Biatne's south American Policy.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-The Eusn.
ing Posts Washington special
says: Blaine will soon set forth his
side of the story regarding HE
South American diplomacy and
make 1t an issue in his future po-
litical relations. His general pol.
icy was to organize confederation
of American Republics. The idea
originated with the late Nicara.
guam Minister, who corresponded
on the subject with the leading
South American statesmen and,
receiving favorable replies, he
broached the subject to Blaine.
The latter was favOrably impressed
and subsequently he shaped his
course in that direction. He
thought q bold front towards Eu-
rope might become necessary and,
with that in view, he prepared the
abrogatiOn of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty. He also intended to form
q policy which wouldsrelesse Cuba
from Spanish domination and free
the Gulf from European control.
Biaine's friends claim that his in
structions TO Trescott were sent
after full consultation with Arthur,
but that the latter now shrinks
from the consequences. The pol.
icy no doubt contemplated uniting
the American republics in the
event of war with European ma.
tions. So far from seeking to ex-
plain away his policy, Blaine re.
CARDS it as the crowning stroke of
his genius.
