STRANGE FACTS ABOUT
THE SPANISH WAR

The st. James's Gazette says: Last
wear we saw the remarkable spectacle
of the Spanish nation suing firm of
Clyde ship-builders for having let them
in for war and incidentally causing
them to lose 100, 900 miles of territory
and some ten million subjects. That, OF
course was not the wording of the
claim. but it came to that. Had they
received in time the four torpedo-boat
destroyers which they had ordered from
the Clyde they would have been able
to suppress the insurrection in Cuba,
have prevented the landing of arms,
and never have been brought into con-
f7ict with the United States. Spain
claimed $780, and the Edinburgh
Court of Session awarded her $500
and interest. But if Spain proved UNI
ready. America was even worse. When
the Maine went down. she carried with
her all Americas supply of ammuni-
ton. There did not remain on board
the American fleet or in the ordnance
depots in the United States two rounds
per gun. That was why negotiations
were protracted. While the diploma
fists were talking peace, men We're
working day and night in secret, turn
ing out munitions of war. When suf-
ficient had been manufactur a sealed
express was raced across America,
taking precedence of every other train.
At San Francisco it transferred its load
to swift steamer, which hastened to
Honolulu there to put its cargo aboard
the Baltimore. The latter passed on to
Hongkong and distributed its store.
Admiral Dewey sailed on April 18th
for Manila, and in the bay on May
Day that ammunition was turned to ac-
count in a manner with which all the
world is familiar
