Several years ago Parks Benja-1 min wrote a story called “The ’ End of New York,” in which he ! showed that after a declaration of war the modem cruisers of the i Spanish navy reduced New York almost to ruins. Very curiously, the name of the Spaniard whose arrest caused the war was Blanco, i This story at the time was much i commented upon, and it did its I sharMowards arousing the country to an appreciation of its de-j fencelessness. A turn in the tale at the end was that while the Spanish admiral was yyaiting for i the $50,000,000 of tribute which he had demanded, the war vessels of; Chili came to the rescue and < drove away- the foe. Sometimes fiction gets to be almost as inter- . esting as truth.
