MINISTER MERRY'S CASE.
Consolidation of Central Americas
States Causes u Diplomatic
COmUlicntion.

AS to the representation Of this govern
ment to Nicaragua. Salvador and Costa
Rica, have concluded that Mr.. William l..
Merry. confirmed as minister of the United
States to the states of Nicaragua. Salvador
and Costa Rica, shall proceed to San Jose.
Costa Rica, and there temporarily establish
the headquarters of the United States TO
those three states I took this action for
what l regarded as the paramount inter-
ests of this country. II was developed upon
an investigation by the secretary of state
that the governor of Nicaragua. while not
unwilling to receive Mr.. Merry in his Dip
lomatic quality. was unable to do so on
account of the compact concluded June
%. 1885, whereby that republic and those of
Salvador and Honduras. forming what is
known as the Greater Republic of Central
America, had surrendered to the represent
alive diet thereof their right to receive and
send diplomatic agents. The diet was not
willing to accept him because he was not
accredited TO that body. 1 could not ac-
credit him to that body because the appro-
pirate law of congress did not permit. Mr..
Baker. the present minister at Managua
has been directed to present his letters of
recall.
Mr.. W. Godfrey Hunter has likewise been
accredited to the governments of Guate-
maia and Honduras, the same as his pred
ecessor. Guatemala is not a member of the
Greater Republic of Central America but
Honduras is. Should this latter government
decline to receive him. he has been in
structed to report this fact to his govern
nent and await its further Instructions.

INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLISM.
viewed and Hope of Ultimate
Success ExDreaSed

Under the provisions of the act Of con.
gress approved March 3. 1897, for the pro,
motion of an international agreement re-.
specting bimetallism. I appointed on tho
18th day Of April, 1897, the Hon. Edward
o. Wolcott, of Colorado; the Hon. Adlai E.
Stevenson, of Illinois. and the Hon. Charles
j. Paine. of Massachusetts,. as special en-.
voys to represent the United States. They
have been diligent in their efforts to Sc.
cure the concurrence and cooperation OF
European countries in the international
settlement of the question, but up to this
time have not been able to secure an agree.
nent contemplated by their mission.
Tho gratifying action of our great sister
republic of France in joining this country
in the attempt to bring about an agree.
Enent between the principal commercial ma
tions of Europe whereby Il fixed and rela..
tive value between gold and silver shall
be secured furnishes assurance that We are
not alone among the larger nations of the
world in realizing the international char
acter of the problem and in the desire OF
reaching some wise and practical solution
Of it. The British government has pub.
lished a resume of the steps taken jointly
by the French ambassador In London and
the special envoy of the United States
with whom our ambassador at London
actively co-operated in the presentation
of this subject to her majesty's govern.
ment. This will be laid before congress.
Our special ENJOYS have not made their
final report as further negotiations be-
tween the representatives of this govern.
ment and the governments Of other coun-
tries are pending and in contemplation.
They believe that doubts which have been
raised in certain quarters respecting the
possibility of maintaining the stability Of
the parity between the metals and kindred
questions may yet be solved by further
negotiations.
Meanwhile 1t gives me satisfaction to
state that the special envoys have already
demonstrated their ability and fitness to
deal with the subject, and it is to be ear
nestly hoped that their labors may result
in an international agreement which will
bring about recognition of both gold and
silver money upon such terms and with
such safeguards VIII secure the use OF
both metals upon Il basis which shall work
no injustice to any class of our citizens.

THE CUBAN QUESTION.
We.ler's Policy Denounced and n
Strong Argument Made Against
Intervention Now.

The most important problem with which
this government is now called upon to
deal, pertaining TO its foreign relations,
concerns its duty toward Spain and the
Cuban insurrecton.
Problems and conditions more or less in
common with those now existing have con-
frcnted this government at various times
in the past. The story of Cuba for many
years has been one OF unrest, growing dis
content, an effort toward a larger enjoy
ment of liberty and self-control of organ
lied resistance to the mother country, of
depression after distress and warfare. and
Of Intellectual settlement to be followed by
renewed revolt. For no enduring period
since the enfranchisement of the contin-
entail possessions of Spain in the Western
continent. has the condition of Cuba, or
the policy of Spain toward Cuba, not
caused concern TO the United States.
The prospect from time TO time that the
weakness of Spain's hold upon the island
and the political vicissitudes and embar-
rassments of the home government might
lead to the transfer of Cuba TO a contin-
entail power called forth, between 1893 and
1850, various emphatic declarations of the
policy Of the United States to permit no
slsturbance Of Cuba's connection with

A subject Of large Importance to our
country and increasing appreciation on the
part Of the people is the completion of the
great highway of trade between the At
lantic and Pacific known as the Nicaraguan
canal. Its utility and value to American
commerce is universally admitted. The

of this commission, making at the same
time such further suggestions as may then
seem advisable.

Japnn's Interest in the Matter.
The questions which have arisen between
Japan and Hawaii by reason of the treat
ment of Japanese laborers emigrating to
the Islands under the Observation-Disclosures
convention OF 1SSS are in Il satisfactory
state of settlement by negotiation. This
government has not been invited to medi-
ate, and. on the other hand has sought
no intervention in that matter further
than to evince its kindliest disposition to-
ward such speedy and direct adjustment
by the two sovereign states in interest as
shall comport with equity and honor. 1t is
gratifying TO learn that the apprehen-
sions at first displayed on the part OF
Japan lest the cessation of Hawaii's
national life through annexation might
impair privileges to which Japan honora-
bly, laid claim. have given place to a be-
lief in the righteousness OF the government
and sincerity of its purpose to deal with
all possible Interior questions in the broad
est spirit of friendliness.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart

tons in the territory and to provide for the
laying out Of towns, for the allotment of
lands in the tribes, the leasing of coal and
other mineral timber, farming and grazing

ton of the town sites, which are left to
be disposed of on such conditions as may
be provided by the Secretary of the Inte-
