Pirates and Powers.

The most extreme Critic of Mr.. Cleve
lands attitude. in connection with the
Cuban resolution, must admit that the
naval episode of the Three Friends places
the foreign relations of this government
in new and very serious position, ami
that it now beComes the duty Of all citizens
TO attend strictly to their own affairs
and to leave the administration free hand
to extricate itself from the scrape in man
ner and form befitting the dignity of a
great nation.
Judging from the press rel orts and com
meuts upon the wariike, if b.oodless, en-
gagement between the filibuster flying our
flag and craft belonging TO the Spanish
navy, there is too much reason to fear
that the only construction that can be
put upon the conduct OF the American boat
is that it was an act OF piracy There
can be little doubt that the extraditIon OF
any participants in the offense who may
happen to be found in the United States
will be demanded by Spain. There is
equally little reason I o doubt that it wouli
promptly be granted. That being true, it
were exceedingly well for anyone con
scious OF being wanted in the premises to
get under cover somewhere as speedily i.s
possible 1t is not so long ago that several
japanese boys took refuge in an American
consulate in China, being charged with
sketching the Qualifications Of the to wn for
the benefit Of their country, then at war
with his Chinese majesty. The late Mr.
Gresham, then Secretary of State, ordered
them over to the Chinese authorities, al
though their guilt was much in coabt The
order was equivalent to a death warrant,
and was known TO be so in advance. The
boys were surrendered and We're subjected
to torture for a season, after which they
were duly executed. There was much less
excuse for drastic action on the part of
the Executive in that than there wolld
be in the case of the Three Friends fill
busters. In the japanese instance there
was an outcry OF horror against the ease
with which the State Department ap-
peared to let 60 the unfortunate refug les,
