REMEMBER THE MAINE"
Spanish Captain? General Promoted for Ordering Shooting of American Seamen-U. s. Govern ment "OverIooks" Incident. "Unknown Heroes"

did nothing, and which was an earlier murderous tragedy like the Maine, in a different way.
 Crew Murdered By Spaiards
 We had a good excuse in the case of the Virginius to go to war with Spain, and to have taken Cuba, but we didn't. If public opinion had not forced the hand of the Mckinley administration in the case of the Battleship Maine, we might not have gone to war either probably-not. But If" and but" have a lot to do in shaping the history of the world, and if ever there was war which the people of country, as distin- guished from their political and business leaders, demanded, it was the war which the United States began April 21, 1898.
 To go back to the Virginius: On the 3lst of October, 1873, the Virginius, sailing under American colors and carrying 8 United States registry, was captured on the high seas by the Tornado, a Spanish war vessel, and on the afternoon of the 1st of November taken into the port of Santiago de Cuba. The Spanish commandant, General Burriel, summoned a court-martial, and, in spite of the protests of the American consul, condemned to death at the first sitting four of the passengers General w. A. Ryan, an Irish pa- triot, and three Cubans. They were shot on the morning of Mo- vember 1. On the 7th twelve other passengers were executed despite the protest of the American con- sul, and on the 9th Captain Fry, and his entire American crew, numbering thirty-six, making the total number of executions fifty three, shot in cold blood for no plausible reason. Much diplomat- ic correspondence followed be- tween our government and Spain, which nation promised to court martial General Burriel, but in- stead he was later promoted to be a field marshal in the Spanish army, and he was never brought to justice. Neither American lives or property were safe in Cuba at that time. We had no navy then, and a small army, and Spain knew 1t, but worse was to come, and nothing done about 1t.
