spain's Long Record Of Unrepentsd
Treachery and Cruelty.


Treachery and Cruelty.
Boston. April 15-The Globe contains
the following: Spain stands convicted
today Of an awful deed, not on the tes-
timony Of eye witnesses. to be sure, but
men are hanged. even In Massachusetts,.
on presumptive evidence far less COM
pIete than that which, fixes upon her
the responsibility for the destruction OF
the Maine and the massacre OF its
crew. That she alone among the ma
tlons Of christendom has the desperation
required for the preparation OF such
crime her long record Of unrepented
treachery and cruelty attests; that her
officials at Havana viewed her coming
with angry Resentment their protests
declare. and that the opportunity to
plant and explode a submarine mine In
that harbor was exclusively hers Is
fact established before the world"
According to The Advertiser. "the
Spanish tendency has been seen plainly
enough in the policy of Spain In Cuba.
After the 1o-years' war In that unhappy
island. the Spanish government promised
to bring about certain reforms. The
promise was not kept. Years passed by
and the delay was so long-continued
that the promise was practically for
gotten. Things grew worse and worse.
until finally IL became plain to a great
body of the Cubans that the only way
to secure any reform whatever was to
win 1t at the point Of the sword. II
Spain had made a determined and res
olute effort. the rebellion could have
been crushed out at It's beginning: but
the policy of the Spanish war office was
marked by the same devotion to the ma
tional motto tomorrow
The Post has 1t that when congress
has spoken there will be presented to
Spain the last chance that that gov
ernment will have to extricate itself
from the Cuban tansae. 1t will have a
chance to let Cuba go in peace and to
receive very tidy sum of purchase
money In compensation: or II can Tight
to keep Cuba. and pay roundly in the
shape Of a war indemnity after that ISL
and has been taken away and made
free"
In scoring those Americans who have
no faith In a republican form OF govern
ment, The Journal says: They put the
interest of the few above the instinct and
the set purpose Of the multitude. When
their pockets are touched or their opin-
ions are sighted. every theory Of gov
ernment which they avow tends straight
TO absolute monarchy. They condemn
and deride the popular will when ex-
pressed by the only means which the
constitution provides. They denounce
the congress OF the United States as un-
worthy of respect and UNIT to carry out
the affairs of the country They long
for an autocratic power. isolated from
the great body OF the people and open
only to the influence of the select. These
are the things which mark the changes
from republicanism TO absolutism."
