desirable that when Geographic COM
munications must cease, as the result
of n state OF war" the steps taken
must be limited to measures strictly
necessary to prevent the use of the ca
BILE and that an end should be put to
these measures and that the conse-
quences should be repaired as soon as
the cessation of hostilities permit" and
that "a submarine telegraph cshlo
which unites two neutral governments
is inviolablc." This seems to be a rea-
sonable view of the matter, and 1t
should commend itself to all civilized
powers unhappily engaged in war.
1t has been argued. furthermore, that
in most cases the closing OF a cable
terminus within the actual Jurisdiction
OF the belligerent would satisfy the bel
ligerent right. If 1t is to be admitted as
n right, and that the destruction OF ca
bles even between enemies countries
Would therefore not be justifable as a
war measure. Advanced publicists have
even insisted that n belligerent has no
right over n cable connecting the terri
tory of his adversary with neutral ter
ritory except in case of blockade. To
what extent the principles above adj
vocated would be respected by war
making power Is extremely uncertain,
and the necessity OF cutting of an en-
emy's means of communication might
be appealed to in justification even OF
the destruction Of a cable between neu-
trail territories.
The only really effective safeguard
would be the absolute naturalization OF
ocean cables. but that Is principle to
the strict observance OF which few pow.
crs would care to bind themselves.

attempt to destroy North American
republic. II was IA notable Instance of
returning good for evil-a characteristic
that as Il nation we consider necessary
for which the people south of the Rio
Grande have since exhibited their APP
probation.
II history bears any lesson to us, It Is
that we must not expect gratitude. but
rather sullen anmosity, from those
whom we have assisted In their hour of
need, as there seems to be an organic,
inherent antagonlsm between the An
glo-Saxon and the Latin races that
neither time nor place nor the debt OF
gratitude Will ever allay. Experience
teaches us also that II n government, n
country or province In our environ
ment is too weak to withstand the
predatory attacks OF n hostile nation
without Just cause OF offense the condi-
ton can only be remedied by taking
that people under our care and en-
blazoning a new star on the flag.
As an independent country Cuba may
possibly he subjected to an attempt at
reconquest on the part OF Spain. Our
necessary action would then be per-
fectly clear and determined. and there
could not be any method Of evasion by
which we would shrink from an I'M
pleasant duty. The Monroe doctrine
gathers strength as the years roll by.
But the complications Of the future
are In reality more portentous and
threatening to US as n nation than this
present conflict with body of inefIi-
Client, vicious soldiery. Just what the
effect of our noble work of liberation of
an oppressed people will be, however,
time alone can determine.

Very similar is our position toward
Puerto Rico. though diplomatic settle
ment would determine whether It be
held by us or placed In the hands of Its
patriots to exist az an independent re-
public. There is in the opinion of many
prominent men lit doubt that the lat
ter disposition of 1t will be made.
There has been 1 determined feeling
throughout the United States ever since
the Virglnlus affair that Spain owes US
something more than the money in
demnity that was then paid for the
blood of helpless victims. though diplo-
macy settled upon cash payment as
restitution for this grievous wrong. 1t
was n butchery only comparable with
the days OF the Goths and Vandals, the
triumphal march of a Roman legion or
the time when a Duke OF Alya caused
the. streets of Antwerp to run with
blood.

and subsequent action by our govern
ment or the orders OF the military die
tator. as our governing representative
would certainly be for a time, will de-
terminc the method of procedure. The
United States will assuredly not take
into consideration the ACCESSIBILITY Of
holding Cuba as territory acquired by
contest. because sentimentally II has
lnterfered to aid the inhabitants who
have been struggling to free themselves
from Spanish domination. II could not
consistently have any such purpose in
View. An action of that Kind would
antagonlze the humane policy of the
world and might even be regarded as
an act OF overt treachery. for the axiom,
might is right" is no longer accepted
as a truism outside of Senegambia.

and when forbearance shall have ceased
to be a virtue 1t will be forced to move

A war between ourselves and the
countries we virtually help to become
free is not one of the impossibllities.
As the first government to acknowledge
the independence OF Mexico, to give her

Explorer Talks of the Arctics.

Lieut.. Peary's illustrated lecture his
northern discoveries and explorations, at the
Church of the Redeemer, Minneapolis, last
night, did not draw the audience which it
merited. scarcely 200 people being present.
The lecture opened with map of the Polar
regions. showing the position Of the pole. and
the greatest height reached by Arctic explor-
ers Following. a series of pictures was
thrown upon the canvas showing the routes
pursued by the various expeditions, including
that followed by Peary in 1896, and depicting
many Of the scenes on the Greenland ice cap
in the struggle from the eastern coast to In
dependence bay, on the extreme northeast.
The illustrations showed animal life, Arctic
landscapes and storms. One of the most
unique was an eclipse Of the midnight sun
seen on Aug. 6. 1896 from Cape York.
In the course Of the lecture Lieut. Peary
said that he felt convinced that the pole will
