be the ''most beautiful land ever beheld

the Spanish exterminated with every
horror of torture Since there was no
gold in the island Cuba was neglected
and ignored for many years. But the
Spanish colonized it and ultimately
found that its sugar plantations and to-
bacco fields were more profitable than
gold mines. For two centuries 1t has
proved the most valuable of all Spain's
possessions. Cuba finally grew tired of
being plundered by Spain, and rebellion

the occasion by giving away in aims

returned Spaniard stood at u window

rels of silver coins for the fun of seeing
the rabble scramble for the money. Ma
tional extravaganza kept pace with in
dividual profiigacy, and legitimate bust
ness was lost sight of in speculation.
Spain ruled the most of the world and
snubbed the rest of it. Upon her strength
was founded the national pride which
proved her national weakness.
How Ruin Game.
At her zenith Spain seemed to possess
invincible power. Only one nation dared
to challenge it. That nation was Eng
land. SPANS argosies were successfully
attacked in the south seas. Then came
the destruction of the great armada.
The charm was broken. Spain started
ON the downward path and never stop
ped. Foes developed without and with
in. Under Ferdinand and Isabella be-
gan the ruin of the country which their
successors have completed They drove
the Jews and the Moors out of Spain.
1t is that fact in Spanish history which
accounts for the nations decadence.
The jew and the Moor were traders and
artisans. They constituted the middle
class, and they were the people which
the fanaticism of Isabella and the dark
zeal of Torquemada banished from
Spanish soil When they were gone, the
fires of the inquisition were lighted for
the thinkers, and free thought was al
lowed no foothold under the cross of
CASTLE. When the philosopher, the
scientist, the inventor, had gone, there
remained only the soldier and the peas
ant. From the days of Ferdinand to the
days of Weyler it has been the policy of
Spain to terrorizc her subjects into sub
mission by torture and butchery. From
first to last this policy has been fail
ure.
Early in the sixteenth century the
Netherlands revolted and formed the
United Provinces The sturdy Dutch
men destroyed what remnants remained
of the Spanish navy, and in l643. at
Rocroy, the Spanish infantry, hitherto
invincible, was beaten and forever
broken. Portugal and her vast posses
sions in three continents were lost in
1910. Naples revolted in l64S under
Masaniello. He was assassinated by
braves in the hire Of Spain. and after q
long struggle the rebellion was sup
pressed. But SPANS hold on the two
Sicilies. once loosened. was never so
