Ell TEMPO prints this special dis
patch from Havana:
"Word has just been received
here that the Indians are rising
against the Yankees in Illinois,
Ohio, and other places. The farm
ers are petitioning the government
to protect them from the blood
thirsty SavageS, who are burning
houses and killing on every side.
Troops are asked for at Colorado,
in the State of Denver, and at ST..
Louis (San LuiS) in Missipa.
"News is brought to us that
Buffalo Bill, notorious outlaw and
leader of band of half-breeds, has
risen against the American govern
ment, and is burning towns near
his birthplace in New York;
Again on May IL impartial says !:
"The Minister of Marine has re-
ceived most gratifying information
from one of the secret agents in the
United States. 1t transpires that
the Yankee pigs have left unguarded
Hawaii island in Lake Ontario,
a port where all American cruisers
will stop to coal on their way to
Manila. Without going into details
the Minister assures Her Majesty
that Admiral Cervera will have no
difficulty in taking his fleet down the
Mississippi river, which empties
into Lake Ontario, and taking pos
session of this Hawaii island and
preventing the Americans from
securing either coal or provisions.
This information is hailed with de-
light by the patriots. Victory
strides bravely on the horizon and
glorious Spain will add to her pos
sessions instead of yielding one
grain of sand to the American pigs.
Viva la King-Viva Hispana.
In another newspaper we are
given an account of "a rainStorm
which drowned 200 persons. This,
the paper said, was owing to the
"carelesSneSS of Americans"
The Spanish newspapers | saw
were full of insults to Minister
Woodford, some of which, however,
were really funny. Their cartoons
of him all represented the fat and
pudgy Minister with burnsides as a
tall and awkward man whose chin
was adorned with wisp of hair.
They evidently got him mixed with
Uncle Sam. One newspaper had a
paragraph saying that as all Nc
Kinley'S boys were girls the dyn-
asty would pass away at his death.
The same newspaper said:
"The average height among the
Americans is 5 feet 2 inches, and
they have never produced an ath-
lete. This is due to their living
almost entirely upon vegetables, as
they ship all their beef out of the
country, so eager are they to make
money. There is no doubt that
one full-grown Spaniard can defeat
any three men in America" The
journals resound with hyperbole
and high-falultin. Nothing but sup
erlatives are used, and Spaniards
are abjured by all their traditions of
chivalry to take arms against "the
insolent foe."
1t is also amusing to see the atti-
tude of three Spanish students with
whom Parkinson and were on
good terms last year at Julien's.

United States "Sized Up" by Spanish
Newspapers,

The following letter, dated al
Paris, April 20, was sent by ar
American student there to his
mother in Chicago. 1t is interesting
as showing Spanish ignorance con-
cerning this country. Certain
portions of the letter have been
omitted as they related to the per-
Sonal affairs of the writer. The
remainder is as follows:
zone of the students here, an
Ohio boy, studied for two years in
Madrid, and his former teacher,
Martalan, sent him a bundle of
Spanish papers, some of them con-
tanning marked references to Amer
lea and American affairs. Park
inson, who received them, brought
them up to the studio night or two
ago and he let me keep number,
after we had both laughed heartily
over the whole batch.
"Mind you, these ludicrous mis-
takes were not confined to few
ill-informed newspapers, but were
common to nearly all of the Spanish
press represented. This is not
astonishing when one considers that
statistics show that 81 per cent. of
the Spanish population can neither
read nor write, and that an infinite
sinai percentage carry on the cor
respondence for the whole nation.
Parkinson says the schools are of
the most elementary character, and
even the universities of Madrid and
elsewhere are unworthy of compa-
riSon with really serious institutions
of learning. Of the remaining 90
per cent. of population comprising
what may be termed the intelligent
class, not more than 10 per cent.
have ever travelled beyond Rome or
Paris, and five minutes converSa-
ton with one of them will prove
that his education is confined to the
classics and a Sketchy outline of
modern European literature, politics
and history.
"Madrid journalists, my friend
Parkinson tells me, although they
pretend to mold public opinion
there, are no more intelligent than
the others; and certainly the sam
Piles of their work sent by his
teacher would seem to bear him out.
For instance, i'll the Impartial, the
leading Madrid newspaper, and one
which compares itself with the
Temps here or the Times of Lon
don, under the date of April 2, says
in its principal editorial article:
"But behind and beyond the
natural fear of Americans to meet
the brave Spanish army upon land
or our gallant navy upon the sea, is
the danger the Yankee republic
runs of facing a revolution at home.
"lt is not likely that Spain will
find the United States opposing her,
for the government at Washington
will be busily engaged in putting
down a civil war;" "
One of the leading journals of
Madrid, the lmparcial, editorially
remarked on April 2:
at is a fact well known to all
European statesmen that only by
means of armed force stationed in
the late Confederate States has the
Washington government been able
to preserve the Semblance of peace.
Even now the new generation of
the Confederacy is but waiting for
the word to revolt. When war is
declared General Lee, who has been
consul general at Havana, and who
was kicked out of Cuba by Gov
ernor General Blanco, will raise the
standard of revolt and the old
Southern Confederacy. This Lee is

