majesty also received a delegation repre
senting the students of German universities.
The address to the emperor was made by
Cuno Pleral , a law student of the Berlin
university. The only drawback wna a slight
fall of rain , but this did not , dampen the
enthusiasm of tbo masses to any great ex
tent. There were many manifestations of
genuine heartfelt patriotism at the numer
ous fetes , especially at the different schools
and colleges , universities and public offices.
AT THH TOWN HALL.
At the town hall Mayor Belle made a
suitable speech and was warmly applauded.
The building was gaily decorated with flags

now that the German empire has become a
great world-wide , empire. "
In conclusion , Emperor William paid it
was the du-ty of the Ilelchstag to support
Its emperor. That all ho had promised dur
ing the gathering In the White hall In the
morning could be cirried Into effect If the
mcmbeis would support him In confidence.
"Ho then drank to the prosperity of the cm-
plro and expressed a wl&b that It might be
ofprolongod on the lines laid down by iEm-
poror William I.Tho ' , greatest enthusiasm
prevailed as all 'tio ) guests of the ovennlg
joined wllh the emperor In drinking to the
prosperity of the fatherland.
SENTIMENT STILL ANTI-ENGLISH.
All Enropw Comb I tied , AKiiliiHfl , ltn
Colonial 1'oIIny.
( CopyrlBht , 18 tt , by the Associated Press. )
BERLIN , Jan. IS. The week has ended
With every ono'o thoughts directed to tbo Im
perial anniversary. The excitement caused
.by the Transvaal incident Is gradually abat
ing and the newspapers uniformly express
the opinion that this difficulty will bo ad
justed by diplomacy , although there may be
critical t'tageD In the negotiations. The anti-
Engllsh spirit , however , which was aroused
by the Invasion of the Boer republic sur
vives with full vigor , niul It Is significant
that those In political circles who are In
touch with the government have the Idea
that an open anti-English policy will hence
forth ba followed by Germany , especially In
colonial affairs.
A conservative leader , discussing the re
cent complications , said that In n conversa
tion which ho had with the emperor the
latter said ho had put himself at the head
oC a united European coalition against Great
Britain , and that the threat of the latter to
join the Zwelbund ( the eo-called alliance be
tween Russia and France ) was laughable ,
elnce both these countries stand closer to
Germany today than Grelt Brlttln does to
them. Great Britain's Interest In no part
of the world , his majesty IB slid to have
continued , would tally with those of Russia
and Franco. Besides , with the uncertain
tenure of power upon the part of English
cabinets and the shifting of party life In
England , it would bo folly to attempt a bind
ing entente with that conntiy. Tills fact , It
was added , has repeatedly been assigned by
the representatives of Grunt Britain as the
reason for her not Joining the Drelbund , and
It was further asserted tbo came reason
.work ] both ways.
AROUSED GERMAN INDIGNATION.
The Indignation aroused In German by the
statement published In the English news
papers that the emperor wrote a sort of ex
cuse of his recent Transvaal attitude to his
grandmother , Queen Victoria , Is easily
imagined. The German government newspapers -
papers have frequently denied the stito-
incnt during the last few days , although It
Is not denied that letters have passed be
tween his majesty and the queen. But
a count official , who li In dilly communication
with the emperor. Is authority for the as-
oortlon that his majesty expressed regret ,
but not for having rent his memorable dis
patch to President Krueger It wm for the
manner In which It was received and com
mented upon In Greut Britain.
The oleomargarine nnd Kanltz bills In the
ftolchctag both touch American Interests
Count Polblelskl's chief argument against
the oleomargarine bill was that s loir Ino nnd
cottonseed oil are Imported largely from
America to adulterate oleomargarine , thus
rendering It unlit for food. He therefore
urged that a heavy Import duty bo placed
upon It. While discussing the Kanltz gov
ernment grain monopoly bill , several of tbo
agrarian speakers dwelt upon tlio Impos-
L'lbllty of competing \\lth the products of
American cheap land , and demanded gov
ernment protection.
This year's army maneuvers will bear n
much closer resemblance to actual war than
formerly. No festivities will be held , and
each army will bo wholly under the direc
tion of Us chief. No foreign prlnrcs will b ?
pri'Eont.
Judge Brauswctler , the most severe and
reactionary of all the Berlin judges , and who
has aroused much adverse comment by his
Conduct of polltlc.il trials and eubiequent
( lontcncos , has become Inrano , and Is con
fined In an asylum. Efforts are being made
to have wine of his wont sentences set

