Law and Nations.

ASaW hl0 ANAAAOAo'
Among the most thoroughly set
tied principles of international law
are these: That every nation, large
or small, has certain natural rights
among which are separate and in
dependent existence, the nainte-
nance of its sovereignty, the exer-
else of the powers of government,
the enjoyment of its own resources,
the protection of its own territory.
These rights are not in dispute in
international law.
China is, and has been for CEN
turtles, an Independent nation, exer.
cising the rights of sovereignty over
large extent of country. Four
great nations are now engaged in
Selling and holding portions of its
territory.
Germany, on the pretext of COM
pensation for the murder of Ger
man missionaries, seized by force
and holds the port of Kiae-Chou
and part of the peninsula of Shan
tung province. 1t is true that this
territory is filched from China un-
der the guise of a ninety-nine
years lease; but no one doubts that
what is thus acquired by force of
threats, backed by men-of-war, is
now to all intents and purposes,
German possession, and no longer
an actual part of China. China
did not refuse reasonable indem-
nifty; but Germany did not want
money, she wanted territory.
Russia has seized, in a similar
way, Port Arthur and Talien- Wan
on lease, with certain important
railroad concessions in the province
of Sinking. Her pretext was only
har greed, and she evidently means
to take over ultimately all Man
rhoorla. She secured her lease by
an ultimatum, allowing China only
few days to consider it, and re-
serves the privilege of renewing the
"lease."
France has also made her de-
mands for considera bic portions of
Yunnan and two or three other
southern provinces, and is believed
to be about to take possession of
Hainan. France has suffered no
injury at the hands of China, and
has no other reason for her inroads
on the empire than her rapacious
nature.
England, too; is figuring for Chi
nese territory. She wants portion
of the province of Kwantung and
perhaps the Yangtse Kiang valley.
Her pretext is the rapacity of the
other powers and the necessity of
protecting her extensive commerce.
Here are four Of the foremost

The United States and Spain.

The troubles between the United
States and Spain date back to the
days of the revolution. After the
revolution the Americans had much
trouble with Spain about the navi-
CATION of the Mississippi. Spain
owning the territory on the west
bank of the river, and on both
banks near the rivers mouth, from
1863 to 1900, when she retroceded
it to France.
In the second decade of this CEN
fury Florida, which was Spanish
Territory, threatened to create war
between the two countries. Jack
son, during the Seminole conflict,
invaded Florida in 1918 to punish
Indians and whites who made raids
on the people on the American side
of the line. He captured St. Marks
and Pensacola, and hanged Arbuth-
not and Ambruster, British sub
jects, wha gave help to the Semi
noles. This enraged Spain, but as
she saw that the United States
could seize and hold Florida at any
time, in spite of all her efforts to
retain it, she was frightened into
signing treaty ceding Florida to
the United States in return for the
assumption by this country of
claims of American citizens am
bunting to about SIS, 100000 against
Spain.
Cuba, however, has been the
principal cause of controversy be-
tween the two countries. In one
degree and another that island has
had connection with American
politics ever since the administra-
ton of John Quincy Adams.
Arojects have several times in the
past 90 years been started to buy
it. Buchanan, Mason and Soule.
in the Ostend manifesto of 1854.
advised the Pierce administration
to buy Cuba, or to seize it if Spain
refused to sell.
The tilibustering expeditions
from the United States in the forties
and tifties to capture Cuba were a
cause of considerable annoyance to
this country. The Cuban rebellion
of lS6S.7S threatened several times
TO bring this country into the
trouble. In 1878 when the Viz
ginius was captured in Cuban wat
ers, and some Americans whom she
carried were executed, the excite
mentin this country was high.
Spain made PREPARATION for the out
rage. 1t was found, moreover, that
the Nlrginius was not entitled to
sail under the American flag. vet
the incident brought an attack by
the United States on Spain nearer
than any other time in our history
except at the present moment.

was laid by Cavaignac ami other war min

II Is declared that this document was a
lester from Baron Freedericksz, the Rus

and addressed to thu French military au-
thorilies, stating that the traitor at the
Paris Intelligence department responsible
for tho sale OF secrets to the German gen

procuring Tho condemnation, II has since

war mliaistry, but subsequently Freeder-
icksz Is said TO haye ascertained that he
had been grossly dacssped, doubtless by one
of the agents OF Esterhazy and Henry. who
were ANXIOUS TO fix the guilt upon nreyfus

The reason given for the holding OF the
