From the Preface:
The following pages have been inspired by two visits to the West Indies, one just prior to the breaking out of the Cuban rebellion, and the other during the war between Spain and the United States. The aspect of any people is so different in war from peace that possibly the difference has imparted too much color to my impressions and opinions. During the last three years I have taken an active part in the movements looking toward the aid of the sick and injured in Porto Rico and Cuba, and have been thrown into contact with many natives of both commonwealths. My sympathies, it is needless to say, have been with them rather than with the Spanish administration
