You have enemies; yes, many. But there

INDEPENDENT ARBITRATION.
(From the Hartford Post.)


The two questions now before the public
mind in connection with Cuban affairs
are: "Shall we recognize the indepen-
d snce of Cuba?'' and "Shall we submit
issue raised by the Maine disaster to axbi-
tration?'' AS the Post has repeatedly re-
minded its readers, the two subjects have
absolutely nothing whatever to do with
each other. The Maine issue-if one be
raised-must be settled by itself. After
that, or pending that, If we choose to go
into the question of recognizing Cuban
independence, we can do so. But let no
one confuse the two SUBJECTS.
It would be amusing, If it were not 80
sad commentary upon the average OF
human intelligence, to hear the cries
whioa are now going up On all sides
against submitting the Maine case to ar
bitration. Sneers of "blood money" and
the "sale of human lives'' fill the air.
There is no question of 'blood money"
presented. II our board OF inquiry makes
q report which shows that the Spanish
authorities, though not deliberately re-
sponsible, were culpably negligent and
therefore liable in damages, it Will be our
business to demand compensation for the
loss of the ship and proper provision for
the maintenance of the families dependent
upon the men who were killed. If
Spain's board of inquiry reports a con-
trary conclusion, that can make no differ
ence to us, and we must persist in our
demand. 1t will then remain for Spain
to put in her request for arbitration. If
anyone is going to howl down the arbi
tration idea, then will be the time to do
it-not now.
But even then, what good ground will
there be for opposing the reference of the
question Of damages to q court of arbi-
tration? We did not consider as "blood
money" the damages received for the Vir
ginius affair, yet that was case involv
ing much more of pure sentiment than
the disaster 80 the Maine. We have not
the congregation of nations, by submit
ting our difference with Great Britain
over the Alabama claims or the fisheries
to arbitration. On the contr sry our con-
duct In these matters has won for us a
first place in the esteem of the civilized
world, as not only worthy of all our repu
tation for Yankee common sense, but fit
ting our position as teacher and ex-
eInplar for our sister nations. AS for the
q estion of recognizing the independence
Of Cuba, do the fanatics who are urging
such course never pause to think what
il IS they are asking us to recognizes
government without definite organization
Without frontier. without seaport,
without navy, without postal system,
without treasury. without courts, with
ont even local habitation where it can
be visited by anyone who wishes to do
bus ness with it? In private life, do we
conduct important trade, or correspond
ence, or other negotiations, with persons,
no matter what their pretensions, who
C rry their offices in their hats, who ven
re out only at night, or who reach the
H.yld only through back alleys? Dc we
mt demand that before he asks for
'srtcognition'' by his fellows in society
AMI commerce, a man shall have known
Asadquarters and be able to walk freely
through the public streets in the full
tight of MONDAY?

PHELAN HAS
DECAMPED
Detectives Went to Lubec,
Nc. After Him.
WANTED TO ARREST HIM.
Stockholders Will Bring Suits
Against Directors.
WANTED TO ARREST HIM.
SALT WATER GOLD MINE FIzzLE

Chief Watts and Inspector Houghton
rived in North Lubec. Me-, just in time
to miss Phelan, the detective, who has
been so prominently identified with the
Rev. Mr.. Jernegan and the Electrolytic
Marine Salts Company, and was eagerly
desired by the Doston detectives. Phe-
Ian, however, decamped just in time
to escape arrest and with him departed
a young lawyer named Leonard.
This young man is the son of an at
torney at 243 Broadway. New York,
who represents a stockholder named
Mech, whose home is at Middletown,
Conn. His actions seem proper and
just, but the officers are getting more
and more suspicious of Phelan, who
was one OF the earliest assistants of
Jernegan and Fisher, in their expert
ments on the Connecticut and Rhode
Island coast, although he has had no
connection with the company Nhich
was formed, and is not known by any
of the present officers of the company.
Several days ago Chief Inspector Watts
inspected his record and found there
a biography and a picture of one Will
liam c. Phelan, who had at one time been
a private detective, and who had been
a crook. This Phelan was Boston
man.
RECOGNIZED PICTURE.
This picture of Phelan was sent to
New York and several persons said 1t
looked like the man who exposed Jer-
negan's methods through the columns
of the New York Herald AS the pic
ture was taken some Is years ago. they
would not be positive. but they said
there was a strong resemblance. None
of the officers of the company had ever
seen Phelan, and they knew nothing
about him. except what Jernegan once
told Mr.. Ryan in the course of con-
versation. Jernegan admitted that
Phelan had at one time been a GRIM
inal, but asserted that he was an honest
<time Of the conversation an honest
man.
SUITS TO BE BROUGHT.
1t is understood that several suits
will be brought by stockholders against
the officers of the company and one OF
these stockholders. who holds big
block of shares, has gone to North
Lubec, to look into matters for him
self. He said: while Messrs Usher
and Sawyer are unquestionably honest
they may both find it hard to keeT
themselves out OF the courts. Already
/ am assured that legal action against
these gentleman has been begun.
understand that no less than three dis
tinct suits have been begun against
them" The officers. directors and 6
committee of stockholders are expected
to arrive at the plant today.
Quite a number of people in Melrose
Mass, are known to have invested II
the Jernegan scheme, and particularly
SO at Melrose Highlands. where tn,
Rev. Mr.. Fullar and several other pro
moters live. 1t is said that $1I5,000 o.
Melrose money is invested in salt watel
gold, but this probably is an exaggera
tion. About one-half would be nearel
the truth.
