HONOR OF OUR FLAG,
II HAS ALWAYS BEEN GUARDED
FROM INSULT.
Some War Preparations That Followed
Cases Not Wholly Unlike That of the
Mninc-John Bull Has Invariably Been
the Chief offender.

There are a large number of prece-
tion in the Maine case when the facts
are fully established. While none of
the cases show the fearful loss of life
caused by the Maine explosion. yet
they include many instances In which
the United States had adopted energet-
ic measures to redress the killing of
American citizens in foreign coun-
tries. In general way these meth
DDS of redress have included demands
for indemnity. proclamations exclud-
ing war ships of the offending nation
from the United States harbors, d s.
play of force. non-intercourse, with
drawal of the minister, reprisal and
blockade. Some of these steps bor-
der closely on war, although they are
regarded as movements just prelimin-
ary to actual hostilities and as
amounting to threat that force will
follow If reparation is not made.
The case of the Water Witch Is con-
sidered to be the most nearly analo-
gous to that of the Maine. should it be
established that the Maine disaster
was not the result of accident. The
Water Witch was a United States ship
engaged in 1855 in surveying the en-
trance to one of the rivers of Para
quay. Without warning, and by or
ders Of President Lopez, of Paraguay.
a force of troops opened fire - the
Water Witch, killing one man at the
helm and wounding others. Intense
feeling was aroused in the United
States when the facts became known.
The President reported the facts to
Congress. and In his message asked
authority to make a demonstration of
force which would insure suitable re-
dress.
In response Congress authorized him
to ''use such force as is necessary" to
secure ample reparation. Accordingly
an armed fleet was hastily assembled

On n scale which was regarded as re-
markable for those days. The expedi-
ton included nineteen shirs, twenty
FIVE heavy guns and two thousand five
hundred sailors and marines. Ac-
companying this feet were civilian
plenipotentiaries prepared to present
the demands of this government and
enforce them by calling on the fleet.
The expedition made formidable
showing in South American waters,
and President Lopez government was
awed into complete snbjection by lis
presence. The American commits
sIoncrs and naval officers were receiy-
ed at Asuncion with muoh honor, and
every reparation within the power of
the republic was given. This included
an AFFECT apol gy. sweeping dlsa-
yowal. and $4,000 for the sufferers
from the outrage. AS the republic was
Wiling to grant full reparatlon. the

ion were reported to Congress. tho

Mr.. Jonessof Arkansas and Mr.. Hoaf

by the magnitude and possible awful

the most profound feeling for their
country's welfare. As the words fell
from their lips, the chamber thrilled
with an intensity OF interest which
bordered upon awe.
At five minutes past the third and
final reading of the resolution. as

Immediately afterwards came the
question. Shall the resolution pass?
There was general demand for yea

which was incorporated in the Senate
resolutions. Were that clause OF the
Senate resolution eliminated nothing
could have prevented immediate CON
currence by the House. as the great
majority of the Republicans of the
lower branch of Congress are eager
for conclusion. But the action of the
Senate declaring for the recognition of
Cuba's Independence. against the di-
rect and specific. recommendation of
the President. has given the conserva-
tivcs Il rallying cry from the stand
point of party loyalty which proved
very effective to-day. One of the most
prominent Republican leaders ON the
floor of the House denominatcd that

Monte Carlo and tho Grsat Pronts q
tho Casino Company.

Monte Carlo and tho Great Proats q
tho Casino Company.
We hear at intervals OF "the man
who broke the bank OF Monte Carlo"
and more frequently Of unfortunates
whom that institution has broken. Nv
erybody Is familiar with the fairy-likc
aspect OF the place. through innumcr-
able descriptions, views or stage Pic
lures. And the realities are tangible
enough, when we read the periodical
reports of the toy principality's busi-
ness or the pamphlet lately published
by the Casino company relative to it,
dealings with the prince Of Monaco.
The prince lives upon the annual sub
sidy he receives from the gaming es-
tablishment, and his principality-a
tract of less than ten square miles.
with about the population OF a small
American town-is maintained from
the same source. In other words. the
gambling spirit Of polite Europe Is
here concentrated, organized. adminis-
tered and run" with handsome prof.
its by the joint stock company that
leases Monte Carlo and its concessions.
What these profits amount to may be
gathered from some of the figures OF
the statement of expenses given in the
shareholders pamphlet. Last seasons
expenditure of the principality-apart
from the maintenance Of the Casino,
which was $4,170.O 70.O00-amounted to
$65O.OOO. OF the latter sum the prince
received $25O,OO0: the courts. police.
ETC., absorbed 100000; clergy and
schools, $4,000: charities. 100000;
prizes for sports, $55. 900, and the post
office and losses, $4,000. Notwith-
standing these expenditures $2,S80,000
was paid out in dividends on shares.
Summing up, therefore. we find total
revenue of $7.700. 900, representing the
amount left at Monte Carlo by the
fools of the world" for a seasons plea
sure. A large portion of the balance
OF the Casino company's expenditure
not accounted for in the above items is
absorbed by ''press subvenSions,"
amounting altogether to $126.000. ThiD
