How did spanish authorities respond to the rebel attacks led by jośe marti

Answer: They responded by force to protect their interests.

Explanation:

Marty led the military operations for Cuba's independence in 1895. This entailed a series of smaller uprisings in multiple locations controlled by the Spanish. As time went on, the movement sank, so after the initial military successes, two years after the rebellion, the Cubans were outnumbered. The Spanish sent more troops.

America has strongly condemned the crimes of the Spanish in Cuba, and soon after an incident with an American ship, the Spanish will learn to war with America. America will, therefore, mostly end the Spanish rule in Cuba, and "pave the way" for Cuba's independence.
