SEEING UPON CUBA BY ATTACHMENT
The Washington Union endorses the
proposition of Hon. Reuben Davis Of
this State, to proceed by attachment
against Spain as an absent, absconding
or fraudulent debtor, and levy upon
Cuba. 1t devotes over a column to the
subject, and closes as follows:
Mr.. Davis proposes, under all the cir
cumstances, that the Federal Govern
ment shall notify Spain and demandpa
ment OF certain Indebtedness, and, in de-
fault thereof, that attachment issue with
directions to our naval constables to
seize the Island of Cuba. In equity,
Mr.. Davis is right. Spain has justly
forfeited all claim to the forbearance OF
the United States. The Island has bren
governed for twenty years ON the idea
that England and France would not con
sent to its falling iuto her hands. 1t has
been regarded as perfectly safe to treat
our people as barbarians and pirates to
arrest them, confscate their property,
and, even when pronounced innocent in
criminal prosecutions, to refuse not only
to return their estates, but make them
pay enormous costs. The whole judicial
system of Cuba is in the hands or under
the control of the Governor General
This is not the theory of the Govern
ment, but its practice so that all au-
thority, wherever and by whomsoever
executed is q unit

The National Inteligencer has a
lengthy and elaborate history of the
Monroe Doctrine, the points of which
are summed as follows:
l. That the Monroe declaration OF
1923, in both its phases, had its origin
in the changed relations and new re-
sponsibilities imposed on the several
States of the American continents aris-
ing especially from the emancipation of
the Spanish Colonies, and rendering il
conducive to the interest of all that the
American Continents should not be sub
ject to future colonization of any Euro
pean power as Waste and unoccupied ter
rltory; and that no foreign State or
States should be allowed to intervene in
the domestic affairs Of any American peo
pie for the purpose of suppressing repub-
llcan institutions.
2. That the Monroe declaration in so
far as it related to threatened interven.
ton of the Holy Alliance in the concerns
OF the Spanish American States, was in
tended to meeta particular contingency
of events, and therefore passed away
with the occasion which called it forth.
3. That the Monroe doctrine, in so far
as it relates to the colonization of the
American Continent by any European
Power, was not intended to bind the Uni
ted States to guard the territory of the
new World from such occupation by Eu-
ropean States; but was intended to in
dictate, as an important principle of
American public policy, that " each State
should guard by its own means against
the establishment of any future European
colony" within the jurisdiction of its flag.
That is, the American Continents were
no longer held open to colonization as
derelict territory, capable of occupation
by right of discovery and settlement.
a. That the Monroe doctrine" was
not in any proper sense "a pledge" and
as such was especially discarded by the
Democratic party.
The current Interpretation of the "Mon-
roe doctrine has, therefore, no founda-
ton in the truth of its intrinsic merits, |
as proposition wholly distinct and differ |
ent from that which was conceived by its
author or affirmed by its first promulga-
tor, whose destiny it has been to give bis
honored name to a principle for which
he never contended.
