AYENGE MURDERED SAILORS
Two Members OF Congress Say that
the Presidents Policy is Too
Slow, and War Spirit
Prevails.

Tie members of the Democratic
League of Delaware, in their house
warming last evening, were much ex-
cited over the speeches made by Sena-
tor K. X. kenney and Congressman L.
l. Handy.
Senator r. Il. kenney was the first
speaker and he made the following re-
marks:
Patriotism is not to be found in the
stock markets of New York city, but is
planted in the hearts of the working
people Of this great and glorious country.
"llr. President and members Of the
Democratic League: l do not receive my
patriotism from the noise of the ticker,
but 1t comes from the blood which flows
through my veins. ...,
The fifteenth day OF February 1893
will be avenged by the American people
unless that guilty nation (Spain) J, backs
from her present position.
''rhe time has come when every man
who loves his country and his flag shall
go forth to war and show this cowardly
country that the United States shall still
maintain her dignity.
delaware though smaller than any
State in the union, contains as much
patriotism as any, and | am proud to
say that | am Delawarien and true
American citizen"
When Congressman L. |. Handy was
called Ai'on the House was in All uproar
but SOON became quiet when he delivered
his speeth in his characteristic style.
"Whenl the candidates for President
were running" said Mr.. Handy, "the
Republican party run i'll their platform IL
statement which proclaimed that they
would restore peace in Cuba if they were
elected.
"What was done to il? Why the
Cubans were shut up in regular pens and
Spanish soldiers stationed on lines laid
out by Spanish officials, and told to shoot
them down ii any ot them crossed that
line. They called these pens Trochia, or
some such name. cannot pronounce it
correctly, nor don't want to. --
Spanish, anyhow, for never liked them,
nor never will.
'These people were kept in these SOFT
OF places, and were not given anything to
eat. they dug i'll the ground for worms
ibr food, and even ate mud for the water
it contained, and the Spaniards called
this war.
When the people were dying in these
pens they prayed that the Stars and
Stripes should float over the island.
no one v ho processes to be Christ
i'm, but ii e Queen of Spain could say:
'..Sliffer little children to come unto me,
and will starve them to death.
The battleship Maine was sent to
Cuba ior hospitality and there recel we'd
her destruction as did 2GG ii Americas :
brave soldiers, and Spain sent her ship
to Nra York ON the same erI;lnu and
passed out of the harbor in safety
The Maine when anchored III Hay
ana ialbor was placed over a certain
buoy, in place where no snip ever
anchored, and was blown up by u sub
marine mine.
"a submarine mine is no personal
weapon that you can carry around III
your pocket, but is public weapon and,
uf course, this particular mine had to be
placed in Havana harbor before the
Mainc's arrival and, on the night Of
February 18th, the button was touched
in a Spanish fort and she came to her
destruction.
AT that moment every light in the.
city went out and up went the light OF
death. and it is my opinion that God
pointed His finger tn Cuba, and it was by
Ills will that the Maine was blown up,
80 that through tins instrulnen'all'y
Cuba should receive her independence
by the help OF the United States.
Mckinley may faiter, but the .Amcrl-
can people will not permit any nation
to blow our battlcSl,ipS to pieces and get
off with it. :,

"The King OF Spain is IL mere child and
it looks now as ii Mckinney is waiting
until he grows into maturity.

hict will not last as long as Mckinley
