It is Impossible to do that, and to pretend such a irbirmr might be little honor to you. Is your purpose ro subdue us That 1 "absurd and might prove a ridiculous attempt for you. Our determination Is well known and patent. Neither extermination nor submlwlon would mean peace. In view of this f ict i ippeai to you. ro wnrrm Let this bloodshed stop.' Spain should not allow Cuba t ovrei her Independence directly or Indirectly to outside help. Let the deep abyw between Cuha-s and Spaniards disappear by Spain's recogni tion of Che Cuban republic. Then there shall he elermil peace. Otherwise there shall be blood and fire. That would be the command o' cur honor nnd dignity I We wl follow t until victory which al ways crowns those who fight for Jitlee, settle our fate." PUTc-RANTS REMAINS.
