Those persons who have been spend?
ing the greater portion of their time in
studying ways and means by which the
distinguished approbation and affection
of General Ramony Blanco might be
gained for the American people and for
American things, will be pained and
grieved to read the following harsh and
cruel Interview, which that courteous
gentleman and bold warrior cheerily
"smashed" out of his long-suffering
but uncomplaining typewriter a few
days ago:
"I am naturally inclined to be chari?
table, but I must confess to a feeling of
deep resentment against the United
Stales, whose conduct toward Spain in
declaring war against us. without mo?
tive or pretext. Just at the time when
they were receiving from us the high?
est marks of our frieudshlp and respect
can never be condemned too severely.
"It ought never to be forgotten that
Jttst when the United States were an?
nouncing their intention of coming to
Cuba to establish a firm government
they were in reality directing hostili?
ties, principally against Porto Rico and
the Philippines.
"Since the beginning of this war it
has always been my heartfelt desire as
commander-in-chief of the army for the
day to arrive when I could match my
armed strength against theirs and die.
if necessary, among the ruins of
Havana if fortune were not favorable,
but I was unable to realize my hope. My
government has signed the peace pro?
tocol and her decision must be complied
with. Nevertheless. T have an eternal
confidence In divine justice, and I have,
therefore, hope that this arrogant na?
tion ?<il! receive its just deserts, and
God-knows that the day when this act
of national despoliation is accomplished
and the stars and stripes float from the
walls of Havana, that day w ill per?
haps, mark the beginning of the decay
of the. American nation."
Undoubtedly the brave General was
not alone in his desire to go out and face
the American "pig" on the field of
$lie- is quite probable that a number
Of loyal and straight shooting followers
of the Stars and Stripes would have
welcomed such a consumation with as
much delight as they would have muni,
fested at the juxtaposition of the pay?
master.
That, however, is not germane to the
principal proposition. Blanco has a
feeling <j>f deep resentment against us,
and we are drooping and pining away
over the dreadful realization of the
fact. It is lo be hoped that he has not
cast us < ff for all time. If he will only
