newspaper published in Havana. a
copy of which has been received here,
in an editorial published May %. con-
tains the following summary Of the SIT
uation from the point of view Of the
Spanish press:
"A month has gone by since. me cow
ardly Yankees proclaimed war against
Spain. They hen declared that they
would a~nnihilate us; they would core
and take avana and level ou- FORTH
cations to the ground. We now see
that IL was but a cowardly boast, for
not one d~astardly Yankee has set foot
on Cuban soil. They dare not. FOR our
brave soldiers will repulse them end
drive them back TO their own shores.
Have they taken Havana? Not ere
gun has been fired upon our forts. and
their ships, which pretend TO main-
tain a blockade. fear to come within
the range OF the noble guns at MORO
Castle. 1t would mean their dsstruc-
ton. Yankees are towards n cen
do nothing but boast of what the
will do. and then do nothing. Every
good and true soldier of Spain is
anxiously waiting the appearance of
the Yankees. and we will then show
them how well a Spaniard can fight,
and that we can do more than boast.
Wherever the ships of the enemy
have approached our shores they have
been driven bach with disaster, AMI
their attempts to destroy our forts have
resulted instead In the destruction OF
their ships. Our brave soldiers have
poured shot and shell into the enemy
and nobly stood by their guns, and upon
every occasion achieved a Lallant vie-
tory.
I'VE have heard reports 81 the enor-
nous army which was 20 II wade our
island and conquer our army. What has
become Of 1t? They do not dare to come

full well that death will b. certain to
await them. They tried 10 stsrve us

We have plenty to eat. while the Yan-
KEGS have been compelled TO open free
soup houses in all the big cities to feed
their hungry, and the pc )ple die from
starvation. No dog even goes without
food in this capital. but dogs are better
than the dirty Yankees. beef costs 90
cents In New York. and a loaf of bread

stand that?
They are already sorry that they

IT will not be long before our victori-
Gus army will cross over into their
territory and do to them as they would
like to have done to US. We will give
them some of their own medicine. AL
ready our gallant fleet has bombarded
their city of Boston and driven the in
habitants OF that place into the inter-

lives. Next we will move on New York
and no Yankee ships dare to attack us.
knowing full well their inability to
cope with the formidable Spanish navy.
Already there is tumult and insur-
rection among the Yankees because of
the failure of their arms. and the peo-
pie are blaming President Mckinley.
A military guard OF 1000 soldiers sur
round his palace to prevent an assassi-
nation. He never goes out. and IL is
expected daily that news will be sent
of his death. so intensely enraged are
the people because they scent nothing
but defeat in their war against Spain.
Civil war is threatened among the
United States. and II may be looked for
at any moment The wealthy Yankees
OF New York and Philadelphia have
already barricaded their houses
armed their servants. fearing the at
tacks of our forces and the mobs of
their own people.
Such Is the condition which exists in
to-day. while our noble army
and our government. under the brave
and good Captain General Blanco, has
succeeded In pacifylng all of Cuba. so
that peace reigns upon u shores. Span
iards. we have nothing to fear from the
cowardly Yankees. We are already the
v~ictors. and gladly would the enemy sue
for peace.
THE Philippines. which were at first
captured. have been retaken. The ships
of the Yankee commander have been de-
stroyed. with great loss of life. and the
forces nave united with all good
Spanish citizens In driving the foreign
from these islands. and have reor-
ganized their government under the
equitable autonomy. such as exists in
Cuba to-day.
BE brave. Spaniards. We will not be
with compelling the Yankees TO
sue for peace. We will invade n de-
stroy their towns and force them into
submission. Spanish vaior IL the same
to-day that II was I'm the days of old,
and We can see in the near future the
proud flag OF Spain again afoat upon
every sea and planted again upon the
Of America, and once more
Spain viii rule the world, as she did in
the happy days gone by. Viva Espana
