Con sidering the elements of its population, and the number of frican persuasion, it has made a good fight for indepen dence and freedom from Span ish domination.

But it can never be bought, under invol untary subjection to Spain. In a country of inaccessible mountains, where the products of the earth mature ever' six weeks in thoTycar from seed time to harvest, a native population tired of oppression could maintain the fight for ages, armed only with the primitive machette.
