RADAAAOSOO ODD ° e in War [listory By Albert Payson Terhune Copyright, 1914, by The Pree Publisuing Co, (The New York Evening World), No. 17—SACK OF ANTWERP, That Changed Netherlands History. HE DUKE OF ALVA, commander of Spain's conquering armies, hat made Holland and Belgium one vast shamb!-s, Then, in Antwerp, the Duke erected a mighty citadel, and he garrisoned it with 12,000 German mercenaries and Wailoon: Antwerp was the richest city on earth and one of the strongest. It was “the mar‘:et place of the world’ and the undisputed centre of commerce. oy ‘was also a seat of learning and of art. . Spain had a way of promising far more than she performed. She raleed armies under promise of high wages. Tren she left her treope unpaid. ‘t was this faire to; ~* that caused the sack of Antwerp. In the autumn of 1576 several thousand Spanish soldiers stationed at Alost mutinied. They had not been paid, They were tired of receiving prom- {ses instead of cash. And they determined to pay themselves. ‘ Antwerp, the richest place in all Europe, lay temptingly near, and to Antwerp they marched. The garrison was strong enough to beat off an attack by a force many times larger than the mutineers’. But through treachery or cowardice a pitifully weak resistance was made, The fight that fol- Carnage lowed was hardly worthy the name of “battle.” But tts Plunder. consequences were greater than that of many a far more spectacular confilct, Brushing aside the garrison's defense, the Spaniards burat into the city. crm there from Nov. 8 to Nov. 6 @ ecene of unimaginable horror was @B- acted. Street fighting was followed by wholesale murder, fire and looting end by every black crime on the calendar. Priests were butohered on the altar stone and the sacred treasures of churches and cathedral were plundered. Merchants were killed or were tortured into giving up their wealth. The white marble City Hall (which was known as “the eighth wonéer of the world”) was burned to the ground and its priceless archives were wiped out. Five thousand of the finest mansions and palaces of the elty were gutted of their wealth and were then destroyed by fire. Such art treasures as did not happen to strike the fancy of the victors ‘were cut to pleces-or tossed into the blaze. Women and children and old men were slaughtered for the fun of watching them dle. For three days the massacre continued. At the end of that ttme the dead lay so thick in some streets and equares that the Spaniards could net move about with any comfort. So the mutineers forced the remaining towns- folk to bury some of the victims. As the task proved too slow to suit them, they made the Antwerp burghers toss three thousand of the dead into the River Scheldt. | When the battle and the sack were ended nearly nine thousand of Ant- | werp's citizens and soldiers had been slain. And more than $15,000,000 is money and jewels and other treasure had been seized by the Spaniards. The conquerors suddenly found themselves enormously rich. Their arrears in pay had been made up to them many times over by the pilinge of the city, And they put their new wealth to strange uses. For instance, one private soldier gambled away ten thousand gold pleces {n a single morning. Another, more thrifty, forced an Antwerp goldsmith to fashion his hoard of stolen gold coins into a eult of armor, a sword, scabbard, buckles, &c. All these he painted black, to look like iron, so that he would not be robbed. (When, later, he tried to sell them, he found tie shrewd goldsmith had made them of alloy and had kept for himself most of the gold. The sack ruined Antwerp. It destroyed forever the city’s commercial supremacy, and it changed the Netherlands’ history, It sent more than » 100,000 Belgians into other European countries, ani many, indirectly, to America. The horror of the deed, incidentally, strengthened the Netherlands’ hatred fer » Spain and helped to make possible the efforts of ‘William of Orange to combine his people against Spanish rule. . * : Wit, Wisdom and Philosophy ADVICE.
