CO CUBA'S MANIFESTO Submitted to the American People Today. CUBANS ASK ONLY FOR JUSTICE It Is Declared No People Could Bear the Wrongs Endured by the Cnbans Without Protest. Washington, Dec. 16. The manifesto of the Cuban revolutionary party to the people, of the United States was made public today. It is a long document, prepared by Enrique Jose Varona, ex deputy, of the Spanish cortes, and re views the history 3f the revolutionary agitation in Cuba and the present con ditions on the island. The manifesto summarizes the Cubans' need thus : "The people of Cuba require only lib erty and independence to become a fac tor in the prosperity and progress of civ ilized nations, instead of an element of disturbance and ruin. The fault lies en tirely with Spain. Cuba is not the of fender, but it is the defender of its rights. Let America, let the world de cide where rest justice and right." It is set out that no people could bear the wrongs' endured by the Cubans with out protest,- or without degrading and condemning themselves to annihilation. The manifesto concludes : "Spain denies the Cubans all effective powers in their own country: condemns them to political inferiority in their na tive land; confiscates the product of their labor without giving in return either safety, presperity or education. Spain has shown herself utterly incap able of governing Cuba, which it ex ploits, impoverishes and demoralizes. Cubans, not in anger, but in despair, have appealed to arms to defend their rights and vindicate that eternal princi ple, withhout which every; community is in danger, the principle of justice. Nobody has the right of oppression. Spain oppressess us. In rebeling against oppression we defend the right; in serv ing our own cause we serve the cause of mankind. We have not counted the number of our enemies, nor measured their strength. We may find rain and death a few step ahead. So be it, we do our duty. If the worid is indifferent to our cause, so much the worse for all. A new iniquity shall have been consumma ted. The principle of human solidarity shall have suffered defeat." TUB FKEXCn FBESIDEKT.
