Spain Has Reason to be Salts
With the Outcome Of War.

Dr.. Leopoldo Aruud, the Spanish
consul al Chicago, takes an epcourag-
ing view of the result of the conflict
between bis country and the United
States. 'The war;" be says, IVA a
good thing for Spain. The nation bad
been giving its best met md 100000.
900 annually to the wars in progress ln
the Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Rico.
AS result of the recent conflict with
America the powers of Spain are con-
centrated for the couotry's develop.
ment and advancement. In 10 years
the world will Tot recognize the na-
ton" Dr.. Arnud believes his coun-
try is on the way to become zone of the
foremos, powers Of Earopc. !" The
Spanish people, he says. realize that
s.the war with the United States was a
war Of governments, ADD 20 animos''y
exists between the inhsbl.aDta OF the
two countries.
OF course, says the Baltimore
Sac, the average expapslonist will
soof at Dr. Arnua's frank state
ment and will say that his philosophy
is of the '.sour grapes" order. But as
matter of fact Spain is 10 very
much better position than she was
three years ago, aud the loss of Der
colonies has proved an inoalcu!aole
blessing to her. Her young meo we're
oonsorip,ed by thousands every year
and sen. to tropical islands to suodoe
SPANS rebellious subjects Her treas
ury vas exhausted by the maintenance
of large military and naval es'ao-
iishment for service ip the colonies.
The people we're taxed beyond their
capacity to ray. All the profits Of the
colonies went into the purses OF priv
ileeed class. Thousands of young
men who were forced into the army
died of disease 10 Cuba and toe Philip
pines. For these sacrifices there vas
90 adequate return. The people OF
Spain we're impoverished AID their
country was fast taxing its place among
tbo dying nations" of the world
Today Spain is without colony of
any importance. Her barden has been
transferred to the United States. AT

power-as ooe time the greatest 10 the

ergies to Der owu development. The
