STARTLING REPORT.
The United States Said to Have
Made an Alliance.
An OFFSET TO THE DRElBUyD.
Great Britain to BE Expelled From Amer
lea aud All Her Possessions Taken
America to Help Russia
and France.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia triple alli-
ance between the United States, Russia
and France, such is the international
combination of forces for mutual benefit
and defense which has been secretly
pending for six years and which, un-
known to the diplomatic world at large,
eliminated in an executive session OF
the United States senate last week.
This is the first public announcement
of the weighty meaning which lay be-
hind the seemingly unimportant and
formal announcement that ''the extra
dition treaty with Russia has been
ratified"
That was the sum total of the an
nouncement which was given to the
public. But the ratification of this
treaty meant an epoch in the history of
this country. 1t meant that the cen
tury will close with what Prince Gorts-
chakOff, the great Russian chancellor,
once described as necessary for the
universal equilibrium of nations
namely, an alliance between the United
States, Russia and France"
In ratifying these treaties the United
States government has received distinct
pledges both orally, through the Rus
sian and French legations in Washing
ton. and by correspondence through the
department of state with the foreign
officers of those governments, of their
support, by force if necessary, against
any interference by Germany, Great
Britain or any other European power
with the maintenance by the United
States of what is commonly termed
'the Monroe doctrine"
In other words, the control of the
Hawaiian islands, the annexation of
British America, the acquisition of
Cuba, of Hayti and San Domingo and
the ultimate expulsion of Great Britain
from bermuda are all possibilities in
fulfilling which the United States
would be upheld by the two powers
which in European politics are most
distinctly opposed to the dreibund, the
alliance between Germany, Austria and
Italy.
