The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-05-18

The Spanish complaint that the Ameri-
cans do not give notice when they shell
a fertilization reminds us that the Span
tards used to be always complaining that
the insurgents under Maceo and Gomez
would not fight fair, but keep falling upon
ahem at unexpected places.

The Victims of WeyIerism.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem)

The saddest news of the war is contained
in the hints that come now and then from
the Interior of Cuba as to the fate of the
reconcentradoes. These wretched non
combatants, for whom neither the Span
iards nor the insurgents have shown any
consideration, are now cut off from all
hope of immediate succor by the hard ne
cessities of war and are dying of starva-
ton by thousands. The fate imposed upon
these Vretched people is one of the most
horrible crimes of the century.

In the pronunciation of Curacao the
FIRST is hard like k, the second Is soft
like s, while tie final a Is discarded al
together. There are several queer things
about Curacao, including the unfriendly
action of the Dutch government in per-
hitting Spain to use the island as a base
Of supplies.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Our Position Among Nations.
From the Washington Star Dem.) }.

We are asking assistance of nobody
We feel amply able to paddle our own
canoe. But we shall note all develop
ments and remember them. If old
friends desert us, we shall know 1t. If
old enemies come to our side we shall
know that. And OF one thing there is this
positive assurance: We shall emerge from
this war more to be desired as a friend,
and more to be respected as an enemy,
than ever ebfore in our history
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-05-18

1t appears that this is one season in
which snake stories will have to give
place to mule stories from Matanzas and
other points in Cuba.

II begins to look as If Fitzhugh Lee
would shortly have the pleasure of pre-
senting his compliments to Capt. Gen.
Blanco upon the point of a bayonet
Bianco win then not be too busy to pay
attention to what Lee has to say.
