If Cuba did not afford an opening for
positions for favorites and opportunity
of getting rich to Spanish favorites,
Spain would accede to our demands. In
the war that ended in 1878, Spain sent
10000 soldiers and her most favored
commanders to defeat the Cubans. The
present war has been costly in men and
money. Now is a good time for Spain
to retire before it is forced to get out.
Cuba will be free.
