Enclosed band you copies of letters have

subject OF cancellations of American citizens in
Cuba. I have only dealt with facts in these COM
munications, leaving to ADLER and better pens the
developing Of the great principles and the points Of
international law, which the question involves.
The subject is one ofimportance, not only for its
swn individual merits, but also for its bearing upon
the position of our citizens in all foreign countries
Trade or pleasure take our countrymen to all parts
Of the world and although am not an advocate
for system of bullying foreign powers, would be
glad to see, and so believe would every American,
a new policy instituted by our general government
m regard to the interests and protection Of cit
zens abroad. We have too long acted upon the
principles that every one treats US with the same
serupuous regard to justice, with which we treat
them. Had we acted with a somewhat different
policy, perhaps war with Mexico, or an expedition
to Japan, might have been avoided. l have the
