Abstract
Tras la firma del Tratado de París de 1898, España negó con fórmulas jurídicas el
deseo y el derecho de los nacidos en Cuba que la habían apoyado durante la guerra de
Independencia de las últimas colonias, a seguir siendo ciudadanos españoles y, por lo tanto,
a percibir sus sueldos ganados al servicio de España. Por este motivo, el marqués de
Cervera se erigió en defensor de éstos, escribiendo un Manifiesto que remitió a la reina
regente y a las Cortes en 1901, en el que proclama la identidad histórica y cultural compartida
entre España y Cuba, para hacer posible la recuperación de sus derechos como
antiguos ciudadanos españoles, que siguieron residiendo en la isla de Cuba.
After the Paris Treaty in 1898, Spain refused Cubans who had supported it in the Independence War of the last Spanish colonies, their wish and right of keep on being Spanish citizens. As a consequence, they also lost their wages. That was the reason why the marques of Cervera defended them, writing a Manifiesto to the regent Queen and the Spanish Court in 1901, in which he proclaims the historical and cultural identity that Spain and Cuba had shared, like the best lure to make possible the recovery of their rights as older Spanish citizens, still living in Cuba.
