HONOR OF OUR FLAG.
IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GUARDED
FROM INSULT.
Some War Preparations That Followed
Cases Not Wholly Unlike That OF the
Maine-John Bull Has Invariably Been
the Chief Offender.

There are large number of prece-
dents which might aid in shaping ac-
tion in the Maine case when the facts
are fully established. While none of
the cases show the fearful loss of life
caused by the Maine explosion, yet
they include many instances in which
the United States had adopted energet-
lc measures to redress the killing of
american citizens in foreign coun-
tries. In a general way these meth
DDS of redress have included demands
Tor indemnity, proclamations exclud-
ing war ships of the offending nation
from the United States harbors. Is
play of force. non-intercourse, with
drawal of the minister, reprisal and
blockade. Some of these steps bor-
der closely on war, although they are
regarded as movements just prelimin-
airy to actual hostilities and as
amounting to a threat that force will
follow If reparation is not made.
The case of the Water Witch is con-
sidered to be the most nearly analo
gous to that of the Maine, should it be
established that the Maine disaster
was not the result of accident The
Water Witch was United States ship
engaged in 1855 in surveying the en-
trance to one of the rivers of Para
quay. Without warning, and by or
ders OF President Lopez. of Paraguay,
force of troops opened fire - the
Water Witch, killing one man at the
helm and wounding others. Intense
feeling was aroused in the United
States when the facts became known.
The President reported the facts to
Congress. and in his message asked
authority to make a demonstration of
force which would insure suitable re-
| dress.
In response Congress authorized him
| to "use such force as is necessary" to
secure ample reparation. Accordingly
an armed fleet was hastily assembled

On a scale which was regarded as re-
markable for those days. The expedi-
ton included nineteen shirs, twenty
Eve heavy guns and two thousand five
hundred sailors and marines. Ac-
companying this fleet were civilian
nlenipotentiaries prepared to present
the demands of this government and
enforce them by calling on the fleet
The expedition made formidable
showing in South American waters,
and President Lopez government was
awed into complete subsection by lis
presence. The American commits
sioners and naval officers were receiv-
ed at Asuncion with much honor, and
every reparation within the power Of
the republic was given. This included
an abject apology, sweeping dlsa-
yowal. and $4,000 for the sufferers
from the outrage. AS the republic was
willing to grant full reparation, the
naval expedition did not exert the force
II was prepared to use in case Of re-
,usal. When the facts of the expedi-
ion were reported to Congress, the
President said that the dispatch of this
formidable naval fleet had had salu-
.ary influence tbToughoI. the wcrli.

the difficult task of adjusting the diff

Congress on the Cuban resolutions be-

houses split is the recognition of the
independence of the existing republic,
which was incorporated in the Senate
resolutions. Were that clause of the
Senate resolution eliminated nothing
could have prevented immediate con-
currence by the House, as the great
majority of the Republicans of the
lower branch of Congress are eager
for a conclusion. But the action of the

rect and specific recommendation of
