AN exchange IN speaking of the
misplaced honor and bravery un-
der which Spain is fighting, says:
I'm most European Journals
and even in some American news
papers we frequently see the dec
iaration that Spain has vindicated
her homer aud demonstrated her
bravery by sacrificing her soldiers
and sailors which she knew to be
hopeless. This is SAID because on all
sides, even by the Spanish govern
ment itself, the defeat of Spain is
recognized as now complete and
irretrievable. Nothing remains
to Spain save bombast. What
honor is therein throwing away
the lives of thousands of con-
scripts, taken from their homes
and driven like slaves to the bat
tlefield. when those who order the
sacrifice know that it is vain, and
that the result of the war is deter
mined already beyond the posi-
sibility of a change? Honor?
1t Is murder. it is butchery !;
1T is the bravado OF a vain and
feeble people; aud merits
for Spain condemnation rather
than glorification or any sympa-
thy whatever. 1t is like an Afri-
can Kings immolating a whole
tribe simply to make show of
his savage authority over life and
death. it is not courage but the
stubbornness o: boastful feeble
ness. Spain will go down to de
feat In dIshonor because she de-
serves 70 be crushed, and is with
out ability to avoid her fate. The
theatrical display of assumed
valor by the sacrifice of her
wretched conscripts oaunoi lessen
dIshonor. 1t is simply an idle
and wanton waste of life to spread
the fiction that vital and Wig
orous health remains i'm her. a
nation which has really gone to
decay"
