Massacres have profoundly affected
the history of the United States, aside
from the way in which it was affected
by the influx of Huguenots as conse-
quence of the st. Bartholomew and
kindred crimes in France. The MUIR
ders of the French Protestants, under
Ribault, in Florida, by the Spaniard
Menendez in 1865, sent the French to
Canada instead of to the South Atlantic
coast of the present United States, gave
the latter to Spain, and thus made Flor
ida far easier to win by the United
States after this country's independ-
ence was gained. The devastation along
the French and Indians in the various
intercolonial wars which ended with
1863 melted tue resistance on the part
Of England and its dependencies which
drove France out OF Canada and the
Mississippi Valley in that year and has
toned the revolution, which, a dozen
years later, expelled England from the
thirteen colonies. The onslanghts on
the French in st. Domingo by the ne
groes in 1901 and 1902, that island be-
ing then a French colony, prevented
Bonaparte from sending an army to
take possession of New Orleans, which
had been retroceded to France by
Spain, and was one of the causes of the
cession of Louisiana by France to the
United States in 1903.

SULTAN MUST PAY.

The Battleship Kentucky Ordered to
Smyrna to Collect Indemnity.
The battleship Kentucky has been or
dered to call at Smyrna and collect the
Turkish indemnity of 100000. 1t is
likely that the Kentucky will stay at
Smyrna until the indemnity has been paid
by the Sultan. A refusal under a threat
of bombardment would lead to a clearing
for action, shell-fre, and the seizure Of
the Turkish customs by the Kentucky.
However, the officials are sanguine that
Turkey, when she finds the United States

GROVER CLEVELAND.
Ex-President Brought Into Prominence

by REORGANIZATION Talk.
The defeat OF William Jennings Bryan
at the recent election has led many Dem
ocrats to declars that there must be a
reorganization of the party to insure its
continuance as one of the great elements
Of American politics. Various plans are
suggested and many names are brought
forward of probable leaders in the reha-
Utilization. In this talk Of rebuilding by
the conservative wing Of the party the
name of Grover Cleveland figures most
prominently. The man who dominated
the party of Jackson and jefferson from
1854 to 1896 still has host of admirers
who believe that he can best formulate
policies for a reorganized, Democracy,
and that under his leadership new vie
tories may be achieved.
