Il uptown ~ points OF retreat where even the
"uxtrys" did not reach The intelligence was wei
coined everywhere not because the war has rot all
along been a popular one. but because the country
knew that its objects had been practically accom-
plished

pressed At the successful termination OF the ne2ou-
aiions that had been carried on by the state De-

Nil be no longer needed but the mon who have
haen lighting FOR liberty and their families. who
have followed them into tho field need food and
clothing

not in any way intend to embar.ass the United

establish 1 military government AT hrst and then
will carry on, It's pledge and turn the Island free
and independent 10 the people 70 govern.
The leading men % the Republic have implicit
confidence IL the declarations OF the United states
that tho war was not for the purpose OF acquiring
Cuba. Perhaps in years ~ come. after the Cubans
have thoroughly organized their government. they
may that It would oe advantage to he am
noxcd 10 the United states. but At present that
question is too remote to hc discussed
