pay his wife 15 cents for the drink. In

fill a drunkard's grave."

The world has no record of cruelty
and inhumanity that equals that of
Spain, towards tbe inhabitants of the
countries it . discovered,: in the New
I World. The Oregonian of yesterday
quoted from- Oliver Cromwell, to prove
how welUhe great commoner under
stood the Spanish character two hun
dred and fifty years ago. How well
the wretched victims of Spanish cruel-:
ty themselves understood this charac
ter more than a century before Crom-"
well's time, is strikingly . Illustrated '
by an Incident that occurred at the?
first invasion of Cuba, under Diego
Valasques as related in Roberteon's
History of the Discovery, and : Settle-
ment of . America,' a work writUa;
about one hundred and -twenty-flva
years ago, Robertson sayst'The . only
obstruction the 8 pan! aids met with
was from Hatuey, a cazique (chlef)who
bad fled from Hisapaalola, (Haytl and
had taken possession of the eastern ex
tremity of Cuba. He stood upon .the -defensive
at their first landing, and
endeavored to drive them back to their ,
ships. . His feeble troops were, how
ever,, soon broken: and. dispersed and :
he himself being taken prisioner, Val
asques . according to the barbarous
maxim of the '.Spaniards, considered -him
as a slave who had taken arms
against his master, and condemned
him to the flames When Hatuey was
fastened to the stake a Franciscan
friar laboring to convert him, ' prom Is-
ed him immediate admittance into the
joys of Heaven if he would embrace .
the christian fahh. ."Are . there - any
Spaniards," says he after, some pause,
"in that region of bliss which you de
scribe?" "Yes;" replied the monk
'but only such aa are worthy and good.
"The beat of them," returned the in
dignant cazique, "have' neither worth'
nor goodness; I will not ge to a place .
where I may meet with one of that .
accursed race." ......
