From the yellow fever, the mind nat
urally travels 20 its worse neighbor the
hyena, weyler. That individual has at
tempted at last TO defend his atrociOus
conduct by explaining to his Spanish adj
nirers in Havana, that he never has sought
reputation as humane general that
his conscience is quite easy about booming
thousands of helpless psclficos, men, wOm-
en- and children TO death by starvation.
That, ne says, lis q measure favorable &C.
Spain," hence a necessity OF wal, and
noting il to I've said about it. 1t is notice
able that the Spanish authorities all talk
about the necessities of war W hen they wish
20 excuse any act of fiendish savagery:
but at all other times they deny that there
is or has been any war. Yet their own
been 50 pointed, weighty and numerous.
that they could not have failed to bring
recognition OF Cuban belligerency from any
American Administers ton not actually at
the tirle under direct Spanish influence.
The murder of prisoners ia hospitals, with
TIER physicians and nurses, the wholesale
outrage and butchery OF women, girls
sn6 habes- all these. too, perhaps are
"measures favorable TO Spain," and as
such ius,ifiable in the eyes of weyler.
But IL is a poor rule that will not work
both ways The capture and gradual
elimination OF weyler, by the methods he
has adopted in the cases of his innocent
would be a measure favorable to humanity.
Ergo, If that should happen, it is not likely
that there would be any loud protest.
