difficulty Spain suppressed this revolt, and
punished in various ways ,346 of those con-
victed of participating in it, but the seed OF
liberty then planted resulted in later years
ia the patriots who fought the long ten
years war, and again those who led to ulti.
mate victory the forces Of Cuba in the last
war.
The next Cuban revolution, started year
later, was led by an ex-officer in the Span
sh army, Narciso Lopez. He was unsue-
cessful at the time, but his efforts led final
ly to the attempt of this government to
purchase Cuba from Spain in lS4S. The
overtures made to the Spanish government
by President Polk were OF no avail, however,
and Lopez continued his efforts at liberia
tion until he was finally captured by the
Spanish authorities on Cuban soil and exc
cuted in 1851.
In 1854 came both the attempt OF Gen.
Quitman, OF Mississippi, for the invasion Of
Cuba, which resulted dsasterously to the
leaders, they being captured and executed,
and the Ostend Manifesto which recon-
mended the purchase of Cuba for Sl20,000,-
600. But this, like the previous attempt at
purchase, came to naught, and the island
was left to drag along in comparative peace
until the breaking out of the "ten years
war in 1868.
1t was this long struggle that brought to
the fore such men as Gomez, Garcia, Palma
and many others destined to live in the his
tory of the new republic as the names of
Washington, Lee, Putnam and score OF
others live in our own history. They are the
grandest names Cubans will ever know
true patriots. who yet live to guide the young
republic through its first troubled waters
with the same courageous hands that taught
the Cuban soldiers to match Cuban strategy
and daring against the heavier forces OF
Spain. To this list must be added that Of
Maeeo and the others who sacrificed their
lives in the last strsegle for Cuban freedom,
but demanded OF Spain dear price for the
sacrifice.
The story of the "ten years war" is a
story of ten years of hardships and sacrifice.
1t brought with it the first declaration Of
Cuban independence, signed on October 10,
1865 and also the first election OF Cuban
officers including president and vice presi-
dent and the appointment of cabinet Of
fcers.
1t was Carlos NJ de Cespedes, at the head
of l2S alarmed men, who started this CON
fict, and who issued the proclamation of
Cuban independence at Yara. Cespedes was
lawyer of Bayamo at the beginning of the
war, but he was natural leader of men,
and soon had $4,000 men with which to OPP
pose Spain. 1t was he who virtually wrote
the first Cuban constitution which was
promulgated at Guaimaro on April 10, 1869.
For the first two years of the war success
attended almost every effort of the Cuban

the insurgents, and the rank and file OF ts
Cuban army began finally to tire of the
struggle. From 1873 until February, 1878, the
war dragged along in desutory way, and
finally ended with the peace of San Antonio
which guaranteed pardon to all who lal
taken part in the conflict, and represeI Ia
tion for Cuba in the Spanish cortes.
1t was during this war, in 1873, that there
occurred the incident of the steamer Vir,

between Spain and the United States, and
which did result in some pointed CORE

summer of 1898, when, with the assistance
of the United States, the patriots banished
their oppressors from the island forever.
Almost from the day of the Spanisrds'
first landing in Cuba until the signing of the
peace protocol that put stop to the war
OF 1898 the Dons had found it necessary to
meet opposition to their reign by the use
of armed force. This opposition was not at
all times of sufficient vigor to be dignified
by the name of revolution, but it was con-
slant. For many years it was more of a
sea fight than a land fight and was carried
on by the buccaneers whose object was to
drive Spain from the western seas, not be-
cause they were friendly to the native
Cubans, but from motives of revenge against
the mother country, and as allies of other
European nations at war with Spain. Nor
were their operations directed against the
Spaniards in Cuba alone, but in every part
of the western world where the Spanish flag
foated
1t was not until late in the eighteenth and
early IN the nineteenth centuries that the
people of Cuba began to think seriously of
freedom, or rather of righting existing
wrongs, and forcing from the mother coun-
try more liberal form of government.
England's colonies had thrown off the yoke
OF oppression, and the seed of freedom that
had sprouted on the mainland had been car
ried to the island. A grievance that brought
with it armed resistance came in 1896 when
SPAN withdrew the ship building yards

from Havana to reestahlsh them at her
home ports. The industry had existed in
the island from 1726, and the closing of them
was bitterly resented. But Cuba at that
time demanded only her rights as loyal
colony, and not the absolute freedom Tor
which she has since fought.
During her earlier history the develop
ment of Cuba's great agricultural resources
progressed but slowly. Her ports were
closed TO the commerce of all the world save
Spain, and it was not until after circum-
stances which Spain had opposed for years
but which finally overcame her, that the
Cuban planters began to really realize the
narrowness OF Spanish rule. The change
that began to be apparent in the colonial
policies of other European nations early in
the last century was not shared by Spain,
who but attempted to draw the lines
tighter.
This fact is evidenced by the issuance Of
the royal decree of May %, 1925, defining the
functions OF the captain generals of Cuba,
decree which invested them with prac-
tically the powers of oriental despots, and
this decree remained in force until Spain
had been driven from the island.
Even before the issuing of this decree
had come the first attempt to break the rule
Of Spain. Secret political societies had he.
gun organizing as early as 1920 under the
name Of "Soles de Bolivar" and in 1892
these societies made an attempt at open re-
volt. But the attempt was fruitless Of re-
suits other than the arrest and punishment
of the leaders.
The next revolution came in 1926, and was
