The Florida star. (Titusville, Fla.) 1880-1917, 1908-11-13

An American who recently passed
through Spain says thar he found ma
lives who thought that America got
w0rsted in 1898 and were inclined to
treat one OF the conquered foe with
ehivalry. There may be something in
the chivalry idea Of it. but perhaps the
true cause for graciousness toward
Americans lies In the fact that the
war was the beginning OF prosperity
for the Spaniards at home. That coun-
try has been least affected by the COM
mercial depression felt throughout
well nigh the entire globe the past
year. Spain has natural resources,
too. and is importing modern ma
chinery to develop them by modern
methods.
The Spaniards can borrow money on
the European markets, but the gen.
eral wealth Of the country is increas-
ing so rapidly that domestic capital
10 available to finance railway and
mining enterprises. For one thing. the
war of. 1898 relieved Spain OF a heavy
money drain for the colonies. which in
her pride she would not abandon and
In her blindness she ruled at a loss.
Bereft by the sword of their prospects
Of plumber in the colonies. the dOns
have put by the trappings of fictitious
splendor and taken up the tools OF
business. So It is the old story OF
stern necessity giving progress a

for doing certain odds and ends on
