[Illustration: THE GREAT ROUND WORLD And WHAT IS GOING ON IN IT.]
VOL. 1 MARCH 4, 1897. NO. 17
The news from Cuba is not very encouraging.
The reforms promised by Spain are not believed in by the Cubans, and the
fighting is going on as fiercely as ever.
General Gomez, who is the head of the insurgent army, declares that Cuba
will never accept anything from Spain but absolute freedom.
When he took command of the Cuban army, Gomez made this a condition of his
acceptance. He did this because, years ago, when Cuba was fighting Spain,
the Spaniards offered all the reforms the people asked for, and promised
them everything they desired.
The Cubans believed Spain, and laid down their arms, only to find that
they had been deceived and cheated. Spain did not keep her word, and
probably never had any intention of doing so.
General Gomez does not mean to give her the chance of deceiving Cuba
twice.
The Cuban leader has issued orders to the sugar planters, forbidding them
to grind their cane, and threatening to burn their plantations if they
attempt to disobey him. He promises the planters a speedy ending to the
war, and says he is absolutely sure of the final triumph of the Cuban
arms.
