The women who are lighting for the Cuban cause are not the first women who have fought tbe Spaniards in battle. During the iniquitous oppression of the Netherlands by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century it waa no uncommon event fur women to fight In defense of their native town. When In 1572 Don Frederick, at the head of a large army, besieged Haarlem, among the garrison that defended the town were three hundred women, a moat efficient corps, says Morley, armed with swonl, musket and dagger. Their chief, Kenau F 'selaer, wax a widow of dlatlnguleheu family, and unblemished reputation, about 47 years of age, who, at tbe head of her amaxona, participated in many of the fiercest contested actions of the siege. Seven years later, at the elege of Maastricht, the women were of great assistance In making mines, enrolling themselves into companies under the direction of o Ulcers, or mine mistresses. as they were called. The service they rendered was Inestimahle. At the repulse of the Spaniards from the walls of Alkmaar, women and even children exhibited a like courage, assisting their husbands and fathers In the desperate defense, while at Antwerp multitudes of women of all ranks were at work upon the lines marked out by the engineer. History. Indeed, gives many examples of such heroism, among which may be mentioned the brave conduct of the women at the defense of Sarragossa, In 1US, when they took the place of their slain husbands or brothers at the cannon side.
