as follows:

ton which owes to Spain, to the generous
Spain, the soil on which they tread. dis
covered by our navigators, and that use
the sea opened to their vessels by Column
bus, Balbas and Gaetano-that sea, which,
If 1t We're spiteful, would open its bottom
to bury them in it-in enterprises worthy
only of pirates ana highwaymen, have
commenced to lombard Porto Rico, and
have repeated their attacks on Carde-
mas and Cienfuegos without previous In
tmatlon or notification of any kind against
the established international custom and
against all rights concerning open cities
and places not fortified
"Such an unheard of disregard of written
laws, such violations of treaties and the
decisions of the international Congress Of
Aix-la-Chapelle, of November, 1918, makes
of those men a brood of tigers. placing
them out of the humanity which they dis
honor.
Miserable wretches, descendants of the
regicides of Charles l, and of the fanatics
that impelled the arm of the fierce magls-
trate letters to legal execution en- masse
for the simple accusation of carelessness
in the protestant worship-descendants
who owe their nationality to a monstrous
rebellion against their motherland from
which they flew to attain an undeserved
civil liberty, so as to avert punishment for
their great crimes.
''They reached prosperity and richness
by turning the American land, profaned
by them. into a cemetery of Indians, be-
headed by thousands, after having been de-
spoiled of their properties. The Yankees
have been working anxiousy for about a
hundred years TO hide their origin and
make us forget what they We're when on

go many were their protests OF love to-
ward the feeble and regard for justice
that we almost believed with Laboulaye
that they were men of a superior race that
had come 10 the world to illustrate and re-
deem 1t.
Nov we see that those men of SUI
perior race, those lovers of liberty, those
philanthroplsts, are a crowd OF cowardly
murderers. All masks have fallen off their
faces, and they appear just they are, just
as they always have been--a gang Of
bloody highwaymen, ungrateful and rebel
sons of their motherland, who patronize all
ingratitudes and fllal rebellions. They
were denunciators of innocents in the
Cromwellian revolution, and now falsely
accuse Spain. AS they robbed Mexico to
widen their dominlons, they now wish 10
rob Cuba TO enlarge their riches, and In
the same manner that they exterminated
the aboriginal races of notwithstanding 10
their help all the indicators Of the world
Offering them the rights of cltizens--they
wish now TO extermlnate the Spaniards, and
to be the only owners of this continent.
Let us take them as they are and let
us give justice to those assassins. Let Gu
ba he the avenging ak under which they
eXpiate the past crimes and their present
infamies. Let u.s. for humanity, extirpate
this leprosy of America. Let us have no
pity. Let us give them no rest. Let US not
honor them with our mercy"
