THE SPANIARD.
A Wsnan's AnaIysls Of The Character Of
the People We are Nov Fighting.

Everybody is more or less in
terested in everything pertaining
to Spain and the Spaniards now.
a.days. The average American
sums up Spanish character in one
word, treacherous. IL is not I'M
interesting to note at the nom,
emit the ueprejudiced analysis Of
Spanish character that Frances
Elliot made in her DIARY of an
Idle Woman in Spain, " published
in 1884. It is as follows (:
"In Spain you must learn to
wait. The first word heard at
Irun was .manana" Tomorrow
in everybody's mouth. Manana,
manana-no use to hurry need
less to reproach; ridiculous TO
scold; dangerous to swear. Time
is made for slaves. Now. your
Spanlard may be poor, starving
even, but he is no slave. Time
is his property, and he will en-
force his rights to it.
Spanish pride is proverbial.
1t has one good side, which re-
suits in every man thinking him
self a gentleman. You speak to
your servant. to a shopman, to
an artisan, as to an equal. Even
a troublesome beggar is address
ed as brother and adjured in the
name of God 10 remove himself
out of the way all, including the
beggar, replying with equal cour-
tesy and respect. People may
draw knives and kill each other,
but their language is polite; they
only wrangle and call names in
the cortes. All this is so singu-
lar, so thoroughly national, l
quite despair of making it com
prehensible; it is the manner of
a people who respect themselves,
and by the action of this feeling
impose respect on others.
1T is also true that the pride
of the Spaniard blinds him to the
he thinks or affects
TO think his country is still the
first in Europe, and, passing with
a flowing brush over the political
insigniticance into which Spain
has fallen for centuries, goes
back in fancy to the glorious days
when the red and yellow flags
waved over two hemispheres,
and her fleet ruled the worlds
seas. AndAs to the history of
the past, which is at the bottom
IF these Authorizations, every
one knows it. Not educated men
merely, but the boy who cleans
your shoes, the porter who car

With his striped scarf, who tills
The ground, the water carrier,

1t Is said some members Of the Cabinet recon-
mended further delay simply to observe the
practical effect Of the armistioe. but they were
outvote1 by the majority. who thought the
President had waited long enough.

The first Cabinet meeting adjourned about 40
o'clock. The members were reticent when asked
as to the questions discussed at the meeting.

been strongly conservative and pacific. said that
the new information at hand did not in any i'm

seemed to be practical unanimiiy among the
members that the development should not
have any influence with the President in de-
ferring the sending Of the message to Congress

President.
