BRITISH OFFICIAL IMPRISONED
Spain Now Has An Account to Settle
With England

New York, June "a copyrighted
special from ST. Thomas, D. W. T.. to
the Evening Journal says:
Suspected of having furnished the
United States with Information of San
Juan harbor. Walter Bett, secretary of
the British consulate at that port, has
received his passports and been BAN
ished from Porto Rico, by order of
Governor General Macias. Mr.. Bett
was imprisoned in dungeon for SO
hours, and during that time was sub
jected to gross maltreatment. British
Consul General Crawford has made
| formal protest TO his government, and
serious international complications are
imminent.
The day after the bombardment of
San Juan by the ships of Admiral
Sampson, General Macias caused an
extensive system of mines to be in
stalled in the outer harbor in anticipa-
ton of a return of the ships and a
subsequent bombardment. Although
the greatest care and secrecy were
observed by the Spanish in mining the
harbOr, the details of the work were
conveyed to the American consul gem
eral, Hanna. He is now making an
extensive report Of the operations to
the navy department. In some way
General Macias learned of this, and
as the British consulate has been
guarding American interests in Porto
Rico since the withdrawal of Mr.. Han
ma, he at once suspected that English
men have conveyed the news to the
United States officials. Upon Secre-
tary Belts General Macias visited most
of his wrath. The British official was
practically accused of having revealed
the military operations, and he was
dragged off to a dungeon. There he
was kept for 56 hours. in the face of
the protests of Consul General Craw-
ford.
The military plans of General Macias
were not disclosed to Mr.. Hanna by
British officials or subjects, but by
trusted officers attached to General
MaciaS' staff

DOING AS THE ROMANS DO.


Nations, no less than individuals, are
under the injunction to do at Rome as
the Romans do. If the United States
are going to Rome the United States
viii be under the necessity of doing
there as the Romans do. In other
words. if the United States are going
to participate in international politics,
then the United States will be under
the necessity of preparing for such par
ticipation the same as other ma
tons do.i
We can very easily participate in in
ternational politics, but we must pay
the cost of it, and it will be infinitely
greater than the cost of the policy of
minding our own business has been in
the past, that policy under which the
nation has grown so rich and powerful,
has had such an abundance of peace
and prosperity. Participation in inter-
national politics means international
complications, and that there must be
preparation for the consequences of
them. Participation in International
politics, if it is intended to influence
directly the cause Of the worlds affairs,
VIII neceSSitate the maintenance of a
large standing army and powerful
navy, much larger and more powerful
than any preparation for defense can
require, for there will be need for an
army and navy for offense. The Ro-
mans have these, and if we insist on
going to Rome we also must have them.
Nor is this all. AS there must be
preparation for material change with
participation in international politics,
so there should be preparation for
moral and social changes. We must be
content to acknowledge secretly, if it
is not to be avowed openly, that we
have been struck with the lust of power
and dominion; that life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness are no longer
worthy to be the aim and object of a
great people. a powerful nation. 1t is
frequently said that we have outgrown
the limitations we have put upon our
selves in the past. And yet the limit
atoms of that past cts but a hundred
and twenty-five years old) have made
it the grandest, the noblest, the most
humane that any nation ever had But
we are to break with that past and
enter upon a career of nobler destiny;
we are to assimilate ourselves to the
world, for what we have held to be
patriotism in the past is to be held as
parochialism in the future.
Before the first step in the new
tangled forward movement is taken, it
would be well to have it definitely de-
termined whether it is advancement or.
atavism. 1t should also be remembered
that at Rome people are expected to do
as the Romans do.

TALES OF THE DAY.
Speech Against BANQUET.

Ex-Governor Peck, of Wisconsin. tells
this on himself: ct was some Grand
Army affair. l don't recollect what. l
was to speak in one room, and upstairs
the relief was serving dinner to the Grand
Army men, 300 at a. time. One batch was
safely at the table when l was intro
duced. and l stood up 10 give what | had
fixed up as pretty presentable speech. l
had no sooner begun with what seemed a
neat introduction when the cook. clad in
a suggestive white apron. appeared in
the doorway at the back of the hall, and
announced in an. ordinary tone of voice,
There is room now for about 800 at the
tables.
well, there were about 300 in my au-
dience, and the crowd. to a man. got up
and started for the door, And there L
was left with no audience and no dinner.
l managed to call TO them as they went
that that settled 1t; that l had talked
against a brass band and a horse race,
but never before against banquet in full
swing"

ON THE MARCH.

Down the canon of the street.
Hear the muffied marching feet
Hear the thousand-throated hum,
As the soldiers nearer come,
Eagerly the people crowd:
Family now, and now more loud
While we listen. breathless, dumb,
Comes the droning of the drum:
Rika-tek, rika-tek rika-tek TEX TEX,
Rika-tek. rika-tek. rika-tek TEX tex,
Rika-tek, TEX TEX
Rika-tek, tex TEX
Rika-tek, rika-tek. rika-tek tex TEX
Now the marching men have passed;
We have watched them to the last,
Till the column disappears
In mist of sudden tears.
Loves and hates before ungueSSed
Tremble in the troubled breast;
Loves and hates and hopes and fears,
Waking from the sleep of years,
At our country's calling come,
To the rolling of the drum.
So the night comes on apace,
Settles on each solemn face:
While we pray with hearts of fire,
While a wistful, wild desire
Follows where the dangers are,
Where the battles blaze afar-
Till our heroes homeward come,
And we hear the victor drum.

REPUBLICANS ON FUSION.

The Provo Enquirer refers to the silver
wing of the Republican party thus: The
only way to build up the Republican party
again is for the Republicans to stand
their ground without any entangling al
liances with Populists or any other in
significant third party"
The Ogden Press, commenting on this
matte, says: The Evening Press does
not believe that fusion was ever a benefit
to any party. 1t may have given at times
the control OF a few offices at times when
it could not have gotten them otherwise,
but it is always at sacrifice OF party
principles and in the end harmed the
party more than the advantage of office
holding did it good.''
Fusion did not work in Oregon" says
the Provo administration organ. 1t adds:
Tho poor success of fusion in that state
is but an indication of what it will be in
other states of the west

let me not be understood as capable of
patronizing infidelity to existing en-
gagements. 1 hold the maxim no less
applicable to public than to private
affairs, that honesty is always the best
policy. 1 repeat, therefore, let those
engagements be observed in their gen
uine sense. But, in my opinion, it is
unnecessary and would be unwise to
extend them.
Taking care always to keep ourselves
by suitable establishments on re-
spectacle defensive posture, we may
safely trust to temporary alliances for
extraordinary emergencies.

Again the Tribune is trying to create
the impression that Mr.. Mcdaniel is a
candidate for the congressional nom
ination on the Democratic ticket. The
Herald reiterates that Mr.. Mcdaniel
will only consent to become a candi-
date in the event that Mr.. P. H. Lam
nan is congressional candidate, which
now seems probable, judging from the
manner in which the Tribune insists
that Mr.. Mcdaniel will be candidate.

Here is an item for the advocates of a
large standing army to consider. A
Berlin dispatch says that two army
officers recently assaulted three civil

Prussia. Two of the civilians were Sc

felled one of the officers, took his sa-
bre from him, and broke it. The officer
thereupon called the patrol, COM

bullets, and then withdrew under their
