Now that Uncle Sam has draw over

of actual war would not go very far
but as the sum to be appropriated is

amount could be doubled, quadrupled.
or multiplied by any factor desired
and the resources and credit of the

needless and i'll 4conSidered comment.
1t is not likely any priest made such a
statement. and IL he did he said wha,
IS utterly false. The loyalty Of the
Catholics of the United States to their
country's flag has never been, and
never will be, doubted. They have
been often tried and tested, in every

The Colonies oil Spain.

There was time when more land
the nag of any other power waved
above. But as years passed by th"
cruelty. duplicity and corruption II
Spanish masters lost their country most
Of its colonies. We know how the
countries, of Central and South America
threw OFF tho oppressive Spanish yoke
and established independent govern
ments. Spain still possesses a number
Of colonies. however. as the remnant of
her once imperial dominion, and here
we find the most potent reason why she
wishes to avoid conflict with tho
United States.
These possessions include the Canary
Islands. the Philippine Island. Cuba.
Porto Rico. and the Sulu, Caroline anl
Marianne Islands. as we'll as Fernando
Pc and other small islands on the
African coast. The Canaries are not.
strictly speaking, colonies. although
situated off the northwest coast Of
Spain. All these. as we'll as the
Ralearic Islands. of the coast Of
Valencia, would inevitably fan. in cas-
of war, to the power victorious at sea.
and able to spare the comparatively
small force necessary for their occupa
ton In the Balearic Isles and the
Canaries the population is Spanish and
loyal to Spain in the Philippines. as III
cuba and Porto Rico, Spain governs by
force, and the inhabitants. or the ma
jority of them. would doubtless wei
come the expulsion of their Spanish
masters. Therefore, Spain's defeat At
sea would assure the loss of her three
principal colonies and probably also
Of her two insular provinces.
The Philippines are among the richest
islands in the world The islands are
of great extent-about 1l5.000 square
miles-and are luXuriant in tropical
products. They yield, when at peace. a
large revenue to Spain. and are a most
profitable market for Spanish com
merce. Jaran covets them, and should
they he seized by the United States.
Japan would in all likelihood be willing
to pay large sum to have them
handed over to her. The United State;
would probably not care to hold any
other of the insular possessions Of
Spain, except as security for an in
| demnity.
| The loss of the Philippines alone,
| however. would be crushing blow T.
| Spain, and the certainty of that loss
| together With the loss of Cuba, in the
| event of war ought in itself to make
| the rulers of Spain most reluctant to
| provoke in any manner a conflict with
the United States 1t is hard to be
| lieve, therefore, that Spain would fail
to give swift and ample redress for any
| injury done to the American people
| if it shall be proven that the Spanish
| government is responsible for the re-
| cent awful calamity.
