THE SPANISH PARTY
In this island The tone OF the article indicate 9
clearly that the surrender OF the Virgnius Is not
forgotten, that it still rankles in the Spanish heart
and that only fitting opportunity is wanting TO
take revenge In some shape for what is believed to
be crime. The REIMBURSEMENT by the United
States OF the demand for salute to the nag gives
them great heart in Havana. Several spaniards
were heard to say this morning, on reading this
news:-"We have won one point. All you have to
do with these Yankees is to kin their men, put
them to the expense OF $5,ooO,ooo or $aOoo0 900,
return their OLD ships and apologize. 1t has cost
US about 100000 to get our old guns mounted on
cur old iorts and to make the show Of getting
ready for war it has cost the Yankees millions. We

LOST NOTHING BUT THE OLD SHIP,

timent is pretty general and once more the Span
ish mind is inflated with the notion that America
