match for Spanish prowess. Spain has ex-
hibited in the contest nothing to command
our respect. On the contrary, her whole
policy on the island has been marked by inn
becility and brutality. If in the open field
and deadly conflict she had exhibited any of
her old historic valor, we might be led to be-
lieve that the present degenerate race of
Spaniards, after all, had some of the old
Castilian blood left But alas no. If the
numbering in cold blood Of old men and de-
fenseless women would give her the claim,
she has it, but in nothing else.
Not content with the cold-blooded butcheries
that have marked her treatment of the poor
Cubans, she has of late varied the perform
ance by shooting down in open day unarmed
American citizens, and yet no voice in autho-
rity gives utterance to indignant protest.
The American people are dumb, and open
not their mouths" Will nothing arouse
them, and especially Mr.. Secretary Fish, to O
sense of duty and the call of honor? 1t has
been limited that those in authority are very
nervous about the power of the Spanish
army. We don't sympathize in their fear;
but if we are in such lamentable condition,
the sooner we correct the evil the better, SO
that we may not be deferred from doing our
duty for fear of q fifth-rate power. Let the
administration speak but the word, and the
electric cord will vibrate from one end of the
land to the other. But if the administration,
from whatever cause, fails to respond to the
demands of the hour, let the people arouse to
q sense of what is due from them in sympa-
thy and moral support, if in nothing else, to
gallant people contending, amid suffering
and great privation, for the freedom of their
native land.
