General to Cuba.
Madrid, March S--A semi-official
note just issued declares that the Span
ish government has not received any
complaint regarding the attitude of
Gen Fitzhugh Lee, the United States
consul general at Havana adding.
ION the contrary, Captain General
Blanco affirms that Gen. Lees be
havior has always been correct. Never
theless the incident serves to explain
the origin of the ill-will between the
two countries. This is proved by
statements attributed to Secretary
Sherman, by which the jingoes have
created the belief in the United States
that Spain is trying to provoke war,
while at the same time engendering
the feeling in Spain that it is the Uni
ted States which demands the open
ing of hostilities. 1t is essential that
this double game should be ended in
order to prevent the two countries from
going to war without motives. and
without either of them desiring it.

ESGLAND,s MONROE DOCTRINE.

England has adopted sort OF Mon
roe doctrine for the preservation of the
integrity OF China, but it appears that
the Russian bear has already broken
through il and bulldozed China into
prompt compliance to the Cars de-
mands regarding Port Arthur,
China giving Russia s9-year
lease. Meanwhile an advance
of Russian troops threatens Eng
lands interests. What will Eng
land do to back up her new Monroe
doctrine in view of the present sit
uation?
Englands Monroe doctrine was set
forth a few weeks ago by Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach in a speech at Swansea
He declared that no territorial acqul-
sitions were wanted in China. There
was no thought of meddling with the
rights, already gained OF other powers
there. But said the Chancellor OF
the Excheauer, we do not regard Chi
ma as a place for conquest or acquisi-
ton by any European or other power.
We look upon it as the most hopeful
Mace of the future for the commerce
OF our country and the commerce Of
the world at large. And the govern
ment is absolutely determined, at
whatever cost, even if necessary at
the cost of war, that that door shall
not be shut.
Between that utterance and Monroe S
message of 1923, as a writer in the
Fortnightly Review points out, the
resemblance is striking and signifi-
can't
President Monroe said: The Amer
lean continents are henceforth not to
be considered subjects for colonial
ton by any European powers.
England's Monroe doctrine, as de-
fined by the Chancellor of the Elk
chequer is that 1--WE do not regard
China as place for conquest or COL
onization by any European or other
power" The parallel is completed by
adding TO the American Monroe doc
.rine that any breach of it would be
regarded "as the manifestation of an
unfriendly disposition toward the Uni
ed States and any violation of the
English Monroe doctrine is to be re-
sisted by Great Britain, even, if nee
essary, at the cost of war"
In proclaiming this policy Great
Britain has not only served notice upon
her European enemies that no parti-
ton of China must be attempted. but
she has also justified the fixed inter
national policy of the United States
The time may come when the two
great English-speaking nations will
join forces to protect both doctrines.
Meanwhile Russia seems to be SUI
premely Indifferent to the pew Eng
lish Monroe doctrine

The manager of the Vulcan works
at Stettin, Germany, cabled a denial
OF the rumor that Spain had bought
three cruisers there, and England is
said to have taken an option on all
available warships building in Brit
ain, in anticipation of possible war
with France. So Spain is neither buy
ing warships nor borrowing money
She is probably unable 10 do either,
but the most plausible explanation is
that even Spanish pride and arrogance
have finally realized what a war wl,f
the United States would mean. namely
the loss not only of Cuba but of the
Philippines and the destruction of her
navy.

ed so generous that it was thought best

1t was ordained by royal decree that
the Cubans should have their own
deputies municipalities and councils
general" But no sooner was Spain
in full possession of things than it
began to bring about restoration of
the old regime. 1t was not long be-
fore Cuba had as little to say in its
own affairs as formerly, and was tax
ed just as relentlessly.
Any end of the present war which
Spain would simply bequeath 10 the
future another war for independence,
with all of its attendant destruction
of life and property. The insurgents
understand how futile is any attempt
ed compromise with their enemies. and
will have none of it. The American
people understand that there is no so

save by cutting its Gordon knot with
Cuban liberty That knot is going to
be cut ere long.
