mere Capote. viee-presldent. and Senor
Fonte. Senior Armenian and senor Mar
emo Del Tore. secretaries met at San
ia cruz on Sept l. and formulated a
manifesto to the Cuban people. with
an order to the military commanders
of the Cuban army, both of which have
been promulgated.
The manifesto. which is an elabor-
ate documents. touches on the history
OF the movement for Cuban lndepend
ence and the principles upon the Gu
ban people have fought for their lib
erty. 1t proceeds in part as follows:
When, after a long struggle. the Uni
tied States congress recognized the right
of the people Of Cuba to be free and in
lpendent and ordered the Spanish forces
to withdraw from the island, no Gu
ban government was recognized: but
the one we had constituted, though
not recognized. was not opposed and
has not been opposed. No steps have
been taken to dislodge 1t from th'
place where it exercised it's functions
nor has 1t been considered an illegiti
mate authority which events have dis
solved or destroyed for the good Of tn
people of cuba.
The intention OF the United state
was that, as soon as the obstacle
Spanish rule had been removed. tn
whole Cuban people should choose
government that would shape the des
tnles of the Island.
We have. therefore, decided 70 ca
together another assembly which woul
determine our future course.
