To take their places, 22,000 miditional men have just been gent from Spain, This time they have sent veteran eoldicrs, Does this look as if there were no serious revolution in Cuba? HI. The Spaniards have also, from first to last, enlisted in Cuba about 60,000 volun twers. ‘These were made up from artisans, shopkeepers, and laborers, all Spaniards, thrown out of employment by the revolu- tion, Of these 60,000 volunteers there are now in existence lesa than 40,000, the re mainder having perished by the incidents of the war, Does this look as if there were no revolution and no fighting ? 1V.

Every influence, little or large, good or bad, unworthy or convenient, was sought here and elsewhere to fortify the policy of subjugating more completely the island of Cuba, and of strengthening the Lands of Prim and his fellow brigands—for such they are, and nothing more.