LONDON , Jan. 13. Although throughout
the week Great Urltaln has echoed with war
preraralknsand Knglihmen every h ro htvo
noticed with pride the remarkably i-hort
tlmo In which the flying squ-idron of war
ships vas commissioned and made ready for
sea , there sccmu to bo les ? prospect of war
now than at any tlmo slnco the clouds of
the Tranevaal discord first began to bother
the statesmen of Ruropo. Hut the war
clouds hnvo In no way Intorforred with the
festivities at Osborne house , Iflo of Wright ,
where the queen Is staying , nnd the ex
tremely mild weather has tended to heighten
the enjoyment of these who have composed
the royal party.
Mr. A. n. Walker's cutter Allw , built
fcr a passible cup challenger , Is having her
spara and sail area reduced. In addition
several tons of lead are being taken off her
lead keel , with the vlow of lightening her
generally. Mr. A. D. Cork's cutter Satanlta
Is also having her spars cut down , her sail
area reduced nnd the amount of lead for her
keel diminished.
Some of the statements In the press re
garding Lord Sholto Douglass , son of the
nnrquls of CJueensberry , who married
Lorctta Addis , an actress of California , have
produced a remarkable letter from the mar-
quln. Ho says ho allowed Lord Sholto 300
yearly , as ho did all his younger brothers.
Ho added : "If my sons go to distant lands
and cheese music hall singers without my
leave , they must take the consequences. "
OLD MAI'S GOOD ENOUGH.
Recent statements have appeared In tbo
London papers claiming the foreign office- was
preparing elabiMte maps and a lengthy re
port on all phases of the Venezuelan ques
tion. In regard to Us statement , a high official
at the foreign ofilce sMted to a reporter of the
Associated pretra : "We are not preparing
any now or special maps , for wo are satisfied
with thot'O now In use. The statement now
largely circulated Is made out of whole
clcth. While Lord Salisbury has not yet
authorized us to announce the fact , wo may
say be Is preparing a full report of the
whole matter , which will undoubtedly be
submitted to Parliament soon after It as
sembles on February 11. "
When asked about the cable dispatches ,
etc.yhlch the Dally Chronicle has been pub
lishing , from Washington , the foreign oOlclal
remarked : "We are Inclined to think the
letters referred to are certain documents' re
lating to the matter which were published
In Paris some years ago at the Instigation
of the Venezuelan government. As stated
some time ago to the Associated press , they
do not cover the entire ground , as they seem
to be only extracts taken at random here
a-nd there. While they are undoubtedly au
thentic , so far as they go , they do not have
tlio niiMinntlpltv nf li lnir accented bv the
British government ns determinate In tbo
matter. "
The United States ambassador , Mr. Thomas
P. Bayard , was asked If he had any official
information that Lord Salisbury was pre
paring a report on the Venezuela question.
The ambassador replied : "I hive- nothing of
ficially on the matter , but have , of course ,
heard It intimated that such was the fact.
I am heartily glad to know It Is so , as It will
undoubtedly tend to expedite matters. "
' i PATRIOTISM STILL ON TAP.
The tp'rlt of patriotism which was aroused
by the German emperor's' letter to Presi
dent Krueger continues to manifest Itself In
various ways and at the theaters any allu-
slou to Germany Is received with groans by
the gallery and pit , while the national an
them , "God Save the Queen , " which con
cludes every performance at most of the
theaters , Is received with cheers and a uni
versal raising of hats by the dispersing au
dience , In decided contrast to the careless
ness with which It was generally received
a few weeks ago. While this hostility to
Germany Is everywhere shown , quite the
rovcrso has been the case In regard to the
United States , even at ths height of the dif
ficulty over the Venezuelan matter.
The principal attractions at the theaters are
the plays now running at the Lyric , the St.
Jameg and the Shaftesbury. At the former
Wilson Barrett's four-act play , "Tho Sign
of the Cross , " continues to draw enormous
houses.
All swelldom continues to praise Mrs. Beer-
bohm Troo's acting In "A Woman's Reason"
at the Shaftesbury , while George Alexander ,
at the St. James , has In "The prisoner of
Zenda" secured the greatest success since he
produced "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray. "
Although the pantomimes have only been
running a few weeks , the managers of this
popular form of entertainment are casting
about for next year's productions.
C. J" . Mnnsford , a young writer whoso
serial"stories nf adventure vie with the most
In-aginative efforts of Rider Haggard , has

