He seems to be Of the same opinion

The uprising in Cuba said the

the Cubans get hard up they are bound
to fight. Both sides are afraid of each
other and would rather run than en-
gage in pitched battle. They will
continue this mode of warfare until
Uncle Sam takes Il hand, and they will
do it after thar.
You mark my word. if this trouble
is not settled at once the insurgents
will continue their work Of pillaging
and burning plantations, buildings and
villages.
THE Cubans will fight and there Will
be Il rebellion every time there is a to
