were In the wrong car, one Of them replied that
ssThcy had maid their fare and would ride where
they id pleased The train being In motion, Mr..
LRughn raised his hand to Che befl-rope, when enc
of them made at him with 'slungshot' and
another attacked Mr. Allen, The third villain, find.
ing things more lively than was expected, jumped
from the car, advising Che others to follow, which
they soon did; one Of them assisted BY blow from
Mr.. Allen, which lamed his (Alen's) hand, and the
other by an iron poker In the hands OF Mr. Laugh

Washington inaugurated the policy of neutrali-
", and of absolute separation from all foreign en-
trality.
1t has been one of the constant cares of the
u. . government to prevent piratical eXpedi-
tons against the feeble South American Repub-
lies from leaving our shores. In no country are
men wanting for any enterprise that holds out
promise of adventure or gain. The revolutions
which, from 1910, spread almost simultaneously
through the Spanish American Continent Colo
MES, resulted in the establishment of new States
like ourselves, of European origin and interested
IN excluding European politics and questions of
ence in the New World, The American policy of
neutrality, important before became doubly so,
rom me fact that it became applicable to the new
Republic as well as to the mother country.
Mr.. Monroe concisely expressed the rule which
has controlled the action of this government with
reference TO the country pending its struggle, by
saying, soon as the government assumed a
steadily and consistent form TO make a success
of the province probable the rights to which they
were entitled by the laws of the nations as equal
parties to civil war were extended to them.
The strict adherence to this rule of public poll
cy has been one of the highest honors of Ameri-
can statesmanship, and has secured to this gov
ernment the confidence of the public powers of
TINS continent, and which inclined them to rely
upon its friendship in the absence of all signs of
conquest, and to look to the United States for ex-
ample and moral protection.
1t has given to this government position of
prominence and influence which it should not alb
dleate, but which imposes upon it the mof- deli
cate duties of right and honor regard the
American question, whether those ques 4ons af-
feet elnancipated colonies or colonies still subject
to European dominion.
Ehe question of belligerency is one of fact, not
to be decided by sympathies for or preiudices
against parties. The relation between the pres
ent state OF the insurgents must amount in fact to
war, in case of international law. Applying the
best information which have been able TO gath
er, whether from official or unofficial sources, in
cluding very exaggerated statements which each
party gives to all that may prejudice the opposite
or give credit to its own side of the question, ]
am unable to see, in the present condition of the
contest, those elements which are requisite to
constitute war in the sense of International law
The insurgents hold no town or city, have no es-
tablished seat of government. They have no prize
courts, no organization for receiving collect
ing revenue, no seaport for which prize may be
carried, or through which access can be had by q
foreign power to the limited interior territory and
mountain faStness which they occupy.
The existence of Legislature representing any
popular constituency is more than doubtful in its
uncertainty.

woods, he was attacked by man who he thought
to be negro, and a struggle took place between
the two, when another man ran to the negroes as
sistance and applied a bottle of chlOroform to
Snyder, who fell to the ground. They then rob
bed him of everything he had, including S45 in
money. Not satisfied with this, they deliberately
castrated him, mangling him in a shocking man

his wife he was robbed and tainted. Medical aid
