CASTE IN CURA.
(From the Chautauciuaa.)
A Spaniard tfas born in Spain.
His sou, who was born in Cuba, is
not a Spaniard, but a Cuban. If
a Cuban should go to Madrid when
he is two weeks old, and spend all
his life in the palace, he would
still be a Cuban, and not quite as
good as a Spaniard. If a Spaniard
should go to Havana when he is
two weeks old, and spend all his
life in that city or Upon a planta
tion, he would still be a Spaniard
and enjoy the distinction and so
cial position which a Cuban can
nevsr attain. The sons and
daughters of a Spaniard are Cu
bans if they are born in Cuba;
but the sons and grandsons and
great-grandsons of a Cuban must
always be Cubans, no matter if
they were born in Madrid and
spend their whole lives in that
city. No Cuban can ever become
a Spaniard, no matter what hap
pens to him, and from the Span
ish point of vi ew he is a degener
ate.
