Shores. O n e of Cuba's first and most illustrious exiles was the philosopher-priest Felix Varela, w h o founded El Habanero newspaper in Philadelphia in 1824 and moved it to New York in 1825. Subtitled "papel politico, cientifico y literario" (political, scientific and literary paper), El Habanero openly militated for Cuban independence from Spain. Varela set the precedent for Cubans and Puerto Ricans of printing and publishing in exile and having their works circulated in their h o m e islands.
S. government policy regarding Cuba and Puerto Rico. Very few of the exiled intellectuals found work in the English-language press, except as translators. One notable exception was Miguel Teurbe Tolon, who in the 1850s worked as an editor for Latin America on the New York Herald. Teurbe Tolon had been an editor of La Guirnalda (The Garland) newspaper in Cuba, where he also had launched his literary career as a poet. In the United States, besides working for the Herald, he published poems and commentary in both Spanish- and English-language periodicals, and translated Thomas Paine's Common Sense and Emma Willard's History of the United States into Spanish.
Most of these Hispanic printers and publishers were rather short-lived, but eventually two enterprises appeared with strong enough financial bases and business acumen to last for decades and provide some of the most important books by Hispanics in the nineteenth century: the houses of Cubans Nestor Ponce de Leon and Enrique Trujillo, from whose presses were issued some of the renowned classics of the Spanish-speaking world, authored by exiled authors Jose Maria Heredia, Jose Marti, Lola Rodriguez de Tio, and Pachin Marin, among many others.
