people always appeal to the iaW ano

they have participated haVe been 10
overthrow Spanish reigns Of terror,
almost equal in bscbarisy to that Of
the Dake Of Alva IN the Netherlands.
The brief experience they had in
self. government prior to the insur-
rection, YVES entirely in their favor.
They established government NO

pe:s you'd hsve done credit to any rs

Of ths p1eseat administration, wrote

knowledge Of dsDs.e al6 par!lameo-
tscg iaW lEsg would compare fs7Oraoly
with the Japanese pariisneat. The
executive portion Of the government
was maCe Up of s miaisgry Of bright
