SENATE
Central American Republic Minister OBJ
iects to Nicaragua Canal.

1ects to Nicaragua Canal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The session
of the Senate yesterday developed
three distinct sensations. Most i'm.
p%ortant OF these was the presentation
by Mr.. Sherman of n letter from Min.
lister Rodriguez, the representative
Of the Greater Republic of Central
America Including Nicaragua, in eff
feet protesting against the execution
Of the Nicaraguan canal project by the
United States under the concession
granted in 1887. to the Nicaraguan
Canal company. AS the bill for this
purpose was about to be voted IN by
the Senate, the appearance of the let
ter created CONSERVATION among its
friends.
Mr.. Morgan, its chief supporter, at
once declared the letter was inspired
by Great Britain, who sought to drive
the United States from the isthmus by
using the Central Americas as q cats
paw. He asserted Minister Rodriguez
had ZONE here to execute such a plan,
and that II was an open threat against
American control of the canal. The
debate vas very earnest, and the letter
made q profound impression on the
Senators. Senator Villas declared 1t
struck q death blow to the canal pro-
ject proposed by the pending bill.
Earlier in the day tho Senate unex
pectedly found itself discussing the
new Anglo-American treaty. While
the treaty itself has been released, all
discussion Of 1t Is restricted to ex-
e~cutivs sessions. Notwithstanding
this rule the expressions were free and
full from Messrs. Sherman, Gray, Gull
}om, Lodge, Hoar, Stewart and Others.
The statements of these Senators were
uniformly favorable TO the high prin-
pie of the treaty, the only qualification
being that 1t should receive mature
and dispassionate consideration.
Shortly after the session began Mr..
Turpie caused n preliminary furry by
criticising the reported agreement be-
tween Mr.. Olney and Mr.. Sherman by
which nc action was to be taken as to
Cuba before March 4. Mr.. Sherman
emphatically denied that any such
agreement had been made, and added
he had not had a word with Mr.. Olney
In that direction.
Mr.. Turpie gave notice Of a speech
on the Cameron Cuban resolution on
Monday. These three incidents relat-
ing TO current foreign questions made
the days session of the most %eventful
In years.

SPANISH BOAT
Insurgents Fire Upon and Take tho
Comets and Burn tho Vessel

Comets and Burn tho Vessel
KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 90. THE Span
ish gunboat Cometa, one Of the most
powerful OF the smaller Spanish YES
sells in Cuban waters, had been cruis-
ing near Cardenas to prevent the land
ing of fillibustering expeditions. For
some time the boat had been nc
customed to anchor Mt night off
Sierra Morena. The place where
the gunboat anchored was favorable
for an attack from shore. The insur-
gents opened on the vessel with u
twelve pound Hotchlsiss gun. The
vessel was struck several times and
badly damaged by shells and while the
crew was in confusion boats loaded
with insurgents left the shore and the
Cometa was boarded.
A desperate hand to hand conflict
took place on the deck Of the gunboat.
The Cubans used the machcte with
deadly effect and finally, after the
Spanish commander and half his men
had been killed, the survivors surren-
dered. The insurgents sen the prison
ers ashore and then looted the vessel,
securing a great quantity of ammuni-
ton, many cutlasses and pistols and a
few rifles. Two ouick-firing cannon
were also removed. The insurgents
then fred the boat, which was soon
burned to the waters edge.

EVANGELICAL WORK.

The annual report of the Ha-
waiian Evangelical Association Tor
1867 is out. 1t contains valua-
BILE matter, for it shows the large
work done by Christian phllan-
thropists here.
If the Sugar god were set up IN
brass in this town, as the image OF
Budda is set up near Yokohama,
he would be over 800 feet high,
and would be the only evidence OF
"civilization" seen at a distance OF
thirty miles, looking from the sea.
AS the traveller worked close to the
shore he would see some other evl-
dences. This god is not yet IN
brass. but he is here, and his spir-
itual presence is awfully emphatic.
He loves heather because they
work cheaply and dump great
quantities of sugar on his altar.
Is there any one here trying to
upset him. Yes. Read this report
and see. 1t shows that the Sugar
cod has not "coralled' all good
men and women. Some Chris
tan men and women devote them
selves to making Christians OF
these many alien serfs.
Our school system is, of course,
of the greatest value. But the
building up of character is the
need among the races with feeble
moral strength. This evangelical
work touches the spiritual side,
and that is the side on which char
acter lies.

NEGRO LABOR.

For personal reasons, we would
favor the scheme Of negro lmml-
grafton. For public and economic
reasons we must oppose it.
When the planters were looking
about for laborers in 1880, negro
immigration was considered. Gen.
Armstrong of Hampton, Va, who
had as much, if not more knowl-
edge of the social condition OF the
negro than any other man IN the
Southern States, reviewed the mat
ter and pronounced strongly
against it. The many reasons
which he then gave for opposing
this immigration have increased IN
force since that time. We feel as
sured that if Booker t. Washing
ton of Tuskegee, Alabama, the
foremost negro of the Southern
States. we're consulted, he would
give the same answer that was
given by his instructor in 1880.
On general grounds, we do not
wish the negro in our peculiar so
cial and political system. lie must
indeed be grossly ignorant OF the
political history of the South since
the war. who would make the ne
gro the basis of any political com
munity. Through his ignorance
he strikes always at the pillars OF
good government. The negro IS
in the States. He cannot be driven
out. The South is simply making
the sebest of it." which means point
ical ostracism and the shotgun. 1t
;s a supreme necessity. Booker L.
Washington asks for a century OF
education for them. There Is a
small percentage of good" ne
groes. They will not emigrate'
WHY should they? Land IS DIRT
cheap in the South Any good"
negro can have an Independent
home of his own, if he wishes, and
above all, is willing to work. The
vast tracts of land in the South,
near good markets, are sparsely
settled, and the negro, as com
nared with the Asiatics, at home,
where land is dear, from Japan to
India. is in Paradise. Why
should he leave it!

While there are many good"
negroes in the South, we say that
any general scheme for supplying
our plantations with negro labor
ers will fail in the end. Nor, I'M
der annexation, can the negro be
put under contract. As for volun-
tarily keeping his contracts, no one
in the South has heard of it, UNI
less he was under some pressure.

The condition of the negro has
greatly changed within twenty
wears. The old negroes, trained
to work under the slavery system,
are diving out. The present genera
ton is unsettled, gets away from
the country, if it can; and idles in
the towns. 1t turns its back on
the great stretches of fine land,
near markets. The contractors for
building railroads now largely
employ italian laborers in the very
heart of the South. Any negro in
the South. if he is industrious and
fairly intelligent, can do better at
home than on our plantations.
