island OF Cuba. who are fighting with
desperation and unparalleled valor In
defense of their ives and their liberties.

slaughter OF thousands of defenseless
men, women and children in the island

ness, but nevertheless the

Havana and the murder of its crew or
brave American seamen should be
atoned for"
