Continuing, he said'

SENATOR WOLCoTT, rOpean powers OF their
system to any portion of this hemisphere, as
expressed in that message, had especial ref
erence to the systems Of government which
we're based on the divine right OF kings
and which we're directed to the overthrow
Of all republics wherever existing that
the Monroe doctrine was in nOwise intend
ed as insisting upon republican forms
Of government in this hemisphere or as
committing this government to maintain
the doctrine outside its own borders OF ex-
cept as its own integrity might be affected;
that this country is embarking upon a new
and different policy from the one laid down by
our fathers, and that from 1921 until now con-
gress has uniformly declined to define the So
called Monroe doctrine or to adopt it as rule
Of action
The efforts Of the government to fire the ma
tiOnal heart have not been unaVailng nor was
the work difficult There is discomfort, too,
with existing conditions in many sections Of
the country, and men feel that any change
even war with a foreign country could not
make matters worse. and might bring i'm
pToYement. There are all over the west and
south, men who work on their farms and find
the grain they raise little more valuable for
food than as fuel, who know that the railways
that charge them for the transportation Of
their products are largely owned in Great
Britain and either prosperous, or if insOl-
vent, are fOstered and protected and man
aged BY the federal courts. They also view
with distTust the close financial relations
existing between the bankers Of the east
and those Of London, and they would well
come any event, even war, that would re-
suit, as they believe war would result, in
destroying these relations and lead US to rely
HpOn our resources alone and to embrace
economic policies which would not be depend
ent on those Of foreign countries. ThOughtless
and weak and ignorant these views may be,
but the person who denies their existence is
not familiar with the conditions or opinions i'll
many states Of the union.
The Monroe doctrine was essentially 4 doe
tTtne Of self-defenSe, promulgated for our own
preservation and for no other purpose. Our
country in 1923 was sparsely settled and its
boundary but vaguely defined To-day our
own borders are defined, our government
eternally planted on the solid rock. No dan
ger threatens US from without We are mem
aced by no foreign foe. The passage Of the
resolution reported by the committee at this
time can do no good and its Introduction only
adds another fagOt to the fire which ought not
to be permitted longer to burn.
We have made it infinitely more dif1cult for
Great Britain to accept arbitration By our
demOnstTatiye diplomacy and volunteer com
mission; and We are drifting into position
where Great BritaiH's refusal to arbitTate, and
she may lawfully refuse, will be considered as
demanding from US a dignifed and earnest
protest.

other : agot to the Fire Which
Should Not Burn.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-The senate
galleries were well filed to-day in ans
tieipation of the speech of Senator
Woleott, Of Colorado, on the Monroe
doctrine. After referring to the mes
sage of President Cleveland on the
Venezuelan question and the appoint
ment of the commission to determine
the true divisional line separating
Venezuela and British Guiana, Senator
Wolcott said that, under the circum-
stances, it would ordinarily seem to be
the part of wisdom to refrain at pres
ent from further public comment upon
so sensitive and delicate a matter. The
resolution which the committee on for
eign relations had reported was so far
reaching in its character that it re-
CURED careful investigation.

War.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 90 The an
nouncement of the appointment of
Gen. Valeriano Weyler as civil cap
tain-general of Cuba was received at
Cuban headquarters here as coDfrma-
tory of the view they had already ex-
pressed upon the news of Campos'
retirement, that there has been
a radical change in the policy
of the Spanish cabinet and that
heneeforth there is to be a reign
of blood and terror il Cuba.
Gen. Weyler is a veteran soldier and
has had his own experience in revolu-
tions, for he followed the fortunes of
the Spanish armies in Cuba for years
during the last revolution, with the
rank of colonel and earned for himself
a dreadful reputation as man of blood
and iron.
