SPAIN may as we'll understand
as last that the American people
are united in their determination
to uphold the dignity of the Stars
and lStripes. This country will
not tolerate affronts to its flag, nor
assaults upon its shipping by the
blackmailers and tyrants who
have driven the peaceful Cubans
into rebellion. American mer-
chants vessels which use the
Windward Passage for Legitimate
purposes will be protected by the
whole power of the United States.
Secretary Gresham's action has
commanded the unanimous appro-
val of patriotic Americans. He
has struck a keynote to which
public sentiment vibrates from
the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and the nation stands ready TO
make good every word of his
manly message to the despoiler
Of Cuba and the assailants Of
American rights. The demand
made upon Spain was neither
hasty nor ill-considered. 1t will
not be withdrawn. The insult Of.
fered the flag Of this Republic
must be followed by ample apol-
ogy and respectful salutation. The
demand is an ultimatum. II
must be complied with or ex.
IRENE measures will follow. II is
not believed that Spain will delay
peaceful reparation.
An experienced naval officer,
who has had much to do with
diplomatic affairs, says: "While
! do not believe that there is the
slightest prospect Of war, I believe
that unless the Government Of
Spain offers an apology without
unreasonable delay there will be
powerful feet flying the United
State in Cuban waters"
