The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-12-19
is CLEVELAND FOR WAR

He Sends q Special Message to Congress,
Urging Vigorous Proceedings Against
England.
For some tin.espast there have been
diplomatic" proceedings between
the Cleveland administration and
the English government. The subject
of these proceedings is the South
American State of Venezuela. The
The Venezuelans claim that the Eng
lish people are encroaching on their
country and occupying and governing
lands to which they have no right.
Taking the "Monroe Doctrine" az
the reason for it's action, tho Cleve-
land administration made a request
or demand that these encroachments
of the English be stopped and that a
proper boundary line be set. The
English government sent back re-
ply to the effect that the demand of
the United States would not be no
ticed. Then on Tuesday, December,
II, the President sent special mes
sage to Congress in which he almost
urges Congress to declare for war.
He urges that a commission be ap.
pointed to examine into the matter.
He says:
The Monroe doctrine finds its rec
ognition in principles of ipterna.
tional law, based upon the theory
that every nation shall have its
rig hts protected and its just claims
enforced.
Having now been appraised of thu
refusal, nothing remains but to &C
cept the situation and deal with i
accordingly.
He concludes: making thes,
recommendations l am fully alive t,
the full responsibility incurred, an.
keenly realize all the consequence
which may follow. I am neverthe
less of the firm conviction that
while it is grievous thing to con
template two great English speaking
people of the world being otherwise
than friendly competitors in the on
ward march of civilization and siren
uous and worthy rivals in all arts o
peace, there is no calamity which
great nation can invite equal to tina
which follows supine submission t
wrong and injustice and consequen
loss of national self-respect an
honor beneath which is shielded an
. defended a peoples safety and grea'
