SPAIN AND JACKSON.
Our First War With Spain.


Just eighty years ago this spring we
had war with Spain. Or rather,
Andrew Jackson. Old Hickory, had
a war with Spain.
He was soldier and president
more than In name.
A lot of morderous Creek Indians
fled into Spanish Territory In West
Florida. Billy Bowlegs, well
known desperate commanded them.
The Spanish attitude was regret
ful; but the indians went on killing
Americans. Really, said the Span.
iards, these savages are so strong
and willy that we can do nothing.
Then Andrew Jackson came. He
had choice of TIVE courses--to follow
the recognized International code of
protest by post to Washing or settle
il himself.
Jackson cared little for diplomacy.
He wIote to our Government
al Washingto just what he proposed
to do. Then, without waiting for a
reply, he marched over the border
into the sacred territory of Spain at
the head of an army that knew no
other duty than obedience to Jack
son.
He made straight for the nearest
Spanish fort-St Marks and took
1t.
The Spanish were dumfounded.
The leader hurried forward IA long
reply In Spanish, the substance O
which was that he would write to
his Government and see whether
it wished him to let Jackson pursue
the proposed course.
That Is, he said to Jackson. "Wait
six months or year."
Jackson couldn't read Spanish so
he fioated the American flag.
He proceeded to chastise TIM Indi-
ans and had his usual success. But
he found the Spanish interfering to
save the Indians from Jacksonlan
pacification." A lot OF Spaniards
killed one America named Stokes,

once levied war agains Spain. Says

Barrancas until il fell, scared into
submission.
Spain was powerless beneath the
heel OF Jackson. Her savage allies
soon yielded to Jackson's sharp.
shooters. The real war with SPAN
was over.
But the diplomatic war, had TO fol

The present week, in al proba-
bility, will see the elimination of
important developements offecting
the attitude of the United States
toward Spain and Cuba. First will
come the report of the American
naval court of inquiry on the des-
truction of the battle ship Maine in
Havana harbor on the night OF Feb
ruary 15 last. Whatever the nature
of this report, it will be commun
icated to Congress at the earliest
possible moment. President Nc.
Kinley recognizes the right of Con-
gress to the possession of this in
formation without delay and more
over, desires that body to share
with him the responsibilities of any
action that may follow.
A message will accompany the
Maine report, and it is believed that
soon thereafter the Cuban question
proper will be presented to Congress
by the transmission of the delayed
reports Of our Consuls in Cuba,
showing a condition of wretchedness
on the island that has already been
so graphically described by Senator
Proctor. With these reports there
will be a momentous recommendation
! The consensus Of opinion is that
this will be that the independence
of Cuba be recognized. Such a re-
comendation Congress would
promptly indorse. This, in itself,
would not necessarily mean war but
the complications it would produce
would unquestionably precipitate a
crisis most acute in character, and
one that might easily lead to con-
fict. The opinion is still held by
Republican leaders of both the SEN
ate and House, however, that war
will be averted. In fact, prominent
officials of the government have all
along recognized but one contin.
gency that would inevitably produce
war, and that is proof of Spanish
official completely in the destruction
of the Maine-a contingency not
not looked for by any one.
If recognition of Cuban indepen.
dence should be viewed hostile act,
this country will be prepared to de-
fend its position. The recognition
of independence would mean for the
Cubans an opportunity to float their
bonds, to secure arms and supplies,
and to enlist volunteers. 1t is the
programme that has been previously
outlined in The Post, and it is the
policy which will don nbtless be Dur-
sued.
WILL NOT PLACE RESPONSIBILITY.
While the report on the Maine dis
aster has not yet been received in
Washington, there is every reason to
believe that when it is finally made
public it will meet popular expec.
tation in showing that the explosion
was due to external causes, and that
the responsibility for the act cannot
be placed. This is really what has
been anticipated, and it is what the
report will show. The nature of the
verdict will, it is believed, necesitate
a demand upon Spain for an in
demnity, and this demand will be
promptly and vigorously made. 1t
will be met by counter-claim from
Spain to the effect that the verdict
OF an expert board of United States
naval officers is not sufficient to war
rant the payment of the demand,
especially when the Spanish naval
court finds that the explosion was
accidental; arbitration will, therefore
be asked. 1t is probable that when
this point is reached the President
will ask Congress to decide, as The

These wholesale butcheries came to
be social events. and lent a pleasant
variety to the otherwise rather monot-
Cnous life of the Spanish official class.

volt broke out. Gen. Emilio Aguin-

and the fight was on i'm earnest. A So
called '"Tagal Republic was created.
of which Andres Bonifacio was made
president.
The Spaniards showed no quarter to
those of the rebels who fell into their
hands. and the rebels were no more
merciful to their captors. 1t was from
the first a bitter race war of extermi-
nation. The natives have fought with
extraordinary courage and determina-
tion, inspired as they are by the pres
ence of their wives n daughters, who
are with them i'm their camps. Many of
these women lake an active part i'm all
engagements and go into battle side by
side with the men.

In 1884 the great cathedral at Manila

in 1860. there was a grea; earthquake

over seven thousand persons are esti-

cation with Washington. The cable that
was cut at Cienfuegos was only the
coast cable running from Santiago to
Havana.
The strategic advantage Of control
ing cables is well illustrated in the
cases of Manila and Cuba. Spain not
only got the earlier information from
these points, which is an inestimable
advantage in war. but she was able To
send out news colored to suit her pur-
poses. This was so especially in Ma
Mia, from which no word of news
reached Europe that was not put out
by the Spanish officials.

Ing OF Cervera's presence at the French
colony was by a second cable that runs
from Martinique to Hayti without
touching Porto Rico.
IL VIII be no more possible for the
United States to cut off SPANS cable
connections than for Spain to cut ours.
Spain can always keep up communica-
tion through Portugal and France. OF
course If we attack the Canary islands
we will do some cutting If we cannot
land, and thus get control of the cables
there. BY means of that cable which
goes on to South America. our fleet
could communicate with Washington.
The only cables that Spain may at
tempt TO cut are those from the West
Indies. These are the cables of the
Western Union which connect Key
