AN UNPLEASANT BIT OF HISTORY.
How We Failed to Get st. Thomas in
JOhnsOn's Administration.
in Review of Reviews.

w. NJ Jones' in Review of Reviews.
The failure of the United States Senate
to give its advice and consent to the ratifi-
between the executives of the governments
of Denmark and the United States marks
one OF the saddest pages in the entire rec
ord of American diplomacy. The story of
that transaction. though told for a thousand
years to come, will never fail to bring the
blush of shame and remorse to the cheek IF
any true American. Denmark did not come
pounding at the gates OF the American ma
tion and offer for sale two beautiful vir-
gin islands. 1t was the American nation
that sought out the owner of the little group
and then offered 100000 for the three. Ii
was the American nation that sent the De
Soto. with its great secretary of state, to
view the land and afterwards sent the same
little war vessel from st. Thomas TO Wash
ington to bear the special commissioner of
Denmark, Governor Edward Christensen to
the American capital, where he could gain
authentic advices as to the prob
ability of the treatys ratification
before submitting the matter to vote
of the inhabitants of the islands. And it
was the American Senate that finally
ignored the whole proceeding never taking
ary action whatever on the treaty submit
ted to it. and thereby offering a gratuitous,
a wicked. and an unwarranted insult to q
friendly nation: The purchase price agreed
upon was $7.J0e,0e0 1t is true the debt of
the nation was then large: but ii was not
pressing The revenue also was large, and
the price stipulated was bagatelle. 1t is
not true that the reason Mr.. Seward was
not supported by Congress was because of
the then existing national debt Such an
excuse was never given.
Not until the curtain shall rise upon yet
another generation will the careful and
painstak king historian put together the scat
tered facts that bear uDon the diplomatic
incident that eliminated in the treaty re-
feTred to and in its unnatural death by
strangulaticn in the room of the Senate
committee foreign relations Then in
deed the world will learn and the flush of
shame will mantle more than one brow to
know that in the superheated political con-
ditions attendant unon the presentation OF
the Danish treaty the strongest argument
against it's ccnsideration--and the only rea-
son that actuated more then one member
of that august Senate--was the fact that the
President under whom it negotiated
and by whom il was submitted to the Sem
ate was Andrew Johnson. So unreasoning
and so unrea ~onah bile are wise men some

INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATION.
A Matter That Has Nothing to Do
with the Monroe Doctrine.
The independent.


What we call the Monroe doctrine has
nothing to do with this other doctrine Of
our international isolation. The Monroe doc
trine forbids European powers to enlarge
their possessions on this continent. The
converse doctrine is that we should not en-
large our territorial possessions in Europe.
We do not wish to do So But this will not
forbid us to ask the help of some other
power in seeking redress in Turkey or free
dom of trade in China: nor would it for
bid us to take part IN guaranteeing the in
dependence of the Congo Free State
We cannot shirk our duty in the great
International policing of the world. Thus
far we have offered only our moral sup

work of which we have taken the advan-

same rights and facilities of trade in Chi

nor a ship-with nothing but our moral

stand without a friend among the great
powers of the world. and that we impress
them, however unjuStly, as a nation OF
sympathizers and sermonizers and swag-
gerers, without purpose or power to turn
our words into deeds, and not above the
sharp practice of accepting advantages for
which we refuse to pay our share of the
price"
This is harsh language, but it calls us to
a serious reconsideration of our duties, not
merely to ourselves, but to the world. We
are now interfering with the tyranny of a.

may be that we are awakening to a sense
of international obligation which may open

PORTO RICO IS EASY
SEVENTY THOUSAND REVOLUTION
lists WILL WELCOME SAMPSON.
Merchants and influential Men on the
Island Prefer to Be Annexed-Up-
rising at Cienfuegos.

NEW YORK, May s. - The Herald to-
morrow will say: Members of the Porto
Rico revolutionary Junto in this city have
received advices from the West Indies stat
ing that the natives of Porto Rico have
risen at Junieas and Bamar. and that on
the arrival of the United States feet 900
men will take the field against Spain. Ac-
cordng to letters from the island which
have Just arrived, the feeling on the entire
island outside of San Juan is one of hos
tility to Spain and the capture of the ISL
and by this country will be welcomed by
the better class of residents. Robert II.
Todd. the secretary of the Junto, said last
night that the Porto Ricans have only been
waiting for favorable opportunity to
throw off the yoke of Spain.
Personally and officially said he, 81 am
in favor of the independence of the island,
but the majority of merchants and planters,
to my knowledge, prefer annexation to the
United States They fear an independent
republic would soon become like Haiti and
San Domingo and assert that the property
interests of the island would be safer if
under the wing Of this country. or course,
/ cannot advocate anything of the kind
The Junto has been for years working for
the independence of Porto Rico, and we
shall continue on the same line. If the
United States takes possession of the ISL
and however we shall raise no objection.
Hundreds of Porto Rcans who are rev.
olutionists have been obtaining arms recent
ly by volunteering in the service of the ex-
listing government. They are ready to fight
against Spain with her own arms at the first
favorable opportunity, but they will not
fight for Spain against the United States.
Our people are determined to get rid of
Spain now for good and it is secondary
matter with us whether we are Independent
or are annexed to the United States.
General Blanco has endeavored to mis-
lead the Porto Ricans by sending them re-
ports of victories against the American
fleet. When the truth is learned in Porto
Rico there will be great rejoicing, and Ad-
miral Sampson will have all of Porto Rico
at his feet the moment he has captured San

WOODFORD MEETS M'KINLEY.
Explanation of the Passports Incl
dent at Madrid.


WASHINGTON, May S-General Stewart
L. Woodford, United States minister to
Spain, arrived in Washington from New
York this evening shortly before O'Clock.
He went almost directly to the White
House, where he was given most cordial
reception by the President. He remained
in conference with the President until a
late hour the entire Hispano- American
situation being informally and thoroughly
discussed. General Woodford declined to be
interviewed on the subject. He is still in
the diplomatic service, and says that it
would be manifestly improper for him to
make any statement for publicati IN con-
corning his connection with events which
have involved the two nations in d war. 1t
can be said that the President not only gave
General Woodford a cordial reception, but
warmly congratulated him upon his con-
duct of American interests in Madrid. The
President assured him that his work in
Madrid throughout the delicate crisis met
with his entire approval
1t was learned tonight that the admins
tration had q purpose in transmitting to
General Woodtord the ultimatum of the
United States to Spain in open English in
stead of in the State Department cipher,
which is usually Employed in cable corre-
spondence with diplomatic representatives
Ii was expected by the President that the
message to Minister Woodtord would be
laid before the Sagasta Ministry before it
was delivered TO General Woodtord, and in
this he was not incorrect, as events proved.
The message was delayed many hours in
delivery and Minister Woodford afterwards
learned that the ultmatum had been in the
hands of Premier Sagasta and had been
considered by the Cabinet long before he
learned it had arrived Thus 1t that
the Spanish government was enabled TO
give him his passports before he had an
opportunity to deliver the ultmatum form
aiIy 10 the Madrid government. The fact
that the ultimatum was not presented to
the Spanish government was entirely salts
factory to the administration, as 1t was in
accordance with the expectation of the
President.

ters were at Barcelona, arrived here to-
