nize as fully now as then that the ISSUANCE
of a proclamation of neutrality, (which
process the so-called recognition 0 bel
ligerence is published, could, of itself and
unattended by other action, accomplish
nothing toward the one end for which we
labor, the instant pacification of Cuba and
the cessation of the misery that attiicts the
island.
Precedents from History.
Turning to the question of recognizing
at this time the independence Of the pres
ent insurgent government in CUBA, we find
safe precedents in our history from an
early day. They are we'll summed up in
President JackSon'S message to congress
December q, 1886, on the subject of the
recognition of the independence of Texas
He said: I'm all the contests that have
arisen out of the revolutions of France,
out of the disputes relating to the crews
of Portugal and Spain, out of the Separa-
ton of tins American possessions of both
from the European governments, and out
Of the numerous and constantly occurring
struggles for dominion in Spanish Amer
lea, so wisely consistent with our just
principles has been the action of our gov
ernment that we have, under the most
sure, and encountered no other evil than
that. produced by a transient eStrange-
ment of good will in those against whom
we have been by force of evidence COM
PEELED to decide.
Our Established Policy.
eft was thus made known to the world
that the uniform policy and practice of the
United States is to avoid all interference
in disputes which merely relate to the in
ternal government of other nations, and
eventually to recognize the authority of
the prevailing party without reference to
our particular interests and views or to
the merits of the original controversy.
But on this, as on every other trying oc-
casion, safety is to be found in a rigid
adherence to principle
In the contest between Spain and the re-
volted colonies we stood aloof and waited
not only until the ability of the new states
to protect themselves was fully estab-
ilshed, but until the danger of their being
again subjUgated had entirely passed
away. Then, and rot until then, were they
recognized. Such was our course in regard
to Mexico herself.
The Texas Case.
cit is true that with regard to Texas the
civil authority Of Mexico has been expelled
it's invading army defeated, the chief of the
republic himself captured, and all present
eminent of to-day annihiIated within it's
confines. But on the other hand, there is, in
appearance at least, ar immense disparity
of physical force on the side of Texas.
The Mexican republic under another eXecu-
tive is rallying its forces under new
leader, and menacing fresh invasion to
recover its lost dominion.
Upon the issue of this threatened in
vasiOn, the independence Of Texas may be
considered as suspended and were there
nothing peculiar in the situation of the
United States and Texas, our acknowledge
ment of its independence at such a crisis
could scarcely be regarded as consistent
with that prudent reserve withsWhlch we

Washington, April 1.-THE state depart

proclamation ordering a cessation of hos

ish minister here, and by him delivered to
the department. The proclamation is as
follows:
His majesty's government, yielding to
the reiterated wish expressed by his holt
ness, the pope, has been pleased to decree

or is not Independent beyond peradventure
NOT from the standpoint of expedience do
1 think 1t would be wise or prudent for this
government to rec0g niZe at the present
time the independence of the So-called
Cuban republic. Such recognition is not
necessary in order to enable the United
States to intervene and pacify the island.
TO commit this country now to the recog-
nlClon or any particular government in
cuba might subject US to embarra sSing
conditions of international obligation to-
wards the organization so recognized. In
case Oh intervention our conduct would be
subject to the approval or diSapproVal of
such government; we would be required to
submit to its direction and to assume TO
II the mere relations of a friendly ally.
When 1t shall appear hereafter that there
is within the island a government capa BILE
of performing the duties and discharging
the functions of a separate nation, and haV-
ing as a matter of fact the proper forms
and attributes of nationality, such govern
menG can be promptly and readily recog-
nized, and the relations and interests of the
United States with such nation adjusted.
Our Alternatives.
There remain the alternative forms Of in
terVentiCn to end the war, either as an
impartial neutral by imposing a rational
compromise between the contestants, or
as the active ally of the one party or the
other.
AS to the first, it is not to be forgotten
lation of the United States has virtually
been one of friendly intervention in many
ways, each not of itself conclusive, but
all tending to the eXertion of a potential
influence toward an ultimate pacific re-
suit just and honorable to all interests
concerned. The spirit of all our acts hith-
ertO has been an earnest, unSelfiSh desire
for peace and prosperity in Cuba, unfair
nished by differences between us and Spain
and unstained by the blood of American
citizens.
Intervention JustifabIe.
The forcible intervention of the United
States, as a neutral, to stop the war, ac-
cOrding to the large dictates of humanity,
and following many historical precedents
where neighbOring states have interfered
internecine conflicts beyond their borders,
is justifable on rational grounds. It in

Grounds for Intervention.
be briefly summarized as follows:
put an end to the barbarities, blood
shed, starvation and horrible miseries
now existing there, and which the
parties to the conflict are either I'M
able or unwilling to stop or mitigate.
1t is no answer to say this is all in another
country, belonging to another nation, and
is therefore none of our business. 1t is
specially our duty, for it is right at OUT
door.
Second-We owe it to our citizens in
Cuba to afford them that protection and
indemnity for life and property which no
government there can or will afford, and

Blood
Is Life
Pure Blood.
Is Health.

Without blood circulating through your
veins you could not live. Without pure
blood you cannot be well The healthy
action of every organ depends upon the
purity and richness Of the blood by which
it is nourished and sustained. If you
have salt rheum, scrofula sores, pimples,
boils or any kind of humor, your blood IS
not pure. If you take Hoods Sarsaparilla
it will make your blood pure and promptly
relieve all these troubles. In the spring
ne blood IS loaded with impurities.
Hence, all those unsightly eruptions, that
languor and depression, and the danger OF
serious illness. Hoods Sarsaparilla is
needed to purify, enrich and vitalize the
blood and protect and fortify the system.
