MONROE DOCTRINE
London Standard Thinks Time
Has Come for Exploding
Popular Fiction.

London, March 12-The afternoon
newspapers here today follow the
morning paper sin approving the gov
ernment's refusal to accept the senate
amendments to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. The only novel suggestion in
the matter appears in the Evening
Standard which is of the opinion that
the time has come to attack Monroe
ism and says:
"Now, that the republic is taking
al active interest in the worlds poll
cies, the time has come when the fic-
tion that the western hemisphere is to
be guarded as a close preserve, or an
American enterprise, should finally be
exploded. England's interests are just
as paramount as those of the sister
states and it cannot be long before at
tention of the continental powers will
be directly drawn to the possibilities
of the dormant southern half Of the
continent

FEAR THE RESULTS
Washington Apprehensive Concern
ing Demands of Powers for
Blood in China.

Washington. March 13--Mr. Rock
hill, special United States commissioner
at Pekin, has not yet been able to in
form the state department. of the char
acter of the agreement said to have
been reached by the foreign ministers
relative to the basis of indemnity
claims, though he has been in com
munication with the department on
the general subject. 1t is apprehended
that the final agreement is still dis
tant.
Pursuance of the punitive expedi-
lions and the insistance of some of the
ministers upon designating more Chi
nese notables for execution is regarded
here as sure to result in the failure of
the negotiations if persisted in, and
Mr.. Rockhill is using all of his pow
ers, by express direction Of the depart
ment, to induce the ministers and mil
itary powers to cease what are regard
ed as ruthless and bloody measures.

PREMIER NOT ALARMED
Has No Fear Of Spectre Bear
ing Label "Made in
Germany"

London, March 13-Lord Salisbury,
speaking this evening at the annual
banquet of the association of chambers
of commerce, abiding to the "Unity
Of parties during the many months of
struggle from which England is issu-
ing with her strength unimpaired, -
referred to trade questions as follows:
1T do not find that the spectre OF
Germany has affected our commercial
works, although a Respondent feeling
exists, which IS due rather to the ne.
cessity which fertile writer's feel of
producing copy for impending issues,
rather than to any real foundation in
fact. Still there is a tote of discour-
agement in a certain portion of public
opinion and the public press. This,
perhaps, is the national pessimism
which attends too great success, but I
trust we shall take such warnings as
if they were real and give our whole
attention to meeting any dangers that
might be pressing upon u.s."

Washington, March 12-Conditions

serted that the feeling of unrest which

URGENT APPEALS FOR AID

Detroit. March ia special to the
Free Press from Grand Rapids says:
Raging along the entire coast of
Lake Michigan, north of Grand
Rapids, and reaching out over the
Saginaw valley, is one of the most dis
%asterous storms in years. Railroad
reports here show that all lines are
blocked and that not a train on the
Grand Rapids & Indiana or Pere Mar
quette, northwest Of here is able to
move.
So far the winds have been south
easterly, but the railroads say that it
is turning to northwesterly and that
the worst is yet to come. Five Grand
Rapids & Indiana passenger trains are
stalled between here and Mackinaw
City. Two Pere Marquette passenger
trains are fast in the snow and are
rapidly being showed in completely,
and there are freight trains out on
both lines which are banked in with
walls Of snow and frozen slush. The
railroads say that the storm is one Of
the worst they have ever encountered.
The storm has SO far confined it.
self to sections north of Grand Rapids
and has affected trains of the Grand
Rapids & Indiana, northern division.
the Pere Marquette, Petoskey division,
and the Saginaw district of the Pere
Marquette. A change III the wind is
taken to mean that before morning
Grand Rapids will be the center Of the
blizzard.
The strength of the blizzard may be
understood when it is known that the
windows of the coaches and cabs of
the engine were, in some instances,
broken in. Train men in reporting
from the north say that their situa-
tions are perilous and they ask for i'm
mediate aid. They say the snow is
falling in clouds and that they are un-
able to assist themselves.

TORU WANTS vINDICATION.
Former Japanese Minister Brings Suit
Against His Enemies.

Washington, March 12-Word has
reached here that a former Japanese
minister in Washington, Hoshi Toru,
has gone to the courts of japan to
vindicate himself against charges made
while he was a member of the cabinet,
following his services here. It was
understood at the department that the
charges were inspired by personal ill
will, some Of Hoshi's political adver-
saries making the attacks OH him.
Rather than embarrass the govern
ment Hoshi retired from the cabinet,
determining in due time to begin suits
against those who had assailed him.
The suits are attracting much attera
ton, involving the question of his re-
spect to government officials high in
office. Among the former minister's
associates in Washington there w
has been the slightest belief in the
charges against him, as he won their
COMMUNICATION for his personal and
official career while here.

TAKES UNKINDLY TO PLATT
RESOLUTION.
I'LL ADVISED PROCEEDINGS
Old Warrior Attempts to Read
United States Lecture
on Liberty.

Havana, March 12-La Lacha pub
fishes today a part Of a letter which
General Maxine Gomez recently wrote
to a friend in San Domingo. Speak
ing of the 'present situation in Cuba
General Gomez said:
MATTERS here have a serious aspect.
This change in the people who had be-
gun to feel content with the Ameri-
cans, is due to the Platt amendment.
That i%ll-advised proceeding has
wounded the sentiment of the Cubans,
who feel the utmost disgust, which
such unreasonable behavior at Wash
ington has produced.
"This demand thrown in the face of
Cuba by a powerful nation will cause
deep moral perturbations. The people
wonder how the United States, which
are the opponents of liberty, can deny
our right to defend the principle of
liberty. Was our fight the result Of
hatred Of Spain or of love Of liberty ?
The United States are too rich a power
to ask of Cuba these crumbs of con-
cession. The Americans should know
that as a star of greater magnitude
the United States will exert a pre-
dominant influence over all the nations
of the family of American republics"
In order to remove all doubts from
the minds of the members of the con-
s%titutional convention to as the power
of the convention to draw UP a scheme
of relations that would bind the future
republic, General Wood sem a COM
municntion to the convention pointing
out that the warrant calling the cleo
tions gave the delegates this power.
No meeting OF the committee Oh rela-
tions was held today. Individual mem
bers say the committee will not report
until the question has been thoroughly
discussed.

Guards were put on the line by the
British and the work continued. Cen
eral Wagasak, the Russian COM
mander, protested and said the thing
would not have been done if the Rus
slams had had as many troops as the
British, adding that such matters
should be left to the diplomats.
Colonel Mcdonald again communi-
Gated with General Barrow, who tel
egraphed: Continue the siding"
General Wagasak, very indignant,

GREAT ICE PLANT
Will Be Constructed Immediately
at Manila by Insular
Government.

Manila, March l2-The authorities
have left the construction of the great
ice plant, which has been delayed for
two years, to the insular government.
The army will be supplied under con-
tract by the insular government. EN-
ployes will be supplied with ice at
approximately cost.
The cost Of this plant was estimated
at $500, 900, but the commission found
it necessary to appropriate $500, 900 for
this end. General Macarthur had
figured that the expense of the plant
will be borne by the insular govern
ment, but as the work was undertaken
as an army necessity, when the army
and insular government were practi-
cally one, therefore the plant ought to
be controlled by the military.
The commission without making
any recommendations submitted sep
arate plans for the control of the plant
to the war department..
There is some discussion as to the
location of the plant, as.it will be nec-
essary to convey articles for storeage
there from a point Of Passig bay and
the railway cost of operating the plant
is estimated at $3.50, 900 a year.
Generals Macarthur and Wheaton
