pay it over, During the examinali IN ofthe
witness, one of the jurors complained of

that Hulbut's eccentrictities have been re-
proved by the State Department. We can
not doubt that America is sincere in her
desires to rococile the victors and van
quished. The appearance of the dicta-
ton and partisanship may be explained
by the unitness of the instrument
chosen by the Secretary of State. 1t is not
likely that England or any European State
will be tempted to NEEDLE in the affairs of
South America, but such Intervention
might be necessary if European interests
should be affected. 1t must not be imal.
ined that the European powers can acqnl-
esce in u very wide extension of the
Monroe doctrine, as implied in
Secretary Blaine's dispatches. Intervention
ter protection of European interests is
rightiully claimed by the powers as it is by
the United States for the protection of their
interests in China and Japan"
