We have al lowed th? destruction ot millions of dol l..r" worth of American property, and the Spanhir.U in Cuba have even arres'.. ed our citizens and put them in their prison. No country ever received more lenient treatment at the hands of any nation that Spain has revived at the hands of the United Suites. I do not think, however, truit Spain can hold! Cuba. I do not think she will ever con. quer the Islands. I believe that Spain will be worn out at the end of the next dry season and that she will have t- Give up the Island."
