TERENCE MAC SWINEY. Terence MacSwiney in his death, as in his life, gave a clear and lasting demonstration of faith and hope in the final destiny of his country. Spain—which attentively followed the words of this pure and noble man—which watched during those terrible days the agony of the intrepid martyr—which held her breath to record sympathetically the final palpitations of the generous heart—will hold for him always a memory of sincere admiration and esteem. His words, which ever corresponded with his deeds, during that critical period in the history of his country will always find a responsive echo in every Spanish heart.

Y sus palabras, que siempre correspondieron a sus obras, en este momento definitivo para la vida de Irlanda, tienen eco adecuado en los corazones españoles. Así, desde España, pueden devolverse a Irlanda, amorosamente fortalecidas, estas frases del Alcalde de Cork, que tienen para Irlanda actualidad viva: «Me muero soldado de la República Irlandesa». «Sea cual sea la pena a que me condeneis nunca podreis ser dueños de mi destino». «Qu…
