,rbe national shame.

The deepest humiliation tina the United
States of America has ever undergone is
that of the present hour, when an Ameri-
ran President has shown himself a coward
and has lowered the Stars and Stripes be-
fore the flag of the wickedest and one OF
the weakest nations.
For This most lamentable action there
Is no possible explanation except the
moral weakness of the man himself ana
the selfish and miserable greed OF the
gang with whom he is associated. he
does not stand for the American people
He does not even stand for the Repub-
lcan party. He stands merely for the
low. sordid gang of brutes who constitute
the machine. who picked him for Presi-
Dental nominee because he was a miser-
able weakling, and who own him and con-
troll him as a dummy man with a face of
wax and a heart of putty.
1t is fortunate that American manhood
still remains ascendant in Congress, and II
that other precious product of Repub-
licanism. Thomas B. Reed, does not de-
clare it out of order, the public honor
may be asserted today by some action
commensurate with the crime of Spain.

A COLONIAL SPANIARD.
Spanish Ambassador Century Ago
and His Marriage to Miss Mexican.

Mr.. Thomas Mexican Metre of
Baltimore, writes as follows:
In 1895 the country was just re-
covering from the revolutionary
struggle, and society was never gayer
than at that time. 1t was during
Washington's administration and
Philadelphia was then the capital.
The dinner was given in June by a
resident of Arch street, whose name
is not mentioned; but suspected to
be General Washington. Among the
first to arrive was Chief Justice Nc
kean accompanied by his lovely
daughter, Miss Sally Mexican. Miss
Mexican had many admirers, but her
heart was still her own. The next
to arrive was Senior Don Carlos Mar
tinez de Yrujo, a stranger to almost
all the guests. He was soon lost in
amazement at the grace and beauty
of Miss Mexican. They were mar
ried April 10, 1898. Senior Don Carlos
Martinez de Yrujo y Tacon was born
at Cartagena, Spain, December 4,
1853. In 1896 he was appointed his
Catholic majesty's envoy extraordi-
nary and minister plenipotentiary
near the government of the United
States. In March, 1897, President
Adams was inaugurated. A con-
temporary describing the ceremonies
mentions Senior Martinez de Yrujo
as follows:
''He was of middle size, Of round
person, ford complexion, and hair
powdered like a SNOWFALL: dark
striped silk acoat, lined with satin;
white waistcoat black silk breeches,
white silk stockings, shoes and
buckles. He had by his side an
elegant hilted small-sword and his
chapeau, tipped with white feathers,
under his arm. In Jefferson's domes-
tic, as we'll as his political house
hold, the marquis (created in 1909
of Casa Yrujo was thoroughly at
home, for he had double title to
confidence, and even to affection. His
first claim was due to his marriage.
His second claim was political. Thus
Yrujo was doubly and trebly attached
to the administration. Proud as
typical Spaniard should be, and
mingling an infusion of vanity with
his pride, irascible, headstrong, in
discreet as was possible for a diplo-
matist, and afraid of no prince or
president; young, able, quick, and
aggressive, devoted to his king and
country; Eighty and dangerous
friend, but most troublesome
enemy; always in difficulties, but in

London, March 26.-It is only within

is distinct from the diplomatic opinion

a Great War Threatened.
Europe as whole and London es-
pecially, continues to take only sec
ondary interest in the Spanish-American
crisis. There are many public men IN
this country at the present moment VINO
believe that war between Great Britain
and Russia and France is as threatening
as between the United States and Spain.
The point has now been reached where
Great Britain ..must fight or abandon the
brave declarauons made during the past
two months by responsible members of
tho cabinet.
It must be admitted that the prevail
ing public opinion. which though almost
uneXpreSsed, still exists, is that the gov
ernment will back down. The only direct
indication to the contrary Is the news
from Hong Kong that every available
British ship must be ready for sea by
next Tuesday.
Sir Claude Macdonald, the British min
lister at Pelin, has once more justified
your correspondent description of him
as the worst informed member of - dl-
plOmatic corps in China. Until le. even
ing he knew nothing of China's surrender
to Russia, the news of which was cabled
to the Times on Thursday.
The British government is actually in
debted to the Times for the news which
was taken to Downing Street by Editor
Buckle at lO:3G that night and caused the
summons of Il cabinet council the next
day. 1t really looks as though Lord Sails
bury and his colleagues had been simple
enough to accept the Russian assurances
literally and that even now they cannot
realize ii is part of RusSia's plan to con-
vert Port Arthur into far eastern Gil
braltar If the British government like
ordinary governments, were bound by it's
own declarations nothing would be left
now but to go to war. The government
deliberately formulated what is now
known as the policy of the open door
and even extended it by accepting a resO-
luton of the house of commons insisting
on the maintenance of the territorial in
tegrity of China.
Territorial Integrity Ended.
1t is doubtful if even a Russian diplo-
mat would now attempt with a straight
face to argue that China's territorial in
/ tegrity is inviolate with the Germans In
possession of Kiao Chow and the Rus
slams of Port Arthur and with Manchu-
ria overrun with Russian troops. Appear
ances may be deceptive but for the mo-
i ment they suggest complete turnabOut
of the British policy involving the formal
abandonment of the territorial integrity

ill-founded Nations before now have
drifted into war, and there are many
weighty reasons which disincline the
French government to arrest the drift
