of these valiant soldiers are hardly
able To carry gun, but they are do
ing good service in securing proven
der for the older men in the field.
Naturally, the republic is bankrupt.
Since the outbreak of the war the
Colombian peso has declined in value
from IS cents in gold to about two
cents. There are now about 250,000,-
900 pesos of inconvertible paper cur
rency in circulation, which is legal
tender for all debts and obligations.
Confscation of property, forced
loans end contributions of war have
been required of the people, and es-
pecially from those known to SYM
pathiza with the revolutionary party.
Industry of every kind has been par
alyzcd, agriculture destroyed, many
of the farmhouses burned and once
prosperous villages abandoned. The
revolutionists assert that they will
die. but never give up their alleged
struggle for liberty. They charge
the conservative party, which rules
the country, with having established
despotism. The president, they
say, cannot be called to account for
his actions and possesses arbitrary
power to issue legislative decrees and
to execute the laws by what is known
as the administrative process He
appoints his cabinet. the governors
of the states and all executive Off
GERS, who become his personal agents.
The church question is also involved,
the liberal party asserting that the
favors shown to the Roman Catholic
clergy and orders in exemptions of
trials Hefore the common courts and
from the payment of taxes, import
duties, etc, are unjust to the rest of
the population and should be abol-
ished. The conservatives, on the 9TH
er hand, charge the liberals with Pp-
position to the Roman Catholic
church, not so much on account of
disliting the exemptions granted and
the privileges given, as on account of
opposition TO all religion, and be
cause they desire to lead immoral
lives.
About 400 engagements have been
fought by the two forces, in the
course of some of which valuable
property owned by foreign mer-

chants and corporations has been
destroyed, and several times the
United States has had to interfere
to protect the interest of it's own
citizens and those of European coun-
tries. Under treaty made many
years ago the United States as
sumed the responsibility of keeping
the Panama railway open, and that
is why we have had to keep war ves-
sells at the Atlantic and Pacific
termini of the road for several
years. Should the commission,
which is now trying to secure n
clear title to the property of the
French Isthmian Canal company, be
successful in its efforts the Wash
ington government would have to
end the revolution, either by force
or the outright purchase of the ter
ritory adjacent to the railway and
ship canal. Certainly, Uncle Sans
patience has been tried to tho verge
of exhaustion,
Another pestiferous country which
has been giving the United States
much trouble is Venezuela, where
Gen. Matos is directing n revolution
airy campaign against President
Castro, one OF the most obnoxious
of Latin-American tyrants. The So
called rebel forces have recently
captured number of important
towns on and near the seacoast,
and the outrages which the victori-
Gus soldiers committed compelled
the United States and Germany to
land marines at Barcelona and other
points. Venezuela is the deadbeat
par excellence among nations. It's
disposition to repudiate honest debts
has several times led to serioss fric-
ton with European powers, and
nothing but the Monroe doctrine has
saved the tottering republic from
| anAihilation and absorption by for
| eign creditors. Hitherto the govern
ment at Washington has succeeded
in avoiding a clash, but unless our
diplomats manage to bring Castro
and his gang of boodlers to time the
miserable little country may force
us to go to war with one or the
other of the great powers; because
no self-respecting nation can afford
to be bulldozed by such severn
ment as that of Castro and the
United States cannot permit the
conquest of any part or eortsp of
soil on the western hemisphere.
Truly, the Monroe doctrine has
it's ugly side, and to carry it sut in
spirit as well as letter Unsss Sam
must act as the worlds policeman
in Central and South America. And
this duty calls for the exersise Of
wise craftsmanship and libersl con-
struction of the rights of foreign
countries whose interests in the re-
gion named are, necessarily, more or
less At the mercy of our state de.

Especial Correspondence.l

II EUROPEAN publicists have had
t. considerable to say lately about
new American political dis
ease which they call Monroe doc
trinitis." AS loyal citizens of the
United States we should not be
ashamed to admit the existence of
the ailment, if such it be, because we
have beth the willingness and the
means to effect cure, whenever ma
tional judgment may deem it expe-
dent to apply heroic remedies.
The isthmian canal bill, passed by
the last congress, imposes new obli-
cations upon us in the matter of
maintaining peace in the Central and
South American republics, as well as
in the negro states of Hayti and San
Domingo. The application of the
Monroe doctrine, which renders the
acquisition of territory on the Amer
lean continent and the islands belong
ing to it by n European power casus
belli, virtually compels us to exercise
sort of police power over the tur-
bulent and rebellious peoples of the
Latin-American states. and we cannot
much longer delay the enforcement
of measures calculated to insure
peace and tranquility in Colombia,
Venezuela and Hayti.
The recent destruction of the Hay
tien revolutionary gunboat Crete-a-
Pierrot in the harhor of Gonaives
by German war vessel has
opened the eyes of many hitherto
conservative Americans to the neces-
sity of applying drastic treatment to
the clustering buccaneers of the ir-
responsible West Indian govern
ments, and regret has been expressed
that a foreign nation had to teach

the negro admiral, Killick, who made
an opera bouffe attempt to interfere
with foreign commerce and shipping,
lesson which will prove of great
benefit to other would-be heroes OF
his type.
Both Hayti and San Domingo have
been 4 source of annoyance for many
years, and it is doubtful if they can
be made to behave themselves, unless
annexed to the United States or, at
least, placed under the protectorate
of this country. American merchants
and capitalists are deeply interested
in the two negro republics, and
should they be allowed to continue
