AMERICAN NEUTRALITY IN CHINA
Dispatches received at Washington from
Captain Armstrong, commanding the United
States squadron in the East, states that,
so far, we have been able to maintain our
neutrality amid all the complicated difficult
ties between England and China "and," he
adds. even against the pressure of our
sympathizing countrymen.'
This is satisfactory refutation of the
report-which reached the United States a
few weeks ago-that Armstrong; flag ship,
the San Jacinto, had Joined fotilla of
English gunboats to make demonstration
against the Chinese at or near Canton. 1t
is to be hoped that Capt. Armstrong will
continue to maintain his neutral position.
We have no cause to quarrel with John
Chinaman; no interests to subserve, ex-
cept by peace, and no laurels to gain in a
contest with people as ignorant as children
of the art of war.
