But to arrive at this point much
blood has bceh shed, so much and
almost always so lamentable that the
heart shudders at tho recollection;
for every Cuban who has fallen with
arms in defence of liberty ten-fold
the number of old men, womou and
children have perished in this savage
warfare, this war between ¡Spain aud
America.
It is only necessary to evoke the
memory of three centuries of strug
g l e —from the eronquest of the Mon
tezuma» to our own day, and the
character of this autagonism, some
times of arms, but of ideas always—*
to understand the kind of drama en
acted on the fields of Cuba m the
nineteenth century, and in in’ll face
of powerful aud civiiized nations.
But returning to the principal sub
ject, we find in the second period of
the war in Cuba, the Cuban army re
organizing itself in the midst of fa
tigues aud privations, in face of their
adversaries, demoralized and rapidly
losing their first prestige in the midst
of pillage and corruption.
On the other l»n d, the strong de
sire to rise in military rauk became
a mania, and tlie different command
ers of the Spanish columns multiplied
their fabulous bulletins, which have
already reported as killed off and
taken prisoners or surrendered ten
times the entire population of the
island. This farce of fabulous vic
tories and prowress contributed to
kill off the enthusiasm and union
which should sustain every groat un
dertaking when they follow the path
of truth, and the patient and paying
classes commenced to look upou the
falsehood« of the official bulletins as
a gross comedy, and in distinct con
tradiction to the actual results of the
campaign.
During this second period, as the
activity of arms decreased, that of
robbery acquired colossal propor
tions.
Geueral Count Yalmaseda
authorized the captain of mobilized
troops, Antonio Criizman, to seize
and send to the market of Santiago
de Cuba, immense herds of cattle.—
He allowed the same license to Gov
ernor Juau Atnpudia, and also the
Governors of Bayamo, Jiguani, Hol
guin, Tunis, and other places of the
Eastern and Central Departments,
from which resulted the moatshame-
ful pillage, exercised by the same
ones who should have respected and
caused the rights to property to bo
respected, and which devastated the
Central and Eastern Departments,
and a crime was committed wherever
cupidity caught sight of a victim.
The Cuban ferrees. meantime, gath
ered together their scattered prose
lytes. This time they were much
better armed, equipped and expert
rin their peculiar system of war, and
carried withiu their breasts tbe con.
sciousuess of aggravated wrongs and
the certain experience that the Span
ish rulers of Culm would sink into'
the abyss of their blunders rather
than yield an atom to reason and jus
tice. Whereby the situation of af
fairs, then about the middle o f the
fourth year of the rebellion, began
to present a different aspect, which1
we will call the
T h ird P eriod .
The reaotion and activity o f the
Cuban forces now began to be shown1
in the attacks made by them upon-
Spanish encampments and convoys.
The attack upon Holguin, quito a-
large town, and well fortified, caus
ed a terrible effect upon all the time
serving journals, which, neverthe
less, repeated in their continual jer
emiads that this*was bat a conclh1-
sion of the expiring revolution. But
almost at the same time, or in rapid
succession, occurred the attacks up
on Guiamaru, Sibanicu, LasYeguas,
<fcc., while the famous Vincente Gar
cia—who had been traitoriously de
serted by the brothers Urquira and
Pepillo Gonzalez, formerly the prin
cipal lieutenants under his command,
and whose intrepid comrade, Pan-
cho Vega, was rendered hohs de com
b a t —presented the wonderful spec
tacle of keeping at the head of 400
men, at the most, in the same juris
