People have not yet forgot Ion Llie that have been Commil fed by the spaniards in their endeavours to Reco Naier Cuba and it is scarcely Likely in View of the. Protects which worn made at the time of the Virginius affair and of other outrages that either Europe or America will stand quietly by to witness a people massacred the Tolo reason for is their and endeavours to free themselves from a Gall ing and Semi barbarians Yoke for Spain s government of Trio Island of Tho car Riyoan sea has never been anything save of Tho most despotic and exacting character. Cuba has been fighting bravely for a num Ber of years Lor her Independence and Spain has spent her millions of treasure and of blood to prevent her obtain ing it and All the time both countries have been suffering very greatly by reason of the exaction to which they have been subjected. Every one knows what Lias been Tho result in Spain discontented at Home and ill at ease in her colonies she has lost All her prestige whether commercial or Mili tary hop people Are enormously taxed and indeed pen nearly she is far worse off than Ever she was. Such castilian blood has trickled blown the slopes of the cuban Hills Many a Brave ski Aipuu a has succumbed to the Miasmatic influences of the swampy Dis and in this Way in addition to the live lost during tie Don car los Trio of the youth of Spain have been depleted. In Cuba there have been similar pecuniary and similar reductions in the native Urile population of Tho Island. Commercially the War Lias sadly Ilo tie Island. The crop sugar the chief Staple product has been during the few years immensely reduced part j by because the planter was Uncertain whether to would be Able his product the possibility being always present with him that the War might to in his own District and partly because the tremendous imposts placed upon Tho article made it unprofitable for him to produce it. What the reduction in the sugar Industry has Boon will be appreciated when it h stated that the sugar crop of last year was thirty per cent less than that of is70. This is a most unsatisfactory exhibit my Tho question a Hon will it end Tho cubans Are still determined while the spaniards Are stubborn in their belief that they can overpower Tho native islanders and meantime Tho a on in a manner unsatisfactory to am indecisive for both parties and unless there is interference peace will Only body dared when one is completely tired out.
