Relations, submitted the report On Central
American affairs. The report reviews at length
the whole case, saying in conclusion
"The law of 1894, equally with that of
1878 was founded in wise policy to preserve
the peace of the country, and maintain amity
and amicable relations with foreign States 1t
denounces its penalty against those, whether
cluzens or foreigners, who, within its juris-
dlcton, abuse the protection and hospitality
OF the laws, by secret and unlawful practices
to wage piratical war against nations with
whom we are at peace, and, in most cases,
dishonoring the American flag used to shield
them in transportation. Were such things
tolerated, every restless and turbulent adven-
turer who, unequal to- or disdainful of, the
sober tolls Of peace, could find food for his
ambition only in the license Of carnage, ra-
pine, and Tavages Ct war
