IS JINGOISM INDEEP.

NOT AFRAID OF AMERICA. 1 Commander of the Warship Commended for Firing on the Ailianca Authorities in No Mood for Apolog z* ing. Key West, Fla., March 20. —La Union ■ Constitutional, a semi-official newspaper at Havana, reviews the allegations in the Ailianca case and opines that if that vessel was really fired upon , the Spanish commander was fully justified. It assumes that there was son ething suspicious about the appearance or movements of the vessel, and that j when the Spanish cruiser proposed to examine her she ran away, and it therei upon fired after her. A part of the newspaper’s assumption is that the steamer did not show her colors when ; called upon to do so. The article then recites the achievements of the Spanish ! navy and proceeds: “Let it be known, then, that our navy i of to-day is the same as that of Le- ; panto, Trafalgar and Callao. It is the same that the Austrian Admiral Tegsthoff pointed out to his officers to be : imitated before sinking the Italian fleet iat Lissa. They are of the same race , and blood as those who fought and fell before San Sebastian on ships that were unprotected: the same who, at Pugalugalon and Melilla, punished the Moors of Mendadan and Riff for their I insults; the same that on board the I Sachez Baraosta in the Alcedo and the ; Santa Maria defied and conquered the , tempests of the ocean, and the same I that during the late naval review received universal admiration. Finally, they are the same men that on sea and I land are unconquerable. It would be I well that the United States should bear i tliis in mind, so that the prestige of that nation may not suffer in the contentions that may arise through adventurers and traitors vzho make war on Spain and her noble sons; and let i that nation remember that the laws of neutrality were made for nations that I know how to respect them.”
