THE DONS DESPISE US.
They Think 1t is Time to Renew the
Insults
We Have Borne with a Patient sbrug-They
VIII Laugh at Our Brsggadocio and
Levy Reprisals on Our Commerce
Energetic Action by Spain Advised.

HAVANA, VIA KEY WEST, June o.
In it's last issue Ell Commercio, the or
gan of the retail grocers, violently at
tacks the United States 1t says, in
part:
ut has become necessary to prove to
the United States that Spain needs
neither their benevolence nor their
commisseration. Those who ask for a
policy of clemency and pardon for men
who have desolated the country with
torch and dynamite, must be convinced
that to resist such a policy all true
Spaniards will become more and more
resolute.
"These Yanks are never satisfied.
They are far more guilty of hardness
of heart than the Cubans. After our
denying atrocities invented by the
American press; after our releasing vari-
Gus convicts charged with high treason
to demonstrate to the American people
the generosity which can look upon
such people as amenable to the laws of
civilized warfare, after all this, still
the Americans believe these fakes"
put up against us, and that we fear
them.
1T is necessary to prove to the Amer
leans that we care nothing for the in
sulting and aggressive stand taken by
the American senate. A country
where the old have less Judgment than
the young is a degenerate country, a
country of premature civilization,
which will rot before it ripens. Let
us tell them, or, better still, let us
prove to them that we can laugh at
their braggadocio.
Foreigners can not own property in
the United States. Let us reciprocate.
Their pirates are overlooked, let us do
the same here. There are not wanting
brave, audacious mariners. who would
patrol Americas seas and occasionally
do what they pleased. The Americans
would file their claims. Our courts
would sentence the offenders to leni-
ent fine and three-hours' imprison-
ment, or release them under fictitious
bond.
Really, the airs put on by those
Americans requires energetic action on
the part of the Spanish people. At
the very moment when the revolution
is almost suppressed they appear again
with their belligerency declaration. We
care nothing for it. They can go
ahead on this line if they please; it
will only more clearly define the situa-
ton, and our heoric navy may yet
prove what it can do with our enemies.
Let it be demonstrated, aside from dip
lomatic methods that the Spanish peo-
pie despise the jingoes of the United
States and know how to spit in their
faces one hundred times"
