the enemy, but, hidden, shot their noble victims from ambush and then immediately fled.
 This was the kind of warfare we had to sustain in this unfor- tunate land. You have complied exactly with all the laws of war as 1 recognized by the armies of the most civilized nations of the world; have given honorable burial to the dead of the van quished; have cured their woun- ded with great humanity; have respected and cared for your prisoners and their comfort, and lastly, to us, whose conditions were terrible. you have given freely of food, of your stock of medicines, and you have honored Jus with distinguished courtesy, fer after the fighting the two armies mingled with the utmost harmony. With th.s high senti- ment of appreciation from us all, there remains but to express our farewell, and with the greatest sincerity we wish you all happi- ness and health in this land which will no longer belong to our dear Spain, but will be yours, who have conquered it by force and watered it with your blood, as your conscience called for, under the demand of civilization and humanity; but the descendants of the Congo and Guinea, mingled with the blood of unscruplous Spaniards and of traitors and ad-
 venturers, these people are not able to exerclse or enjoy their liberty, for they will find 1t a burden to comply with the laws which gov ern civilized communities.
 From II, ,000 Spanish soldiers.
