SPAIN'S LOST COLONIES

When one considers the colonial pos
sessions that Spain has lost in recent
centuries, he can better understand the
desperation with which that nation
clings to Cuba. Spain was once the lead
ing colonial nation of the world. She
was the possessor of Mexico, Venezuela,
Colombia, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia
Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentine and
Central America. and has lost them all
because with each she exercised the pol
icy of brutality, despotism, extortion, ex-
termination and devastation, against
which Cuba and the Philippine islands
are today in open revolt.
Spain has pursued that policy in the
face Of a liberty earning, liberty-loving
people, whose sense of humanity and
justice has been outraged, whose people
and property have been destroyed, and
whose business has been interfered with,
until the American people have called a
halt. 1t is too late for Spain to reform
She has had many opportunities and has
ignored them all. Now
she must once more pay the penalty of
her misdoing.

UNCLE SANS NAVY

The demand for information respect

the ordinary sources of supply no long
or suface to satisfy it. The public, while
eagerly devouring whatever news IL
publishe ed, also seek such knowledge OF
our naval resources as pictures alone
can furnish. since these appeal moro
clearly to the perceptions than printed
descriptions, and are thus pleasure for
the eye as we'll as q satisfac ction to tho
Intelligence. To fulfill this patriotic
desire and to stimulate loyal sentiment
this portfolio series has been prepared,
essch part of which will contain six
teen pages. 11x13]S inches in size, and
"a many superb Photographic iliustra-
tiens printed on heavy plato paper,
bonnd in colored paper covers.
These Views will embrace our great
battleships, cruisers, monitors, gum
boats, torpedo boats, coast defense
boats, dynamite cruisers, auxiliary ves-
sells, portraits OF naval commando ers,
ship crews, officers and men. drill ex-
orcises, big guns. etc., each picture be-
ing accompanied by all needful text
1nformation.
In addition to these illustrations.
there will be original pictures repre-
senting the explosion of the battleship
Maine, the harbOr of Havana and a war
map of Cuba, supplemented by facts
historic and explanatory, that will af-
ford . complete understanding not only
of our naval efficiency, but also of the
ovocations that prompted to the max
ing Of war preparations against prob
able hostilities.
There will be six portfolios, published
In weekly issues, tn 9 first of which will
be rcady for delivery about April 3.

THE GALLANT MAINE

In strong response our hearts arise
To freedoms glorious call,
So fling our standard to the skies;
Arouse We, one and all.
Up, up! you sons of warriors strong;
Unsheath your swords again;
Right a defenseless country's wrong
Avenge the gallant Maine.
Your fathers oft 'galnst fearful odd,
That glorious banner bore;
So. as tribute to their gods,
Unfurl its stars once once more
Strike. strike, in justice to your brave
BY Spanish dastards slain.
Their spirits shout above their graves:
"Avengs the gallant Maine
Far, far from home, meath other skies
They lie, the true and brave;
Yet freedom, Phoenix-like. shall rise
Above the martyrs grave.
That bastard deed, that coward stroke,
Was dealt by bloody Spain;
So rise and break the CALLING yoker
Avenge the gallant Maine.
With weeping many an eye is dim,
OF mother, child and wife,
For those who died by murder grim,
And not in manly strife.
Must all these tears and all this woe
Exist for them in vain?
Our nations millions answer: mo!
Avenge the gallant Maine" .
