AMERICA AS HE SAW IT.
Home of'the Funny Things the Captain 01
the Caravels Said.
A copyeof “La Epoca." a newpaper of
Madrid. has been received in New York
which contains the address recently de-
livered before the Geographical Society
of that city by Captain} Concas, of the
Spanish Navy, in which he commenced
on the people of this country in a. man.
nor for which he was compelled to apolo-
gize by Prime Minister Canovas del
Castillo, to whom United States Minis-
ter Taylor complained. Tnese are some
of the remarks objected to by Minister
Taylor: ‘1
The climate of the United States has
such effect on its people that the third
generation, without .mingling with the
Indians, have the same shaped skulls as
the Indians.”
“The development of the United
States is due only to the unity of the
race and ‘high salaries.’ They care
only for the mighty dollar, and do not
care to represent anything in the world’s
history.”
“The politicians and administration
are the most immoral in the world, and
at banquets no one cares to sit next to
a, politician or amember of the adminis-
tration.” _
The belligerent Captain commanded
one of the caravels which came to this
country during the Columbian celebra-
tion, and of the things he saw at a nor-
mal college and at West Point he said:
“In the normal college I saw 4,000
strong girls working as carpenters. At
West Point the cadets were locked in
cells, studying mathematics and spend
ing their spare moments in caring for
their linen. They were even afraid to
drill in the presence of my staff and
myself.”
Captain Concas concluded with these
words:
“In the United States the people are
neither well instructed nor ignorant.
and are only half cultured. The Uhited
States is not America, but should be
