Now. it appears upon this document. repeated in a half dozen places. first that the man says he got his citizenship in 1889. I understand. however. that the Committee on Foreign Relations suggests that that is a misprint. and very possibly it is. He says in several other placesit is repeated all throughthat this naturalization was taken out in the superior court of New York in August. 1878. It is repeated all through that he was engaged in the Cuban insurrection up to 1878. that he came abroad after that time. after the armistice or amnesty of that time. went to New York. and got these naturalization papers within a space of two or three months. So it is absolutely clear that the naturalization paper was fraudulent and that the Department of State and our other officials merely took it for granted without putting the dates together. and now when they are put together it is found that the man is no more an American citizen than the Senator from Virginia is a citizen of Cuba.
