within the framework of the Cuba Project which has been directed by Dr.
Mauricio A. Font, Associate Professor of sociology at Queens College and the
Graduate School (GSUC), City University of New York. December 12, 1997 met the
seventeenth seminar, namely "Cuba and New York"
(http://www.soc.qc.edu/procuba/cuetoe.html). May any participant of the seminar

Cuban separatists ("Por otra parte, con la acostumbrada duplicidad de
Washington, Grant había permitido que se construyeran para [...]" Historia de
Cuba. Tercera edición. Dirección Política de las F.A.R., 1971, p. 192) . 2) New
York as a place where was garrisoned the 71 Regiment fighting against the
Spanish troops in the battle of San Juan, July 1, 1898 ("Al amanecer del mismo
día primero, comenzó también la batalla de San Juan. [...]" Ibidem, p. 503)
