AN INSPIRED PAMPHLET.

| KEY WEST, Florida, March "a pas
senger on the Olivette. which has just
reached here from Havana, brought with
| him a pamphlet which discloses very
clearly the temper of the Spaniards to-
wards the United States. The pamphlet is
styled, - The War with the United States
| and the Cuban Inslirrection.' 1t was in.
spired by the Spanish government, and
General Weyler is having it spread broad
| cast throughout the island. Every line in
in the pamphlet bristles with denuncia'
ton of the United States and American
citizens. 1t declares that, although the
| United States and Spain are on the verge
of war, yet Spaniartls need not be alarmed
for they would have the aid of every Euro
pean nation. It continued:
"Should the United States declare war
against any European nation, all the rest
of the world would give the assailed one
efficient aid. 1t is essential that we should
bear in mind the fact that there exhists in
the United States many states which, In
the shape of intrigue are struggling for
| their independence and would hail the out
break of European war as the opportunity
1or their own emancipation. All these
reasons have contributed to the establish
ment of the indisputable fact that the
government of Washington could not
recognize the bellgerency of the Cuban
secessionists.
"Span has always been invincible and
as certainly as the indignities of the Am
| erlcan government reach the point of ac-
knowledging the be.ligerency of the Cuban
rebels will Spain declare war. The blood
| OF the SONS OF Spain, when it boils over
from the heat OF an insult offered to the
native land, in not to be controlled by COLI
slderaticn of property or interest. Con-
| hdeut of the valor of her sons, Spain has
never feared the United States, and
| on the day when the government of
| Washington recognizes the beiiigerency of
the rebels we will declare war; If Spain
| declares war against the United States it
| will not be solely on account of having
recognized the belligerency of the rebels,
but also because we have considerable
number OF grievances against her. The
| United States could not have borne herself
toward Spain in more despicable man
ncr. The Mora indemnity, the Alliance
imbroglo, the display of rebel flags in the
streets of New York, the refuge which the
| rebels enjoy in Key West aud in Florida,
the privilege Of making all manner of DEM
onstrations of dlsaffection toward Spain,
the departure from the United States of fill
clustering expeditions, and worse, the
American syndicates formed to furnish
money to the rebels, constitute series of
offenses against Spain, none of which has
been avenged solely because the Washing
ton government has pretended that the in
surgents did not enjoy official favor.
Annexation is the aim of the Ameri-
cans, and if their disreputable conduct
cause war, still we must laugh at the
fn'ility Of the hopes of these thisving
Yankees"
