BOMBARDMENT OF MATANZAS.

New York, April ga dispatch to
the World from Rome says: Signor
Grispi, being asked what would be the
result of the American Spanish war,
answered emphatically:
at is the end of Spain. regret, as
do all Italians, that our Latin sister
has allowed herself to be drawn into
such an impasse, from which can as
sure you she cannot escape without
great injury"
The interviewer suggested to the
former premier that he was very severe
on valiant Spain.
"Valiant, chivalrous, yes" he replied,
but those are virtues Of the middle
ages as understood by the grandees of
Spain. In our nineteenth century
initiative is necessary "a practical
spirit in which the Spaniard is abso-
lutely wanting.
"They have committed monstrOus
sins, for which she is now paying. l
do not say the Americans have any
right to interfere in the affair Of Cuba,
but the Spaniards certainly have shown
themselves cruel, barbarous and incap-
able Of governing the pearl of the
Antilles. In one way or another they
will lose that beautiful colony"
