MAD ACT OF SPANISH FATHER.
Flung His Son Overheard to Save Him
From the Yankee Pigs"

Most people, doubtless. fancy that by
this time they know all that is worth
knowing about the destruction of Ger
vera's fleet at Santiago. They are mis-
taken. The half has not been told The
worst may never be.
Every great military death grapple is
q mine of horrors. For years afterWard
new and shocking tragedies are con-
tinually brought to light, like the bones
turned up by the pillow on battlefield,
and it often happens that the worst is
unearthed last.
The following tragic incident was re-
lated to number of persons by one of
the crew of the Oregon-a seaman nam
ed Reardsley, who was not only an eye
witness of the mad act. but also an I'M
willing cause as will be seen. 1t is a
startling illustration both of the essen
tal savagery of Spanish nature and of
that incredible ignorance of American
character. which was a chief cause of
the war.
This last must be borne in mind. The
Spanard sees in us what we conceive to
be distorted image of himself. In his
eyes we are no better than savages, ut
terly immoral and as cruel as fiends.
You couldn't squeeze these misconcep-
tions out of him with hydraulic presses.
Such is his fixed belief this is what il
led to.
1t was late in the forenoon of that
ever memorable July g. The victory
was Won The Spanish battleships,
stranded along the shore. were helpless
hulks shell-torn and burning. Some of
them had become Veritable crematories
The crews driven to desperation, were
leaping into the surf-those. at least,
whom the wrecking storm of missiles
blown from the threats of American
cannon had left with limbs to so upon.
The fate of those who lay mangled and
helpless within those slowly reddening
walls of steel is too horrible TO dwell
upon.
Roasting and drowning are no part
of the American programme of war.
The men who had just ceased pound
ing the enemy to pieces with tons Of
! streaming metal now leaped into boats
and pulled swiftly to the rescue.
Among these was Beardsley. who was
one of tho first to reach the Maria
Teresa and clamor up its shattered
side to the thronged and blood-splashed
/ deck.
Here the confusion was beyond de-
/ scription 1t was worse than the worst
I moments on the Bourgogne. To the
wreck was added the terror Of fire and
/ an unreasoning panic at sight of the
Americans for those who lad come to
/ save were by many thought to nave
come TO slaughter.
| In the midst of ths pandemonium
] Be3rdsley presently observed lutte
/ fellow not more than years old run
/ ming about without protector. He
| did what any man with a cool mead
! and a warm heart would feel prompted
| to do at such a sight-ran to the child
and offered to take charge of MIN.
! That his action could be misinterpret-
| ed never entered his mind.
