Narsico, has issued proclamation to the
Cuban army, advising against disbanding
L until the proceedings at Washington re-
garding the pay of the insurgent troops

%, and is in part as follows:
The moment has arrived to give pub
lie explanation of my conduct and my
purposes, which ure always in accord win
my sense ow dut.s to the country / serve
The. Americans. tacitly our allies, have
terminated the war with Spain and signed
treaty of peace. I believed il was my
duty not to move, for any political or
other object, from the spot from where
had drawn my sword. so long as the
enemies OF the army had not completely
evacuated the island my presence else
where would have disturbed the reDose
and calmnSS necessary TO conSumlnate
peace, nor ought L to lave caused the Gu
bans trouble by unnecessary manifesto
lions during the jubilee.
The period of transition is terminated;
the army of the enemy is abandoning the
country; the sovereignty of the great
United States is beginning as stipulated
IL the protocol, over all the island. But
Cuba IS not yet free or independent. Sell
government Is not vet constituted For
that reason We must dedicate ourselves
10 bringing about the disappearance of the
cause Tor American intervention
'
spirit Of justice to the Cuban army il Is
necessary that before the liberators' of the
people can dissolve as a guarantee of
order. that the debt which the country
owes to its soldiers should be satisfied.
Awaiting this result, / remain in my DO
sition, always ready 10 help the work to
Which L have dedicated my life
