ernment main months ugo to grant

these concessions promptly, and thus insure to him the moral support of the best elements of the island, and he

promised that the rebelliou would be

tion of coneessuHis until after the rev

a serious question whether, if Spain should decide to grant these rights, she could nt this late day command
