What puzzles me is this: If Havana har-
Dor is mined the Spaniards knew it when
the Maine arrived; they knew the Maine
was on a peaceful mission; they knew the
exact location of each mine; they moored
the Maine over mine; (some say moored,
some say anchored; imagine the former
are right; it was their duty to see that the
Maine was moored in a safe spot; if they
moored her over a mine, knowing that the
mine was there, they should be blown
from the muzzles of 16-inch breech-loaders
into a remorseless, unrelenting eternity.
We did our best to protect and safeguard
the Vizcaya; Spain should have shielded
the Maine from all harm. When l think
of these things L feel like fighting.
What puzzles me more is this: The
Maine steamed into Havana harbor with
her decks cleared for action, ready to blow
out of the water or off the dry land any
thing that didn't speak American or walk
Spanish. Though she talked peace, she
looked destructive. Seeing this prepare
ton for red war the Spaniards moored her
over a mine SO that they could blow her
up the instant she dropped a she'll When
the Vizcaya came here were her guns
loaded? Was she anchored over a mine?
Who knows? Who will tell? She could
in the briefest possible time, have de-
stroyed millions of dollars worth of prop
erty had she turned loose her batteries
on this city; could almost have laid us in
waste before We could have sunk her And
if she were manned by brave men the Ger
tanty of death would not have deferred
them. When I think of these things !
don't feel so much like fighting, but would
prefer TO arbitrate.
