Review Of the Country's Foreign ReIa-
tions-statistlcs Regarding the Revenue
Of the United states-AmericA's Media
tion In the Oriental War.
WASHINGTON, d. G Dec, President
Cleveland sent bis message TO Congress
to-day, and It was listened to with rapt
attention. The following Is a synopsis
OF t.:
The history Of our recent dealing with
other nations and our peaceful relations
with them at this time additionally
demonstrate the advantage OF consist
emily adhering to frm but just foreign
policy, free from envious or ambitious
national schemes and characterized by
entire honesty and sincerity.
The Struggle In the orient.
Although the war between China and
Japan epdangers no policy OF the United
States. Il deserves our greatest consider
alton by reason OF It's disturbance Of our
| growing commercial interests In the two
countries and the increased dangers
which may result TO our citizens domi-
ciled or sojourning In the Interior OF
China
1
treaty with Korea (the first concluded
with Western power felt constrained
at the beginning Of the cor ntroversy
to tender our good offices TO induce an
amicable arrangement Of the initial diff
Guilty growing out of the japanese de-
mands for administrative reforms
In Korea, but the unhappy pre-.
cipitation OF Rctual hOstilities
defeated this kindly purpose. Deploring
the destructive war between the two
most powerful OF the Eastern nations
and anxious that our commercial in
terests In these countries may be pre-
served and that the safety OF our oitl-
zsns there shall not be ieopardlzsd
would not hesitate TO heed any
intimidation that our friendly aid for the
honorable termination Of hostilities
would be acceptable to both belligersnts.
The Trouble in BIueheids.
Although the alien interests arraysd d
against Nicaragua in Bluedelds have been
largely American and the commerce OF
that region for sometime has been and
still is chiefly controlled by our citizens,
we cannot for that reason challenge the
rightful sovereignty Of Nicaragua over
this important part OF her domain For
some months one and during part Of the
time two, Of our naval ships have beer
stationed at Bluefelds for the protection
Of all legitimate interests Of our citizens
In September last the government al
Mangua expelled from the territory
twelve or more foreigners, including
two Americans, for alleged par
ticipation In the seditious or revolu
tionary movements against the re
/ public at Blue6elds already mentioned
but through the earnest remonstrAnce @
= this government Che twO Americans hav
l been permitted to return to the peaceful
: management Of their business.
, Our stand in Armenia.
In my last annual message | adverte
10 the claim on part Of Turkey Of the
| right to expsl as persons undesirable
= and dangerous, Armenians naturalized Il
: the United States and returning &
: Turkish jurisdiction. Numerous cues
tions in this relation have arisen. Will
the government acquiesces In the as
!, serted right Of expulsion it will not con
!, sent that Armenians may be lmprlsone
- or otherwise punished for no other res
son than having acquired without i'm
periAl consent American citizenship.
