THE HOG CIGARETTE.
This is called lei Chancho cigarette"
or the hog cigarette. 1t comes from
Buenos Ayres, where the Spanish call
US hogs, and publish a vile sheet in
which we are characterized as the pigs
OF the universe. Where they have got
this contemptuous term do not know
Perhaps from the fact that they have
heard that we make much money out
OF pork. AT any rate Los Yankees"
and Los Chances are commonly used
here by the lower Spanish in referring

Buenos Ayres are sheets, colored Gig
arctic cartoons as big as a table cloth.
representing President Mckinley as a
hog being marched off to prison by two
Spanish soldiers. The hog is dressed
In the Stars and Stripes, the red, white
ana blue OF our national colors His
hands are tied behind him and tears
crop from his eyes as he is marched
off crying:
why do you take me to jail? For
stealing?'
Such is the poster which a friendly
nation allows to be put upon the bill
boards Of its capital. The cigarette
boxes are equally bad. On one side is
what is supposed to be picture of our
congress. One hog, as speaker, in the
national colors, is haranguing other
hogs who sit at the desks below. On
the other side are pictures of Spanish
soldiers firing at the American fleet,
and hogs flying through the air in
pieces. Other cigarette pictures show
naval engagements in which the hogs
are being blown into atoms
SPANISH ILLUSTRATED PRESS.
There is leading pictorial weekly of
Buenos Ayres which is being circulate
ed by the thousand all over South
America. You see it in the Spanish
stores here, hung up in the windows.
and it Is greedily bought and applaud
ed by the people. 1t is so vile that II
would not be tolerated as decent in
America. Our Police Gazette and vel
low journals are Sunday school tracts
beside it. In this paper there are week.

leans always being pictured as hogs.
Here President Mckinley is cartooned
as the king of the. hogs In the last
issue, which lies before me, the chief
cartoon is an illustration of the anger
the Spanish feel at the friendly rela-
tons of America and England. 1t con-
sists of a picture of Queen Victoria
wearing a crown ana holding our PreSi-
dent, the pig Mckinley, as a baby on
her lap, while she acts the part of wet
nurse to him. Below is a Spanish
rhyme, which reads:
Mckinley, you have a good nurse.
She will satisfy your hunger and
thirst
Further over on the sheet is a pic
ture of a Spanish general roasting a
lot Of pigs on a spit, and on the other
side are Spanish soldiers cutting I'D
hogs. This is labeled Public Slaugh-
ter House of Yankee Pigs" In addi-
ton there IS another hog cartoon de-

here. Pieces of gun and pieces of