probably bo the ultimate successor of "A
Woman's Reason , " when that drama shows
signs of waning popularity.
Messrs. Cartwilght nnd Dana , who were
so successful with the military drama ,
"Tommy Atkins , " will shortly produce a new
three-act comedy entitled "Tho Fool of the-
Family , " by Fergus Hume.
The Carl Rosa company's season of Eng
lish opera will open at Daly's theater next
Monday. Among thn novelties to bo pro
duced are "The Heart of Midlothian" ( the
llmetto by Joseph Bennett and the scoreby
Hamlsli McCunn ) , and the Parisian success ,
"La Vlvandlrrle , " written and composed by
the late Benjamin Godard.
It Is generally conceded that "Michael and
Ills .Lost Angel , " which , after Its postpone
ment , was finally produced on Welnesdsy last
at the Lyceum , Is not qulto up to the aver
age of Henry Arthur Jones' former produc
tions , either In literary merit pr artUtle fin

WASHINGTON , Jan. 18. The announce
ment of the appointment ot General Val-
crlano Weyler na civil captain-general of
Cuba was received at Cuban headquarters
as confirmatory of the view they had al
ready expressed upon the news of Campos'
retirement , that there has been a radical
change In the policy of the Spanish cabinet
and that henceforth there Is to be a reign
of blood and terror In Cuba. The change In
the cabinet Itself , the retirement of the
duke of Tetuan and the succession of
Senor Elbuayen as minister of foreign affair ,
In regarded as still further confirming this
idea.

