dared to take such energetic action.
Everybody knows that the Institute De Vo,un-
teers in Cuba is the representative body Of Spanish
ideas aspiration and policy. They are all natives
OF Spain and have remained IN their American
colony more Spanish still than the Spanards at
home. They do not admit that II might he possible
suppose that Cuba should not remain forever
n Spanish possession. The Volunteers were the
cherished children Of the terrible Weyler whom
they cherished in return and they are dssa isfed
with General Blanco and with all the plans OF
tonomy which he tries to pat IN practice r. in the
last ten years instruction the Volunteers caused
the death OF the Havana students and many other
civilians who executed somewhat after the
rough method adopted in Paris during the famous
