No doubt Of It'll He will have 10 moro time to
think about himself for thinking Of his lost
money. q part of which will very soon be in Mr..
Bennott's pockets.
Now return from Monte Carlo to Madrid. In
October of 1895 the entire Newspaper press of
Spain published certain astounding declarations
Of Canovas del Castillo. then Primo Minister.
Senor Canovas upbraided the journals of his
country for their quarrels among themselves
and their attacks upon the Cabinet at tho time
of war in Cuba and danger OF international
complications with the United States.
"This 10 not patriotism. said the Prime Min
lister to the Spanish journalists. LOOK at the
Cubans. See how closely they are united
against US in all their public utterancss. They
publish newspapers in the United States with
tho sole aim of preserving among the Cuban
emigrants their hatred of Spain. They have
done more. They have attracted to Themselves
the sympathy of tho newspapers Of the United
States. and the result is that the American
press 10 almost wholly against us. We have,
there only one newspaper which, at Intervals
defends our cause. I do not mention him, be-
cause he 10 paid for It,"
This unexpected revelation stirred up tho
Spanish press. Tho Republican newspapers Of
Spain at once demanded Of the Prime Minister
an explanation of his statement. To what
American newspaper did no referi Canovas
kept silent. The Herald also kept silent. But
Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, clearly understand
ing that the Prime Ministers declaration meant
that he was not ready to pay down moro money.
began to change the Herald's policy in favor Of
the Cubans.
Everybody remembers Mr.. Benefits famous
article "Tho Writing on tho WALL" and the
Herald's various threats against Spain. uttered
from time to time during the last days of Mr..
Cleveland's Administration. These attacks and
threats. however. were Systematically intermlt-
tent. With a prudent consideration of future
possibilities, Mr.. Bennett would modify on ono
day the bitterness of the previous days assault.
From the date when Sefior Canovas published
tho statement quoted above down to tho time Of
Mr.. Bennett's latest understanding with tho
Spanish Ministry under SaRasta, the Herald
has afforded to tho American public the siRnif.
ooot anactanla ~ fa contradiction nolicv and
selfstultifyinR utterances with regard to Spain.
At last Senior Sagasta came into power. With
him. as Minister for the Colonies. came Don
segismundo Moret. With their advent began
the attempt to deceive both the Cubans and tho
people OF the United States by tho ~pretence of
establishing home rule In Cuba. simultaneously
Senior Dupuy do Lome. the Spanish Envoy Elk
traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at
Washington. recommended to his Government
the utility Of establishing a propaganda here In
order to make converts to the Spanish cause
among tho American people.
Senior Dupuy de LONE 10 the author OF tho
book de Madrid q Madrid" printed in 1873
and slandering the American people In the most
cowardly fashion. THE SUN printed extracts
from this book in March Of last year. 1t is not
strange that Q diplomat holding such opinions
OF the men and women of the United States as
are expressed by the Spanish Minister in tho
book mentioned should advise his Government
to undertake the business OF propagandism. or
that he should start in Washington a bureau
for tho perversion of news and the manufacture
of pamphlets and newspaper articles favorable
to Spain.

advice Of Senior Dupuy do lone ! leave TO the
Spanish newspapers TO disclose.
