No- j where is the soil more productive, j and in no part of the world, under proper sanitary a.rangements, can people enjo\ better health or more comforts. I leave been nearly HO years in Cuba and am more in love with the country than when I first went there.' 'What will be the future of the) island?

' The scut of the government is in the field, j The-archives are on mule back, and the executive head of Free Cuba moves the capital whenever he thinks lies*. That is all right and does not invalidate the claim to recognition. Our forefathers had to move t\e seat of govern, meat numy times. lint intervention renders the Cuban cause nin e certain of success. No i nvolution has ever succeeded in establishing a government that I., ted without help from a ftiendlv nation.' Can Hnhuna be sucres fully defended?' was asked. 'No: it can be starved ou^ in a few weeks,' was the reply. 'The guns on the Iowa and Indi .na can blow to pieces all the foit< on the western side of theharbor entrance. ^ The Ycdado, or aristocratic onarter 1 routing: the Florida straits, can be destroyed in two hours by shells from the ships.
