IL Was the Cause of Great War
Lasting Three Years.
New York, April BIN "a speech deliv-
cred tonight at banquet given by the
Montaak Club OF Brooklyn, in celebration
of his birthday. Chauncey M. Depew re-
lated the following incident In Spanish his
tory:
Spanish history presents the interesting
condition that she has never been conquer
ed by an army invasion, and, with the ex-
ception of Cortes and Pizarro in the new
world, has rarely, II ever. succeeded in her
foreign wars Her eighty-three years of
contest in the Netherlands ended In defeat,
and her famous armada was lost In the
British channel. Her contests with her coli
onies have always ended in disaster. Her
wars have been frequent, and in most OF
them for aggression or oppression.
"A curious incident in her history Illus
trates that war seldom settles anything.
and especially illustrates that any nation
which goes to war should be sure that the
facts upon which 1t bases It's action are
lmpregnable. When Walpoie was prime
minister OF Great Britain, its relations
with Srain were strained on the question
of right of search upon the ocean. Capt
Jenkins, who was master of an English
schooner, arriving home reported that
while near the coast OF Cuba he was cap
tured by a Spanish cruiser; that the
Spaniards cut off one of his ears, and
then let him go with his ship. jenkins
had carried this ear around for-som years
wrapped up IN cotton to exhibit to audi
ences. The House of Commons took up
the matter, and Capt. jenkins testified be-
fore its committee that, when his ear was
cut off, he commended his soul 20 God and
his cause 90 his country. The phrase took
like wildhre, and all England was In a
blaze. The Spaniards vigorously de-
MED any knowledge OF or
connection with Jenkins or
his ear Wapole. the prime minister. did
his best to allay the excitement, to have
the matter further investigated, and to
settle the trouble by diplomacy. Burke

Ear Parliament, however, by an over
whelmsng vote, promptly declared war
against Spain. The war ragged for tnrs-
years. IL cost thousands OF lives, de-
stoyed millions of dollars OF property, and
added millions TO The national debt, upon
which che people OF England have been
paying interest ever since. Peace was
finally concluded by the combined efforts
Of all the nations OF Europe. Then WAL
