PATRIOTIC OUTBURSTS
Asks For Unity of Arms And
Hearts, For Honor.
Madrid, April 18 —The Liberal
this njornina pub iahea wbat ap
pears to be nearly a complete
translation of President McKin
ley’s message to congress on the
Cubm question, printing its sa
liaut pointe in large type Commen
ting on the message. The Liberal
says:
Although the dispatches are ex
tensive, they do not suffice for the
formation of definite conclusions.
The mistranslation of a word or a
phrase would produce a complete*
misunderstanding, and absolute
dependence upon the accuracy of
the first transmission in so serious
an affair would be a grave indis
cretion.
“Nevertheless®, it may be said
that, in a general sense, it affirms
and declares in the name of the
nation the of interference
in Cuba. Whether a definite or
indefinite period is tn ea nt,
and whether it is a
imp'e intimation or a fixed de
cision regarding coming events,
Spain must protest energetically
against the principle, prior to
protesting violently against the
action.
No free people can hesitate to
ieject by all means in its power
a doctrine annulling its person
ality and reducing it to ignoioi
nous tutelage. Consenting to
submit to it would be equivalent
to Spain’s resignation of her
place among European nations.
“America clearly indicates
her Jintention, hitherto veiled
with hypocritical ambiguities.
America considers Spain incap
able of maintaining her sover
eignity it Cuba. We.have put
up with everything; but unless
we ignore our history and con
sider the peninsula on a level
with Paraguay, isolated from
the rest of the world, we cannot
submit to this.”
In conclusion, the Liberal
says : “To avoid it aud to re
store the self-respect due to our
selves, which is more important
than the position of Cuba, it be
comes necessary to unite in one
all Spanish arms and hearts.
Let Madrid, Jet the whole of
Spain, recall what we have 1 een
and wbat we cannot cease to be
while physical and moral laws
forbid the suicide of nations.”
The Impartial heads its lead
ing article: “A Short Truce—
The Squadron to Cuba,” and
says : “There exists today a
complete divorce betweeen the
government and the governed.
This judgment is formed not on
the pnblic demonstrations, but
on the general disgust and sad
ness prevailing. The ministerial
folly cannot go any further, or
the Spanish arms rusting in
Cuba will be freely used in the
Puerta del Sol.”
Continuing, the Imparcial
urges the people to unite and
“demand that the fleet be sent
immediately waters.”
It is often hard to bring a girl
of the periol to a full slip.
