On a small house with an arbour, which was on a corner, he saw a sign saying: 'Cafe Espanol'; and went in. THE CAFE ESPANOL. The cafe was dark and completely empty, but at one end there was a balcony where the sun entered. Caesar crossed the cafe and sat down near the balcony. He called several times, and clapped his hands, and a girl appeared. "What do you want?" she asked. "Something to drink.
'No, Espanol, Porto-Rican Americano. His motives are not, however, always of the sincerest, for the boys have learned a trick of saying to the passing Yankee; 'Viva America, and then putting up the forefinger with this half-asked question, 'one cent?"
He lay there making a puddle upon the mattress until what appeared to be the night manager came into his room. "You can speak the Spanish a little," said the man, "Prefiero Ingles porque mi sabio de Espanol esta limitado y despues de viviendo en Korea mis vocabulario esta una mezcla del lenguas." "Where you from?" It was such a simple question and yet he did not know the exact answer.
"Not contented with this, they have raised and rewarded those Peninsulars who in the Philippines, as in Madrid, more cowardly and miserable still, because they abused their position and the protection of those same authorities who signed the treaty, insulted at banquets, assemblies and through the press, with epithets and jokes offensive and vulgar, the patient natives; as happened with the Peninsular Rafael Comenge, the protege and farcical table companion of the Priest, who amongst us performs the duties of the Archbishopric of Manila; the Minister of War has just conceded the said Comenge the grand cross of military merit, for shouting against us and imputing to us every kind of baseness and vices, knowing that he was lying, and for exacting from the gamblers of the Casino Espanol of Manila, as their president; the contribution of 30,000 pesos, to present General Primo de Rivera with a golden statute of that value, and, a curious coincident, this brave was one of the first who escaped from Manila, full of fear when the news arrived there that an American squadron would attack that port and that the risk he would run was real.
You will be doing well to occupy leisure hours with this work; but we are not prepared for printing anything beyond portions at present." In the meantime, however, an article in the Madrid newspaper, El Espanol, upon the history, aims, and achievements of the British and Foreign Bible Society, had determined Borrow to remain on at Madrid for a few weeks at least.
El Liberal and El Pais are Republican, and El Correo Español is Carlist, or clerical. This paper appears to be looked upon a good deal in the nature of a joke by its colleagues, and quotations from it are always accompanied by notes of exclamation.
Two days before the election Caesar went to Cidones and entered the Cafe Espanol. He asked for Uncle Chinaman, and told him that he was the future Deputy. Uncle Chinaman recognized the young man with whom he had talked some months previous in his cafe, he remembered him with pleasure, and received him with great demonstrations. "Man," Caesar said to him, "I want you to do me a favour."
