and 5000 tons of silver crossed the
ocean to be squandered in Spain. Penni-
less noblemen borrowed money to pay
their passage to America and returned

daughter of nobleman and celebrated
the occasion by giving away in aims

How Ruin Came.
At her zenith Spain seemed to possess
invincible power. Only one nation dared
to challenge it. That nation was Eng
land. Spain's argosies were successfully
attacked in the south seas. Then came
the destruction of the great armada.
The charm was broken. Spain started
on the downward path and never stop
ped. Foes developed without and with
in. Under Ferdinand and Isabella be-
gan the ruin of the country which their
successors have completed. They drove
the Jews and the Moors out OF Spain.
1t is that fact in Spanish history which
accounts for the nations decadenoe.
The Jew and the Moor were traders and
artisans. They constituted the middle
class, and they were the people which
the fanaticism of Isabella and the dark
zeal of Torquemada banished from
| Spanish soil. When they were gone, the
fires of the inquisition were lighted for
the thinkers and free thought was al

ant From the days of Ferdinand to the
DAYS of Weyler it has been the policy OF
Spain to terrorize her subjects into SUBJ
mission by torture and butohery. From
first to last this policy has been a fail
ure.
Early in the sixteenth century the
Netherlands revolted and formed the
United Provinces. The sturdy Dutch
men destroyed what remnants remained
of the Spanish navy. and in l643, at
Rocroy, the Spanish infantry, hitherto
invincible, was beaten and forever
broken. Portugal and her vast posses

RebelIious Remnants OF an Empire.
Beyond the rear end of the Spanish
peninsula, few islands adjoining her
shores and penal colony in Africa in
which political prisoners are starved
and tortured Spain has nothing left but
Cuba and the Philippines, and both are
in revolt. Columbus declared Cuba to
be the "most beautiful land ever beheld
by human eyes," Her peaceable natives
the Spanish exterminated with every
horror of torture. Since there was no
gold in the island Cuba was neglected
and ignored for many years. But the
Spanish colonized it and ultimately
found that its sugar plantations and to-
bacco fields were more profitable than
gold mines. For two centuries 1t has
proved the most valuable Of all Spain 8
possessions. Cuba finally grew tired of
being plundered by Spain, and rebellion
after rebellion arose, only to be ruth
lessly suppressed. Then came the ia
nous ten years war and finally the
present formidable insurrection. The
smaller island of Puerto Rico, which,
with Cuba, makes up the remnant Of
Spains empire in America, commands
but slight attention. It's history has

some years Miranda made occasional

of which he engaged the interest of the

years of conflict followed, not promising
for the insurgents. Then came an earth
quake. 1t destroyed Caracas, killing a
number of people. The superstitious
troops of the insurgents thought it was
an omen, threw down their arms, de-
serted or surrendered, and the rebellion
was at an end. Miranda was captured,
taken to Spain and died in prison-mur-
dered, it may be surmised. Bolivar
escaped into the neighboring province
of New Granada.
In October, 1919. Bolivar re-entered
Venezuela with 500 men, declaring war
to the knife against Spain. Victory fol-

on, until 1891, when New Granada and
