Excerpt from The Book of Blood: An Authentic Record of the Policy Adopted by Modern Spain to Put an End to the War for the Independence of Cuba; October 1868 to November 10, 1873
We will exhibit first a catalogue of the persons murdered in cold blood by order of the Spanish Government of Cuba leaving out of considera tion the killed on the battle field. We give with the name of each victim the source, in the most part Spanish, from which we have taken the data.
We will also give a list of the names of those captured by the Spanish troops with arms in their hands since the 1st of March, 1869, taking them always from Spanish sources. We have selected the date because on the 12th of February a decree was issued and published in all the papers in Cuba, to shoot all the insurgents captured with arms in their hands. In this list we only include the names of those whose execution has not been noticed in the newspapers, and of whom no mention has ever been made but knowing as we do the law and the savage character of the rulers in Cuba, it is easy to understand what their fate has been.
The third list comprehends those condemned to death in the garrote by a military commission sitting in Havana but not executed on account of being out of the reach of the Spanish hangman.