General Weyler Is a veteran soldier and has
had his own experiences In revolutions , for
ho followed the fortunes of the Spanish army
In Cuba for years during the last revolution ,
with the rank of colonel , nnd earned for
himself < i dreadful reputation as a man of
blood and Iron. Moreover , the Cuban leaders
here hint at actions of cruelty to women
and defenseless prisoners In the past that
augur 111 for the rebels that come within his
power , and they predict that he- will soon
become Involved In trouble with the United
States government as the result of American
rltlzens who may bo unfortunate enough to
fall Into his power. General Weyler quitted
Cuban ground soon after the suppression of
the last rebellion , and has since dwelt In
Spain , holding the Important position of cap
tain general of the province of Catalonia.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. ( Special. ) The
bill which Senator Allen has Introduced
making npproptlatlon to pay the Santee Sioux
Indians -Nebraska and South Dakota for
lands , unpaid' annuities and for other pur
poses hides a ' ' 'story that outrivals , In
dramatic Interest. . 'Ihdse stories which chil
dren have read by James Fennlmoro Cooper
and other writers who have Illumined tlit
literary page of the country's history.
Rome , It Ik said , according to legendary
lore , was saved by the cackling of geese , ani
there are many Instances which sland out
prominently of , dumb brutes precipitating
great conflicts , ns well as by their Instinct
saving nations.
THIs application for Justice to the Santee
Slotix of Nebraska and South Dakota comes
after more than a quarter of a century , when
the animosities .are , almost forgotten and
burled and ns an act of justice for the de
scendants of those Indians who are said to
have participated In that Infamous outbreak
which darkened thp history page of the north
western country the Sioux outbreak of 18C2.
'There ' aresome who take exception to Coop
er's heroes , because they have been too
broadly painted , too heroically outlined , too
untrue to history , and yet as a matter of rec
ord there have been Indians who have stood
for principle , honor and Integrity like unto
the same principle for which the great
ones of earth have fought nnd have died.
Ths present generation knows little , except
In a , most curiory way , of the Sioux outbreak
elf 1SC2 and the' dramatic Incidents leading
up to that outbreak. In the press of greater
affairs these matters have been entirely for
gotten. But Jhst outbreak Is still very vivid
to the old buck "who participated In It , and
who came within on ace of being executed
for tbo rash undertaking.
TELL3 THE STORY AGAIN.
. 'Aa a part pf tbo bill which Senator Allen
has Introduced to recompense the Santee
Sioux , living In Nebraska and South Dakota ,
ho will present In a dayor two affidavits
which tell thp atpry of that outbreak and
show how trivial was the cause of the mas
sacre which resulted.
Robert Hakowa'sto. ' who Is 'a member of the
Mdowakantonwari'lrlbo , of Sioux Indians , for
merly resided'at Redwood Falls , Minn. , but
Is now llvlnc'at the Santee , agency In Ne
braska. In an affidavit which Senator Allen
will present to accompany his bill for the
relief of the SHntCes , Hakewastb says that he
recollects tlte.'lreaty of 1851 , entered Into be
tween the TWIfCd , States Government and the
trlbo of SloVix Indians of the name above. In
which he , was , a party to the agreement.
After the asceernclit , or treaty , was ratified ,
ho says ho fecfilvfed an annuity of $20 , which
was paid to all members of his trlbo and the
Wahpokutc , another branch of the Sioux , for
eight years , * ' Until the outbreak occurred.
According toitliEs man's statement the out
break was realised by four young men. One
of these youngtmen waa a distant relative of
his , Kaomdenlycyedan by name , who told his
relative , HaltdftSistc , about 'this outbreak ,
thdt ls a flt orflpanlon piece for any bit of
realistic flctloin.'noxv extanti This Is the way
Hakewaste tellssthe stdry as It was told to
him by Kaomdenlyeycdan :
"There were eleven of us , who started out
to trap abouti-the lake regions of Minne
sota. As wexwfro going along. ) we came tea
a farm hou'so .whore by the- roadside a hen
waa settlngtluponvsome A young man
btf'the.namejof Pazalyapai said1 lie wa * going
to take ; -the hen .nnd eggs to oat. which
Naglwicakto 41d .noU think -was.- right , 'as
therO'\vas nota very friendly feeling between
the Indians and the whites , at which I'a-
zaiyapa was enraged arrd said that Naglwl-
cakte was a coward , and there was a hot
conversation between then , and finally they
were divided Into two i companies , Naglwl-
cakte , Kaomdcnlyeyedan andiothers forming
ono party , while Pazalyapa and- six others
made up the other party. They separated ,
calling one another cowards , going In differ
ent directions. Naglwlcakte , who took palna
to prevent Pazalyapa from disturbing the
setting hen , came to a farm and with his
friends sat down by the roadside to smoke.
As they were smoking they heard rapid
firing of guns In the direction which Pa
zalyapa had taken , at which Naglwlcakte
grunted for disappointment for the reason
that he thought Pazalyapa was after all a
brave man and had charged upon some white
people.
STARTED THE KILLING.
"This was about noon when they came to
the farm , and , jusf , as the successive reports
of thd guns jceased there wore two white
men came but of .the woods , each with r.n
axe on his shoulder' ' , and passed by the place
where the Indian's were sitting. As usual
In such cases the white men said 'How * and
the Indians said 'How' In response , and just
as they passed Kaomdenlyeyedan took up
his gun and shot one of them. He chat
him dead , and ho shot the other also as he
sianoa to run , ana then au started toward
the barn and look some hordes and rode
them homo b'y "midnight. "
As a matter , of fact , Pazalyapa , Instead of
charging upon so'hie white people , had come
upon a covey of prafrlo chickens , which they
were engaged.In shooting , and the other In
dians heard flier rapid reports of the guns ,
which , Instead , qf dealing death to the
white people , a"s they foiitlly hoped , were
slaughtering most cellule , birds to be con
verted to their owniuse. .
These young men were all relatives of the
Mdewakantonwans and the Wahpotonwans
and all fcur bands started In together to do
tbo fatal dod on the morning of August 18 ,
1S62 , known ns , the Sioux outbreak. For
seven weeks this war between the Indians ,
the 'settlors and the United States troops
lasted , but was finally put down by Generil
SlbUy , who took a nuniber of the Sioux
prisoners. As.'a . result of this outbreak
thirty-eight mon were sentenced to death at
Mankato , Minn. , some Wahpetonwana being
among those who .were hung , and those not
condemned to death , were sentenced to im
prisonment at Davenport , la , , for a term of
four years , 400 undergoing this sentence ,
many of whom died from Improper sanitary
arrangements and'exposure. After the term
of Imprisonment bad expired the 'prisoners
wore rotiirfidd 16 their respective agencies
and are tliorf , "a few today standing as
living monument's ' to testify that the Slsse-
tons and tHe"Wahpotonwas were Just as
guilty as 'tlio ' Mdewakantonwans and the
? ' '
Wuhpekutef ,
WAN7 , , THEIR RIGHTS.
The Flanuijeaijf Sioux , who wore a part of
this great Indian nation , have been excused ,
their acts condoned by the- government of
the United 'Brutes ' In giving them their rights
under old -treaties and extending to- them
annuities and r homes toad rights. But the
Santee SIoj ive for some unaccountable
reason been prohibited from enjoying the
rights accruing , ni the way of lands and an
nuities , anq'irls for the purpose of giving
the Santee Slpux'both in Nebraska and South
Dakota , their'rlfihts under former laws that
Senator Allen b& Introduced this bill.
In the ijwllvlnMB6 of history there Is
nothing UKQutjift Et ° i ° y which conies tloun
from this outbreak. Indiana wore considered
bravest who carried the largest number of
wMto men'ascalps dangling at their belta.
Might was right , and that a. setting hen
should have , caused the outbreak shows upon
how slight a provocation rested the peace be
tween the Indians and the whites In those
troublous times , when the United States bad
a great internecine strife upon Its bands In
addition to repelling Indian marauders along
the borders ,

