CABRERA 



party ceased to be the genuine representa- 

 tive of the movement of protest against 

 the oppression, Cabrera abandoned its 

 ranks and withdrew from political life in 

 1893. 



A few years earlier, in 1887, he had 

 written, as a result of a controversy, a book 

 which embodied the history and aspira- 

 tions of the Cuban people of that time. 

 Cuba y sus Jueces was the title of the work 

 which ran through nine editions in a short 

 time and was translated into English where 

 it appeared as Cuba and the Cubans. 



At the beginning of the War of Inde- 

 pendence in 1895, Cabrera emigrated to 

 New York and founded the illustrated 

 magazine Cuba and America. 



This magazine, which is still alive, soon 

 gained a wide circulation and was the 

 channel of a fearless campaign in support 

 of the independence of Cuba. When peace 

 was made Cabrera returned to Havana 

 where, instead of seeking political office, to 

 which both his deserts and his talents gave 

 him high claims, he immersed himself in 

 the practice of his profession as advocate.
