18574502Havana 1857. Good plus. Small broadside form approximately 8.5 x 12.5 inches. Previously folded with some separation and minor loss along vertical fold. Completed in manuscript with additional manuscript docketing on blank verso. Ink burn causing additional minor loss in a few small areas. Light edge wear; some staining and offsetting; light tanning. A 19-century Cuban identification form known as a cedula filled out in manuscript to authorize the travel of an Asian indentured servant between plantations in early May 1857. The document was completed for a twenty-six-year-old Asian fieldhand named Chan who had signed a contract to work for one Gallego Toriceo to be transferred to the premises of "P. Soler y Compañia." Printed at the left and right edges are nine articles from an 1855 decree that outline the regulations for issuing and keeping such documents including the following: <br /> <br /> "Estas cédulas servirán de documentos de seguridad y además de licencias de transito para los colonos que se trasladen de un punto á otro de la Isla. Los patronos respectivos cuidarán de que los colonos no emprendan el viage sin licencia expresa suya que haràn constar al pié de la cedula. Si algun colono fuere hallado sin cédula deberá ser detenido y puesto à disposicion del Gobernador ó Capitan del partido mas inmediato e cual dará conocimiento al patrono dentro de segundo dia."<br /> <br /> On the otherwise blank verso is additional contemporary manuscript docketing concerning the transfer of the cedula and therefore the laborer concerned to the receiver located in Matanzas. A very interesting document of the bureaucracy and control of indentured servitude in Cuba during the mid-19th century. unknown

1870231451870. Cuba Chinese Labor Cuban indentured servant contract documenting the state administration of Chinese indenture in western Cuba July 1870 records the municipal enforcement of Cuban contract labor rules for Asian migrants under the post 1860 regulatory system that governed wages discipline illness food and flight. The form cites the Real Decreto of 6 July 1860 and the circular of 27 March 1861 governing the "introduccion y régimen de colonos asiáticos" placing the document within the mature legal framework used to renew and regulate Chinese labor contracts in colonial Cuba. Dated 5 July 1870 it records the continued operation of that system in Matanzas a decade after the initial decree when recontracting rationing medical provision and labor discipline had become standardized through municipal enforcement.<br /> Melchor and Roberto . 5 July 1870. Single sheet. 1 page. Approximately 8" x 11". Printed and manuscript Spanish contract on a form headed "Jurisdiccion de Matanzas." The parties are entered as the colono "Melchor" and "Roberto ." with Melchor identified as a native of a town in China and described as having completed an earlier commitment before agreeing to contract anew with Roberto for "un año." Clause 2 authorizes the patron to assign him to whatever labor his "citado patrono" requires whether in ingenios other fincas or talleres and the wage clause sets compensation at "20 escudos." The maintenance provisions specify daily rations including "12 onzas de carne" and "2 libras de plátanos boniatos ú otras sustancias alimenticias" together with medical attendance medicines during illness and two annual changes of clothing including trousers shirt and blanket. The text concludes with the employer's obligation to pay the twenty-escudo salary by completed months signatures of the parties and witnesses and an official Matanzas stamp.<br /> Contracts of this kind show the process by which Chinese labor in Cuba was renewed after a prior term and folded back into a system that combined wages with coercive control over movement occupation food clothing and bodily maintenance. The references to multiple governing orders the official jurisdictional heading and the stamped validation place the document inside the administrative chain that translated colonial labor law into enforceable local practice. Toning and scattered foxing throughout minor tears to original folds edge wear some minor wormholes and ink offsetting from the manuscript entries; text remains legible and document is in overall very good condition. A strong surviving municipal record of recontracting rationing and wage enforcement within the Chinese indenture system in Matanzas. unknown
1868231331868. Cuba Chinese Labor Cuban indentured servant contract documenting the state administration of Chinese indenture in eastern Cuba in January 1868 with direct evidence of how colonial authorities private employers and local officials formalized the re-contracting of Chinese laborers under the legal framework established after the 1860 royal decree regulating Asian colonos on the island. Printed references within the form cite the Reglamento aprobado por Real decreto de 6 de Junio de 1860 and the Circular del Gobierno Superior Civil de 27 de Marzo de 1861 placing the document squarely within the coercive labor regime that Spanish Cuba built after the suppression of the transatlantic slave trade. The named employer Antonio Gonzalez the identification of the worker as a 37 year old Chinese male "Yuet" and the required signatures and government seal make the sheet a concise administrative record of the contract system through which Cuban planters and officials bound Chinese workers to plantation and rural labor in the final decade before the Ten Years' War.<br /> Tenencia de Gobierno de Holguín. January 1868. One page printed and manuscript contract form approximately 8" x 11". Printed in Spanish with extensive manuscript completion in brown ink. The form opens "Contrata que celebran el colono." and records a renewed labor agreement between a Chinese colono identified in the contract and Don Antonio Gonzalez with manuscript entries identifying the laborer as 37 years of age and supplying the individualized terms of service. The printed clauses set out the structure of the contract in eleven numbered articles including the term of service compulsory labor under the employer's orders days and hours of work subjection to discipline under the Reglamento monthly salary of 14 escudos food and clothing provisions medical attendance and hospital care treatment during illness and the requirement at the end of the contract either to renew service or enter the depósito de cimarrones. The sheet is signed by the patron the colono and the Teniente Gobernador and bears the circular official stamp of the Tenencia de Gobierno at lower left with additional show-through and seal impression visible on the verso.<br /> By 1868 Chinese indenture in Cuba had become one of the island's central labor systems supplying workers to a plantation economy still structured by slavery while giving colonial officials a paper mechanism for disciplining reallocating and surveilling labor. Forms such as this show the overlap between private contracting and state enforcement: the worker's obligations are written into a government template disputes are reserved to local authority and illness wages food clothing and renewal are all treated as administrative matters within a coercive labor order. Very good condition with horizontal fold light toning minor scattered staining and foxing and strong printed text manuscript entries seal and signatures. A compact Holguín government document showing the bureaucratic machinery of Chinese indenture in late colonial Cuba. unknown

Issued on a printed form headed "Jurisdiccion de Matanzas" the document cites the Real Decreto of 6 July 1860 and the circular of 27 March 1861 governing the "introduccion y régimen de colonos asiáticos" then applies that framework to a specific recontracting arrangement between the laborer David and a patron named Juan. Dated 17 February 1867 it shows the continued operation of this municipal contract system after the additional order of 28 March 1866 which is also cited in clause 6 governing illness and compensation.<br /> David and Juan. 17 February 1867.

Clause 8 repeats the employer's obligation to pay David punctually by completed months and to fulfill all conditions set out in the contract which bears multiple signatures and an oval district stamp at lower left.<br /> Contracts of this kind show the process by which Chinese workers in Cuba were transferred from one term of service into another through standardized paperwork that joined wages to labor discipline rationing medical provision and restricted mobility. The references to the 1860 decree the 1861 circular and the 1866 order place the sheet within the evolving legal structure that governed Chinese indenture in Matanzas one of the island's major plantation districts.
