also encouraged by the belief that the
Americans are preparing for an interval

This period Is cure to be followed by
much suffering.
The plantations that were under cul.

this year and the Americans are obliged
to feed thousands just as they fed the
Cubans.
Thousands of friendly natives con-

We're captured, but the latter will soon
