Excerpt from Cuba Under Spanish Rule
The Queen of the Antilles it appears is about to free herself from Spain, either by means of an arrangement between the United States and the Spanish Government, or by the insurrection, which, unaided, in the end, will bring about the same result. The separation from the mother country is now a fact inevitable. It would not be uninteresting to examine the causes which have brought about the breaking up of former relations. But this will be easier of comprehension when one looks to the administration of affairs, to the judicial and taxation regime. He will then see how legitimate and just are the causes which have impelled the Cubaus to raise aloft the standard of revolt. This work was written before the late events which have taken place; its author lived in the Island during many years, and speaks of nothing except what he saw, and although a victim of the system there practiced, he has observed the strictest impartiality. If at any time the recital of sad events has disturbed.his equanimity, which always admits of excuse, yet in truth he has copied the very words of official documents whose authenticity is undisputed. The reader has under eye an exact picture of Spanish dominion in Cuba, and can detect from an examination of the same consequences which enable him to judge whether or no the mother country has in good faith fulfilled her duties or compromises, in short, he can determine on which side of the Atlantic are right and justice in these matters to be found.
