SPANS TREAcHERY.

SPAIN's TREACHERY.
On the destruction by explosion Of
the United states battle-ship "Maine"
by treacherous foes in Havana har-
Dor, February Is 1898.
Without suspicion, gently sank to-
rest
The rank ami file Of that ill-fated
crew;
Each heart beat calmly in each
manly breast,
And little thought OF care the
sleeper knew;
No treacherous foe obtruded on the
view
OF dreamer's vision in his hammock
bed,
Nor guessd the slumberer, as the
moments flew,
How soon he would be Numbered
with the dead,
Mid horrid din and flashes fiery red.
Pleasant the ripple of the placid bay,
Gentle the swelling Of the sobbing
sea,
Darkness had follow'd on departed
day,
Nature inclined TO peace and har-
mony;
When there rose a glare quite sud-
denly
And tbund'ring sound upon tue
Silly night,
And hundreds sprang from time
t'eternity,
Mid crash and splash and fash of
lurid light,
Blackness succ eeding to foam Of
white,
A treach'rous foe bad seiz'd upon his
prey,
And crushed his life out with cleo
trio spark;
A treachrous cowrdly foe who hates
the day,
And does his mur'drous actions in
the dark,
There are his victims lying stiff and
stark,
With arms upraised as if in mute
appeal,
Against such treachery. The waiting
shark
Now whets his teeth to taste the
horrid meal,
Yet feels more mercy than these
murders feel.
".
Anon, from hill and dale and wooded
glen
The trait'rous Spaniard sings a
pSan loud,
Rejoicing in this numbering of men.
Who died in tortures without shrift
or shroud.
There has been far more mercy IN a
crowd
HOf hostile Indians, suff'ring from
defeat,
Who to descend to treach'ry were too
proud,
And dar'd upon the field their foe to
meet,
In open day and standing on their
feet.
V.
Acme of infamy! treason's highest
dome!
Since Parthia fought with Rome,
or Troy with Greece,
Meyer did 'fiends of Inquisition's
home
More basely seek for braver mems
release,
And ne'er so cruel was a troops de
crease,
And none but Spaniards such de-
struction crave,
With whom braYe Cuba holds no
thought.of eace,
But gladly hopes for freedom or the
grave,
A death on land or death beneath the
wave.
VI.
OH Land of Liberty Shall Spanish
craft
And crime deprive thee of'a ship so
true,
And crew so noble, both before and aft
The mast that flies the stars in
azure blue
And those brave stripes the world
always knew
To mean Memo impune me.
