newspaper published In Havana, copy
of which has been received here. In an
editorial published May q, contains the
following summary Of the situation from
the view point of the Spanish press:
"A month has gone by since the coward
ly Yankees proclaimed war against Spain.
They then declared that they would anni-
hilate US: that they would come and take
Havana and our forts together. We now
see that 1t was but q cowardly boast, for
not one dastardly Yankee has set foot on
Cuban soil. They dare: not. for our brave
back to their own shores. Have they tax
en- Havana? Not one gun has been fired
upon our forts. and their ships, which pre-
tend to maintain q blockade, fear to come
within the range of the noble guns OF
Moro castle. It would mean their destruc-
ton. Yankees are towards. and can do
nothing but boast of what they will do,
and then do nothing. Every good and
true soldier Of Spain is anxiously awaiting
the appearance Of the Yankees. and we
will then show them how well spaniards
can fight. and that we can do more than
boast.
Wherever the ships Of the enemy have
approached our shores they have been
driven back with disastrous loss, and their
attempts to destroy our forts have result
ed, instead, In the destruction of their
ships. Our, brave soldiers have poured
shot and shell into the enemy and nobly
stood by their guns. and upon every oc-
cas!on achieved q gallant victory.
I'VE have heard reports Of the enormous
army which was to invade our island and
conquer our army. What has become Of it7
They do not care to come and meet the
brave Spaniards, knowing full veu that
death will be certain to await them. They
tried to starve u. but. ON the contrary.
they are starving themselves, for bread and
meat are higher in New York than they are
in Havana. We have plenty to eat. while
the Yankees have been compelled to open
free soup houses in all the big cities to feed
their hungry. and the people die from
starvation. No dog even goes without good
food in this capital. but dogs are better than
the dirty Yankees. Beef costs 80 cents in
New York and loaf Of bread Is cents.
How long can the shopkeeping Yankee.
who thinks Of nothing but dollars. stand
that?
They are already sorry they have begun
war against Spain. but we win dive them
cause for deeper rexret. It win not be long
kefore our victorious army VIII cross over
into their territory and do to them as they
would like to have done to us. We Win
give them some Of their own medicine.
Already our gallant feet has bombarded
their, city Of Boston, and driven the inhab-
itants Of that place into the interior.
compelling them to fee for their lives. Next
We will move upon New York, and no Yam
kee ships dare attack us, knowing full well
their inability to cope with the formidable
Spanish navy.
ALREADY there Il tumult and insufrec-
tion among the Yankees because Of the
failure Of their arms. and the people arc
blaming President Mckinley. A military
guard Of 1000 soldiers surrounds his pal
ace to prevent an assassin from reaching
him. He never goes out. ana It II expect
ed daily that news WIN be sent out OF his
death, 20 intensely enraged are the people
because they see nofhing oet de1eat IN tneir
