Spain possesses a soldier and statesman of marked ability. who tempers justice with mercy to a large extent. With the exception of iron mining. nearly every industry on the island is going rapidly to destruction. and nothing but a sudden termination of the war can prevent the island from becoming a waste that will require many years to repair.