WASHINGTON , Jan. IS. Secretary Her
bert was before the senate committee on
naval affairs for three hours today In con
nection with the Inquiry under the Chandler
resolution concerning the Harveylzed i > teel
contracts , lie .said that ho know nothing
of Commander Folger's connection with the
Carnegie company before he resigned his
position as chief of the bureau of construc
tion and repair. Being questioned concern
ing the connecting of the Navy department
with the efforts to have the Harvey patents
expedited at the patent office , he said that
there waa no record of any effort tq ascer
tain the , patentability of the Harvey process ,
but he produced records to show that It was
not an unusual thing for the secretary of
the navy to request the secretary of the
Interior to expedite applications for patents
for articles for use In the navy , as ho did
In the case cf Mr. Harvey's application. In
regard to the discrepancy between the prices
charged for the armor supplied this govern
ment by the Carnegie company and the
Bethlehem Iron works and those charged
tlio Russian government , Mr. Herbert said
that It was nccesiury or. account of the
strong competition to make low bids to get
the Russian contract. Mr. Herbert also said
It had EO far been Impossible to secure com
petition In bids on. array plate. He stated
that slnco ( bo had become secretary he had
put a stop to the system of granting fur
loughs to naval ollleory to engage Jn other
lines of business.
The committee will meet again next Satur

WASHINGTON , Jan. 18. Argentine con
tinues to loom up as the great southern
competitor of the United States In cupply-
Ing the world with agricultural products of
the temperate zone , and figures showing
the Import and export trade of the country
for the first nine months of 1895 , which
have been furnished to the State depart
ment by United States Minister Buchanan ,
Indicate a steady growth in trade and a
healthy business there.
These figures show a decrease of $1,928,035
In Imports , and an Increase of $12,036,554 in
exports , as compared with the preceding
year. The advance was specially noticeable
In exports of live animals , flour and butter ,
the Increase In tbet latter Indicating a
steady development of the agricultural popu
lation In lines other than the production of
wheat. Lumber and kerosene Imports from
the Unltod States show an Increase.

of the Now York block brokerage firm of
Mcoro & Schley , who refused to answer ques

R'nal decides. The defense took numerous
exceptions to the rulings of Judge Cole In
.he course of the trial , and these cxcop-
lena , Including objections on constitutional
grounds , will bo the basis of the arguments
on appeal. The Chapman trial was regarded
as a test case , and will bo followed by the

WASHINGTON , Jan. 18. The statement
from London that the British flylnc squadron
was not Intended for American waters was
received with visible relief In naval circles ,
jut In the State department it was evident
that It was anticipated , and U Is surmised
hat Ambassador Bayard had already com-
nuntcated secretly with the department on
the subject nnd given satisfactory assur
ances as to the Intentions of the British gov
ernment.
The Impression Is strengthened that the
Venezuelan matter Is soon to be settled , or
rather , put In the way cf settlement ( for
he execution of the details of the project
vlll occupy much time ) In the course of a
ew weeks .ar months nt furthest , and that ,
too , on the lines Indicated l the recent
Associated prcs dispatches from Washing
ton. The plan Is likely to takiith'e shape of
a double arbitration , and In this respect It
will parallel the Bering sea arbitra
tion. First will come an nr-
iltratlon of the title to lands
ylng west of the Schomburgk line. To an
extent this will bo a concession to the
British position , which has been ono of
constant willingness to arbitrate this tcrrl-
ory , but It will bo a concession In part
only , for there will be a provision that If It
shall appear In the course of the Invcstlga-
ion of the arbitrators that there Is reason
o doubt the sufficiency of the British title
j any part of the lands lying to the cast-
vard of the Schomburgk line , then this
act shall be reported to the British and
Venezuelan governments and shall constl-
utea sufficient ground for another arbltra-
lon.
lon.This
This would parallel the course of the
Jutted States and British governments In
ho Bering'sea arbitration wherein the orlg-
nal arbltratcrs passed upon the question
of damages sustained by the ships of the
icwcr who was found to be In the right ,
iut left to another commission the method
f adjusting theio claims.
It Is pointed out here that by the adoption
f such a courto , the British government
aould avoid any direct recognition of the
obnoxious Monroe doctrine as construed by
Secretary Olney , the line of picccdcntould

