and it is thought he will be foolish
enough to make an attack upon the
American forces. He is induced TO
take this step because he knows
American reinforcements are on their
way to Manila. His accredited EN-
voy in this country, Agoncillo. may
advise him not to precipitate con
flict, as such an act will unite Amer

ALL AMERICAN REPUBLICS IN
International Union of American Re-
pubIics Expands and Continues
Ten Years More.
The interest taken by the various states

The interest taken by the various states
forming the International Union Of
American Republics in the work of
its organic bureau is evidenced by
the fact that for the first time since its
creation in 1890 all the republics OF South
and Central America are now represented
in it.
The unanimous recommendation OF the In
ternational American conference, providing
for the International Union of American Re-
publics, stated that 1t should continue in
force during a term of ten years from the
date of it's organization, and no country be-
coming a member of the union should cease
to be a member until the end OF said period
of ten years, and unless twelve months be-
fore the expiration of said period majority
OF the members of the union had given to
the secretary of state OF the United States
official notice OF their wish to terminate the
union at the end of Its first period, that
the union should continue to be maintained
for another period OF ten years, and there
after, under the same conditions for sue
cessiye periods OF ten years each. The
period for notification expired on July a.
1899, without any of the members having
given the necessary notice OF withdrawal.
It's maintenance is, therefore, assured for
the next ten years.
In view of this fact, and OF the numerous
questions of general interest and common
benefit to all of the republics of America,
some OF which were considered by the first
International American conference, but not
finally settled, and others which have since
then grown to importance, II would seem
expedient that the various republics con-
stituting the union should be invited TO
hold at an early date conference in the
capital Of one Of the countries other than
the United States, which has already en-
joyed this honor.
The purely international character of the
work being done by the bureau and the ap-
probation OF its value are further empha-
sized by the active cooperation which the

NEUTRAL IN THE BOER WAR
President Would Have Been Pleased
to Tender Good Offices IL
Chance offered.

This government has maintained at at
titude of neutrality in the unfortunate con-
test between Great Britain and the Boer
states of Africa. We have remained faithful
TO the precept of avoiding entangling alli-
ances as to affairs not of our direct concern.
Had circumstances suggested that the par
tics to the quarrel would have welcomed any
kindly expression of the hope of the Amer
lean people that war might be averted, good
offices would have been gladly rendered. The
United States representative at Pretoria was
early instructed to see that all neutral
American interests be respected by the COM
batants This has been an easy task, in
view of the positive declarations of both
British and Boer authorities that the per-
sonal and property rights of our citizens
should be observed.
Upon the withdrawal of the British agent
from Pretoria the United States consul was
authorized, upon the request of the British
government and with the assent of the South
African and Orange Free State governments,
TO exercise the customary good offices of a
neutral for the care of British interests. In
the discharge of this function am happy to
say that abundant opportunity has been af
forded to show the impartiality Of this gov
ernment toward both the combatants.

MEXICO A GOOD NEIGHBOR
Growing Evidences of the Good Feel
ing between the Two
Countries.

The year has been marked by constant in
crease in the intimacy of our relations with
Mexico and in the magnitude of mutually
advantageous interchanges. This govern
ment has omitted no opportunity to show it's
strong desire to develop and perpetuate the
ties OF cordality now so long happily un-
broken.
Following the termination on January 90
1899, by Mexico OF the convention OF extra
dtion OF December IL, 1861, a new treaty
more in accordance with the ascertained
needs of both countries was signed Febru-
airy 22, 1899, and exchanged in the City of
Mexico on the 22d OF April last. It's opera
tion thus far has been effective and salts

the application OF Its fourth article. which
provides that neither party shall be bound
to deliver up its own citizens but that the
executive Authority of each shall have the
power to deliver them up II in its discretion
II be deemed proper to do so. The extradi-
tion OF Mrs. Matte Rich, citizen OF the
United States, charged with homicide COM
mitted in Mexico, was after mature consid-
Grafton, directed by me, in the conviction
that the ends Of justice would be thereby
subserved. Similar action on appropriate oc-
casion by the Mexican executive will not
only tend to accomplish the desire of both
+ governments that grave crimes go not un-
punished. but also to repress lawlessness
along the border OF the two countries.
The new treaty stiPulates that neither

LYNCHING OF THE ITALIANS
Conditions Demand Legislation Civ
ing Federal Courts Jurisdic-
ton in Such Cases.

For the fourth time in the present dec
ade question has arisen with the govern
ment of Italy in regard to the lynchlng of
Italian subjects. The latest of these de-
plorable events occurred at Tallulah, La,
whereby five unfortunates of Italian origin
were taken from Jail and hanged.
The authorities of the state and a repre-
sentative of the Italian embassy having sep
hrately investigated the occurrence, with dis
crepant results particularly as to the alleged
citizenship of the victims, and it not appear
Ing that the state had been able to discover
and punish the violators of the law, and in
dependent investigation has been set on foot
through the agency OF the Department OF
State and is still in progress. The result
will enable the executive to treat the ques-
tion with the government of Italy in a spirit
OF fairness and justice and satisfactory So
luton will doubtless be reached
The recurrence of these distressing mani
festations Of blind mob fury directed at
dependents or natives of foreign country
suggests that the contingency has arisen for
action by congress in the direction of con-
ferring upon the federal courts jurisdiction
In this class of international cases where
the ultimate responsibility of the federal
government may be involved The sugges-
tion is not new, In his annual message Of
December Q, 1891, my predecessor Presi-
dent Harrison. said:
