by the Cuban butohors-at St. Jago do
Cuba. The letter was obtained from
Gen. Rafael Quesads- by a ,Times rb.,

the original bre the omnprOss .of the
tears shed by the heroic writer. It
was the last communication over

to staite that the letter necessarily,
omiits 11 reflections on the Spanish
G'overnment, but, before his death,
Fry gave utterance very forcibly- to
h is opinions on-that subject, his silence
only coming with his death :"
