The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-05-14


The St. Joseph (AIo) Herald culls some
interesting items from Spanish newspapers
Of recent date. From FL Heraldo of Mad
rid it quotes this:
All the troops of the Yankees are in the
far western part of the country many
thousand miles from the Atlantic coast
There are only a few thousand men ali
tod. and they are ill-paid and not willing
to fight. To utilize this force it will be ne
cessary 10 bring 1t to 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 road passes over Niagara Falls. a cat
aract 1000 feet high near Labrador. At
last accounts the bridge at this place was
in very dangerous condition. Ii need sur
prise none to hear that some agency had
made it still more So 1t would serve the
hateful pigs of Yankees right if their mis-
cradle army was thus drowned"
In another part of the same paper a cor
respondent suggests that the Spanish fleet
make quick run from Cadiz to the
American shore-which he says could be
done in four days-and lombard "Ckica-
GO Chicago and other seaports
The Diario, another Spanish newspaper
evidently similar to our yellow" Jour-
nals-issued an extra with the following
statement: ''The yangee presidente Mag
glnly committed suicide for fear that the
Spanish fleet would capture New York -
The next day it corrected this, saying that
ne died from wounds inflicted by a brave
Spaniard. The Diario also distinguished
itself by publishing biographical sketch
of President Mckinley in which it says:
'Magginly is naturalized Chinaman, hav-
ing been born at Canton" This, mark you.
is not an attempt at humor on the part of
the Diario, but is meant seriously
The impartial under date of April 20,
publishes the following dispatch from Ha-
Vana:
Word has just been received here that
the Indians are rising against the Yankees
in Illinois. Ohio and other places. The far
mers are petitioning the government to
protect them from the bloodthirsty saw
ages, who are burning houses and killing
on every side. Troops are asked for at Col
orado, in the state of Denver and at ST.
Louis (San Luis, in Missipa"
In the same issue the impartial also
says:
we have repeatedly called attention to
the fact that the Americans are ignorant
swine who cannot take care of themselves
under any circumstances. That they are
imbeciles is shown by the fact that at
Philadelphia the other day boiler burst
in cigar factory and killed twenty-sev-
en- people. And these are the people who
dare to defy and insult the Spanlards
with centuries Of chivalry and warlike his
tory at their backs"
FL Pals, another great journal of Mad
rid, recently said, editorially:
1T is pitiful to see what children what
weaklings the Americans are. They are
as unable to care for themselves as in
fants in arms. Yesterday there We're no
less than two railway accidents in Amer
lea the total victims being six. They are
ignorant of the use Of steam and their tel
egraph po.es are continually blowing
down"
Specializing upon what Spain should do
with the United States when she has con-
quered this nation, Ell Pals says:
The country is not fit to live in. The
climate is eXecrable. When it is not
sleeting or showing, the heat is almost un-
bearabe. 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 east
ern coast, the remainder of the country is
one vast plain covered with Indians call
ed cowboys and great herds of roaming
CATTLE
In one of the recent issues Ell Eeraldo
says:
News is brouht to us that Buffalo Bill,
notorious outlaw and leader of a band
OF half breeds, has arisen against The
American government and is burning
towns near his birthplace in New York -
These references are all a serious vein
to the Spaniards. They are not sarcasm.
they are not humorous, they are published
as actual facts so far as the Spanish ed
TORS know them. To us they are extreme
ly ludcrous, but they manifest the ig-
norance of the people and the base in
huence that a gagged press under the
power of scheming and corrupt statesmen
and military leaders, exerts upon the pub
lie of Spain. They are much like our
yellow" journals in the publication cf
Pigments of the Imagination that has run
mad.
