The Grounds for Intervention

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
The principal justification which has been
urged, and the principal reason why the
! United States should interfere in the Gu
! ban war is the inhumanity of the Spanish
government in its treatment of the refu-
gees, or "reconcentrados." Indeed, l
suppose this is the only ground upon which
any student of international law and the
usage of nations would say that the
United States could at this time interfere.
If there are sufficient reasons why the IN
dependence of Cuba should be recognized
then there were hundred times as many
reasons why the independence OF the
southern Confederacy should have been
recognized by the nations of Europe any
time during the civil war. This is so clear
that it is not worth while to discuss the
proposition.
But Miss Clara Barton. the head of the
Red Cross" in America, who has just
returned from Cuba, while fully corrobo-
rating the testimony of Senators Thurston
and Proctor concerning the misery ana
destitution of the non-combatants, or re
concentrates" declares, in an article
published in the current number of the
Outlook, that such suffering and misery
is as much attributable to the insurgents
and the Cuban guerrillas as to the Spanish
She says that each in turn have ravaged
and destroyed their fields and pillaged and
burned their houses, and driven them into
the towns for protection.
If Mrs. Barton's testimony Is true, then
1t is clear that any special condemnation
of the Spanish authorities in Cuba Is un-
Just and contrary to the evidence, and any
interference on that ground could not be
defended upon principles of international
law.
There is, however, some grounds In the
treatise on such law in Valtell and other
authorities for the interference of nations
in each others affairs when a civil war
is being carried on in spirit and manner
of savagery on both sides, as in a case
where each party should put poisoned food
in each others way, or each party should
treat non-combatants with extreme and
unnecessary cruelty.
If such state of affairs exists In Cuba,
then this government might interfere upon
such ground, but not to assist and defend
either side, but to put stop to inhuman
warfare. Are we putting our interfer-
ence on the right ground?

DEADLY CLOUDBURST.
Twenty People Drowned in a Narrow
Tennessee Valley.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 13.-A terrible
cloudburst, in which at least twenty lives
are known to have been sacrificed, was last
night visited upon the community of Beach
Creek, about fifteen miles north of Rogers
vile, Tenn, which place is eighty miles dis
tant from Knoxville. The torrent of water
fell in the vicinity of the home of William
Figan. a well-to-do farmer, and his entire
family; wife and five children, was drowned
and washed away with the flood. Figan,
however, escaped. The deluge of water car
ried with it every other human within it's
reach and the only names of the lost re-
ported here up to a late hour tonight, in
addition to the Figan family are John Ar
mold and Samuel Henry and wife. These
people resided within a quarter of a mile Of
the Figan home. This information was re-
ceived in this city by special friends of the
deceased. Searching parties have been
formed and are tonight looking for the
bodies of the unfortunates who persisted in
the flood. 1t is. however, feared that they
have been carried to graves from which
they may never be recovered.
The cloudburst destroyed several thou
sand dollars worth OF property. Whole
crops were washed away and palatial homes
suffered the same fate as the humblest hut
in the path of the flood. 1t has been impos-
sible to communicate with the stricken COM
munity from this city on account Of the
fact that all wire communication has been
interrupted. The complete details of the
disaster are, however, expected by to-mor-
row night, coming by mail. The reports
that have been received up to late hour
tonight make it the most terrible affair of
its kind experienced in this section for many
