The newspapers have been filled with
speculations and inquiries concerning
the treaty obligations existing between
this country and Spain which stand in
the way Of the recognition of the bel
ligerent rights of the insurgents. I'm
doubtedly the majority of our people
have earnestly sympathized with the
patriots there, and have desired this
government to interfere in the interest
Of humanity and of patriotism.
President Cleveland has strictly OBJ
served the international law in such
cases, and has also complied with the
treaty agreements between the two
countries. According to the comfy Of
nations this country could not inter-
fere in Cuban affairs without ample
provocation, because the other civilized
nations of the world might have some.
thing to say on the subject The pow
ers Of the nations are we'll balanced,
and it is to the interest Of every nation
to prevent the extension of arbitrary
power. Upon this principle the Monroe
doctrine is based. No power in Europe
shall extend its possessions upon the
American continent without the con-
sent of the United States.
Treaties are necessities of modern
civilization. When an occasion arises
which requires an agreement between
the United States and any foreign
power, the minister or ambassador rep
resenting that nation at Washington
confers with our secretary of state
under orders and directions from his
government. Immediately thereafter
letters are exchanged between the
diplomatic representatives Of the two
governments, and every thing is made a
matter of record. Moreover, according
to diplomatic usage no typewriting OF
printing is allowed, but all of the cor
respondence is carried on with pen an6
ink.
After full correspondence, and com
plete understanding, the foreign min
lister or ambassador calls upon the sec
rotary of state, and they two frame al
agreement which shall cover all of thu
points in controversy. This is called {
rough draft, and copy of it is sent te
