New York, June lei Progresso. a
newspaper, published in Havana, a copy
Of which has been received here, in an
editorial published May %, contains the
following summary of the situation from
the view point of the Spanish press:
"A month has gone by since the cow
ardly Yankees proclaimed war against
Spain.
'They then declared that they would
annihilate us; that. they would come and
take Havana and level our forts to the
ground.
I'VE now see that 1t was but cowardly
boast for not one dastardly Yankee has
set foot on Cuban soil They dare not,
for our brave soldiers viii repulse them
and drive them back to <heir own shores.
Have they taken Havana? Not one gun
has been fired upon our forts and their
ships, which pretend to maintain a block
ade, fear to come within the range of the
noble guns of Moro Castle Il would
mean their destruction
yankees are towards and can do moth
ing but boast of what they will 90 and then
do nothing. Every good and true soldier
of Spain is anxiously awaiting the ap-
nrpn Of ka Xa1 Ice 49,
show them how well a Span1ard can fight,
and that we can do more than boast
Wherever the ships Of the enemy have
approached our shores they have been
driven back with disastrous loss and their
attempts to destroy our forts have result
ed instead in the destruction of theiT
ships. Our brave soldiers have poured
shot and shell into The enemy. and nobly
stood by their guns ana upon every occa-
sion achieved a gallant victory
we have heard reports of the enormous
army which was to invade out island and
conquer our army. What has become of
1t? They do not dare to come and meet
the brave Spaniards, knowing full well
that death would be certain to await them
They tried to starve us, but on the con-
trary, they are starving themselves for
bread and meat are higher in New York
than they are in Havana. We have plenty
to eat, while the Yankees have been com
pellcu 10 open Tree soup houses IN ali the
big cities 10 feed their hungry, and the
people die from starvation. No dog even
goes without good food in this capital,
but dogs are better than the dirty Yam
KEGS. Beef costs so cents in New York
ara a loaf of bread % cents. How long
can the shopkeeping Yankees who think
of nothing but dollars, stand that?
They are already sorry that they have
begun war against Spain, but we will give
them cause for deeper regret. 1t will not
be long before our victorious 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.
Already our gallant fleet has lombard
ed the city of Boston and driven the in
habitants of that place INTO the interior,
compelling them TO flee for their lives
This week we move upon New York and
no Yankee ships Will attack US, knowing
full well their inability to cope with the
formidable Spanish navy
-~Already there is tumult and insurrec~
ton among the Yankees because of the.
failure of their arms, and the people are
blaming President Mckinley A military
guard of 1000 soldiers surrounds his pal
ace TO prevent an assassin from reaching
nm. He never goes out, and it is expected
caily that news will be sent out of his
death, so intensely enraged are the People
because they see nothing but defeat in
their war against Spain. Civil war IS
threatened among the United States, and
II may be looked for at any nome nt
The wealthy Yankees of New York and
Philadelphia have barricaded their houses
and armed their servants, fearing both tie
attacks of our forces and the mcabs of their
own people"
