In one cartoon it will be seen, for in- stance, Uncle Sam is represented threatening Spain by sending the ship ‘Maine to Havana, whereupon Spain turns to take revenge and Uncle Sam runs away in the shape of a hog. In another cartoon the American hog is impersonated by Minister Woodford, while the Spanish nation takes the form of a dove with the head of Senor Gullon, the Forelgn Minister. In another cartoon President McKin- Jey is represented as a hog dressed in the stars and stripes, attempting in a treacherous and cowardly manner to stab the Spanish lion through the bars of a cage.
