Kings abdicate when theyl are in ihe way of the happiness of then peoples. In the present hour happiness of the Cuban nation is compromised by vour presence at the government, owing1 to vour double capacity of candidate and ^ of 'president of the republic.

"Pending grave moments, one must abide bv the voice of coinscience. not that of wounded pride, and stil less to the voice of the mob that surround you. incapable to understand and to feel grand historical responsibilities. This is the advice I would follow, although not a native of Cuba.' which in your con I stderation is a cause of less patriotism." j SWITCHED BOX | HOLDING S045 KINOMONT MINES BUNCOES Or LITE'S SAVINGS BY CLEVER ITALIANS.
