European world how far the American government
has done wrong in protecting its citizens from the perse

that the London Times shall forth and admit what

eathe whole originated planned conducted, and pro
eeed by the British government and running through
nearly three-uarers of century In the region where
the United States have recently been compelled to take
summary vengeance upon tribe OF adventures ana rob-
bers (who doubtless encouraged in their designs by
the English agents in Central America and who sought,
in close imitation of British example, to insult citizens
and interrupt commerce across the ismus of Mica
ragu that very region the operations OF Great Britain
have been perseyerng conducted for with disregard
of all rgh claims possession and Of all honor such as
no other nation has dared exhibit this continent since
the American revolution. Why does not the London
Times faithful chronicler enlighten the people OF
Europe upon facts like thesecs which stand his
tory deyng rentation In regard to this very Mosquito
shore which she claims to exercise potectorate
she agreed solcmny by treaty with Spain in 1876, latter
having previously attempted to COLOMBO t to abandon all
these pretensions and to withdraw all her subjects This
treaty was violated until it renewed in 1874 July H.
and from that day up 1924 when Nicaragua came into
possession of the rights of Spain by revolutions and was
recognised us an independent State by both England
and SPAIN the treaty has been violated and also
from 1924 to l8is when Lord Pamerston ordered that
the town of San Juan de Nicaragua should be forciby
seized by the British troops and its changed 10 Grey
town. in order to make these general usurpatons the
Mosquito shore look legal to the English public But
the London Times should go on, and proclaim to the
world also that these English violations of good aith
to Spain and Nicaragua beginning nearly threequarters
Of century ago have been fifty followed out in regard to
this country as recent and notorious examples will show
AT this very the CaytonBulwer treaty of 1850 is
deliberately violated by the British government VIII the
Times approve the monsrous doctrines set up to shield
and justify this last wrong? that IN defiance
of that treaty. Great Britain has not yielded her protector
ate over the Mosquito Shore that she has extended the Mos
quito boundaries and that she has publicly proceeded to
coonze portions of Central America in lnsolent con-
tempt of the treaty? Or will it prefer to go back upon the
Greytown affair and seek to do injustice to the United
States the time dishonesty conceang from pub
lie view the violence perpetraed upon this very Greytown
San JUAN In s48 by order OF Lord Palmsrston when
without petext but solely because only six days before
the United States had acquired California; two British
vessels entered the port OF San JUAN tore down the
Ncaaguan flag took prisoners the officers OF the fort and
town. and afterwards followed and dispersed the Nicarag
an orces This is exactly what the Times is now doing
if the English government in lS4S in dsmanng the
town of San JUAN and the band Of 1854 in making Of
that town Of Of land pirates had not the same
object in commonthe interruption of American cmigra-
ton to- and commerce with, California; When these facts
are made to the world assurcdy they Will be
made known the arrogant criticisms Of the London Times
will be the better appreciated by civilized nations and the
merits of the recent chastsemen of the bandit at San
Juan better understood.
Meanwhile it is well that the Times and its hackers
should understand that the affair of Captain Holns, of
which it complains will be disposed of uitom British inter
vsnon Great Britain can send her whole navy into the
neghborhood of San JUAN she spare III but She will
consult her own welfare by keeping hands off This not
the time nor the OCCASION especially in view of the English
attempt to ignore the last treaty between England and this
country for any further interference in the
affairs Ct the United States.