till achieve Its object , namely : Judicial

tlint CoiiKri-NN Should Kor-
iniiliilitlio Monroe Hnutrlitc.
WASHINGTON , Jan. IS. Tbo Davis reso
lution Interpreting the Monroe doctrine , the
main features of wh'ch were published by
the Associated press this morning , has
caused considerable comment. It Is known It
Is the Intention of the senate committee to
make thu resolution declare what Is the ut
most limits to which the Monroe doctrine
can bo applied. In answer to the report tint
thsro lo sonic opposition to n declaration by
the United States of what the Monroe doc
trine covers , It Is said by the advocates of
the Davis resolution that every tlmo a ques
tion arises In which the Monroe doctrlno
Id Involved Borne foreign government Inter
ested makes the point that the Monroe doc
trine Is nothing but an najertlou which never
has been adopted by the American congress
or approved by the American people.
It Is also asserted the declaration once
formally adopted by congress \\lll settle for
ever the question of foreign aggression ou
the American continent.
The reports concerning the British flying
squadron etlrred up the friends of the reso-
lut'on nnd they decided that If the reports
that it Is bound for Bermuda , are confirmed
efforts should bo made to call up the Daws
resolution and pass It through 'the senate
o.i soon as possible , even to the displacement
of the sliver bill. It Is said by men proml-
nont In foreign affairs In congress that Eng
land could not make ai grea.tcr1 mistake than
to send her licet to Bermuda. Ono of the
most pronounced advocates of the Aiiur.'can
doctrlno said today that the American people
ple wcro slow to rise , but that they would
rcvnt .with their wjiole strength anything
that ould bo .construed Into"A menace. 'Con
tinuing. ho said that In the Transvaal and
other troubles the United ' Stites had re
frained from adding to Great Britain's em
barrassment , but , If the great fleet assembled
at Portsmouth \\ay to bo sent to waters ad
jacent to America , Instead of serving to
make the United States hesitate In the mat
ter of a ilcc''iraUon and enforcement of the
Monroe doctrlno , It would have the opposite
effc-ct. The United States , by the Davis reso
lution , he asserted , would make It very clear
that under no circumstances will any violation
lation of the Monroe doctrlno bo allowed.
It Is agreed by all senators that tlio iroit1
Important pirt of the Davis rwolu'lon la that
wh'ch ' asserts that the United SUtes shall
bo the solo judge as to whether the Mon-
no doctrine h&s- been violated In any aibl-
trjtlon or agreement or In tbj sottlornnl of
.1 boundary dispute between a foreign govern
ment and a government en the A in or lean
continent. It Is predicted by tliosa 'vho
favcr this part of th's resolution that It meets
tliu criticism mads to the portion of the
president's message ? stating that any agree
ment made between Great IlrlUI'i and
Vone/uela Is not to bo objssif.l to by tlio
Urlted States. The extreme limits of ths
Monroe doctrlno , as Interpreted by the Davis
resolution. Is defined by saying thU Is ncces-
ary In order to prevent any ,1e fncto govern
ment which may bo In power In Rome South
American country fcr a short tlmo from bar
tering away a portion of their territory. It
was ftated In this connection that Hit time
may arrive when Spain would agree to sen
Cuba to England and congress should pro
claim In advance that such a sala or cesnlca
would be contrary to the Monroe doctrine
and an act unfriendly to the United States
on the part of the country making the ac
quisition.
The Davis resolution will bo presented to
the sc-nate on MoiiQby. It IH predicted that
considerable opposition will bo manifested
to It , and especially to that part which makes
the United Statea the- judge of the validity
of any arbitration or agreement. It 1 also
stated by the opponents of such ft course
that such a declaration Is bound to load to
entanglements. Th'e DavlH resolution I *
'rffined to cover not only the case of Vene-
zuc-la , but also that of Honduras , which ,
t Is said , will soon engross the attention
of the world. In tht Honduras oa o It Is
said the claim of Great Britain gees back
as far as the tmo ! of Charles I , when a
grant to cut mahogany wan given to some
wood cutters ,
