tude on this question is deeply regretta-

trail imperialists into uncompromising op-
ponents OF the government.
The Saturday Review, Interpreting Lord

arming the country, as especially appli-
cable 10 the United tSates, declares:
During the Cuban war there were a
l1ige number of people in this country

kept their feelings strictly TO themselves
Not q discordant note was heard in our
press, and the British government pre-
vented a combination of European pow

can government on its back. How do

treated to all kinds OF intreagues over the
Alaskan boundary and tins Nicaraguan
canal; and now, at least nalf the Ameri-
can press Az nation loudly proclaim
their sympathy with the Beers anu "a :

We shall have 10 defend our empire, and

Beers POINT TO VENEZUELA
London, May L-Q:90 p. m)-W. T.
Stead, who was the last man in Europe to
bid farewell 10 the Boer delegates, OBJ
tained from Abraham Fischer a member
Of the Orange Free State executive coun-
ell and one Ct the delegates a 1nessage
10 the American people which is practi-
cally in the same words as the MESA &c
previously sent through the Associated
Press Mr.. Fischer however, added: The
government Of the old world appear para
lyzed. We hope to find a different state
of things in the new world We
know that t the very time when the
Jameson raid threatened the independ-
ence Of the Transvaal the American re-
public succeeded in inducing Great Brit
tain to submit TO arbitration a question
which involved not her existence, but the
frontier interests Of the republic Of Vene-
zuela. As you obtained arbitration for
Venezuela after England had declared it
was impossible, so we venture 10 hope
the free, enlightened public opinion of
the American people Will succeed in in
ducing the power attacking our very ex-
istence to stay her hand and submit the
question of the future government of these /
regions TO the free judgment Of an i'm
partial tribunal