few thousand men all told, anC
they are i'll paid and i'll fed, and moi
willing to fight. 10 utilize this force
it will be necessary to bring it tc
the eastern seaboard. There is but
one railway by which it can be
transported, and that is an old and
poorly constructed affair. At one
place this railroad passes over
Niagara Falls, a cataract I 900 feet
high, near Labrador. At last ac-
counts the bridge at this place was
in very dangerous condition. II
need surprise no one to hear that
some agency had made it still
more so. 1t would serve the hateful
pigs Of Yankees right if their miSer-
able army was thus drowned"
In another part of the same news
paper correspondent suggests that
the Spanish fleet run over to Amer
lea, which he says it could do in
four days, from Cadiz, and lombard
"Ckicago" (Chicago) and other
seaports. The Diario issues an ex-
ira, saying:
"The yangee presidente Mag
ginly committed suicide for fear the
Spanish fleet would capture New
York" The next day it corrects
this and says that he died from a
wound inflicted by brave Spani-
ard. In biographical sketch of
several Americans, the Diario says !:
"Magginly is a naturalized Chi
naman, having been born at
Canton"
The impartial in the same issue,
said:
1--WE have repeatedly called at
tention to the fact that the Amer
leans are ignorant swine who cannot
take care of themselves under any
circumstances. That they are i'm
beetles is shown by the fact that at
Philadelphia the other day a boiler
burst in cigar factory and killed
twenty-seven people. And these
are the people who dare to
defy and insult the Spaniards, with
centuries of chivalry and warlike
history at their backs!"
One issue of the Pals said:
at is pitiful to see what children,
what weaklings the Americans are.
They are as unable to care for
themselves as infants in arms. Yes
terday there were no less than two
railway accidents in America. the
total victims being six. They are
ignorant of the use of steam, and
their telegraph poles are continu-
ally blowing down."
The Pals specializing on what
Spain will do with America when
she shall have conquered it, says:
"The country is not fit to live IN.
The climate is eXecrable. When it
is not sleeting or showing the heat
is almost unbearable. AvalancheS
are frequent at all times, and these
threaten the principal cities. AS
for the people, besides the few
whites engaged in business along the
eastern shore, the remainder of the
country is one vast plain, covered
with Indians called cowboys, and
great herds of roaming cattle"
"We have no navy, according to
the TEMPO, except "a few old YES
sells left over from the civil war of
1876 and clumsily plated with rusty
boiler iron.' From Ostend comes
the news that Don Carlos, the
would-be King of Spain, has said
that 'aS soon as war is declared the
Cubans will join issue with the
Spaniards against the common
enemy There is an intelligent
monarch for you!
