Cuban Reciprocity.
From the Nashville Banner.

rom tne >aSnVlue Banner.
The Washington Star publishes an inter-
view with Mr.. Charles M. Pepper, a gentle
man recently returned from Cuba, and who
1t Is stated. has been a close student of the
islands affairs. Mr.. Pepper asserts that
whatever of opposition there is in Cuba to
the pending reciprocity treaty has been TO-
mented by interests that are antagonistic
to the growth of friendly relation and ex-
tended commerce between the island and
the United States. Conspicuous among
these, he says, are the large European trade
organizations. which are destined to lose
materially If the treaty be put into opera
ton.
There is no logical ground on which this
treaty could be opposed, either in Cuba or
the United States, If the general interests
of the two countries alone were considered:
but both here and in Cuba there appears to
be a selfish greed that ignores the broader
question. The endeayor of these European
trade organizations to defeat the treaty
should be good argument at Washington
for its ratification; but the beet sugar SEN
ators. some southern senators and those
who deem 1t their duty to guard sacredly
against any infringement of the protective
principle will make common cause with
these European trade associations to kill
the treaty and prevent q monopoly of Gu
ban trade by American producers

Marplot Bombardment.
From the New York Tribune.


While no official explanation of the bonn
bardment has been made, it is difficult to
conceive any which will not leave the onus
of responsibility upon the German COM
manders. They are understood I'd be there
with their ships for the purpose of main
tanning peaceful blockade" Surely the
bombardment of forts and villages is not
necessary to that end, The German ships
can guard the ports so as to prevent ingress
or egress without waging war against the
land. All reports are to the effect that the
Germans began the firing. If so, it is diff
cult to imagine any Justification for their
act. The case would be a little different IL
it were shown that the Venezuelans began
the firing. But even then we might well
ask why the ships went in so close as to
give the opportunity for such attack. Such
approach was surely not necessary for the
maintenance of the blockade, and an hon
est desire for the facilitation of a peaceful
settlement should nave moved the German
officers to avoid even the appearance of
wantOn annoyance.

Fort San Carlos.

At the outset of the movement by the
European allies against Venezuela Ger
many proclaimed that there was to be a
peace blockade of the ports. The United
States at once raised the question OF its
rights under such a blockade and intimated
a purpose to protest against the stoppage
OF any of it's vessels. Thereupon the allies
declared that the blockade was to be con-
strued as a war measure, which would be
equally effective against all vessels, those
of neutrals as well as those CT Venezuela.
A state of war between the allies and Ven
ezuela was thereupon announced, but there
was a virtual understanding that the usual
measures of warfare should not be adopted,
inasmuch as the negotiations for a pacific
settlement were instituted Immediately and
had progressed to a point of partial agree
ment before the powers had declared a
state of war to exist.
Since the acceptance by both sides of the
principle of arbitration and the designation
by President Castro of the American min
lister at Caracas as his representative in the
negotiations for a protocol, Germany. alone
of the allied powers, has displayed an ex-
traordinary activity IN the blockade. and
instead of merely asserting the right to
check foreign commerce with Venezuela by
the sea has undertaken to force her way
into an inland lake in order to control land
commerce as well. The two bombardments
of the fort at San Carlos cannot be con-
sidered as measures of blockading, but as
attempts to force the frontier of Venezuela.
Had President Castro baked at submit
ting the case to negotiation without re-
serve, had he committed some act in viola
ton of the implied pledge to preserve the
status quo existing when the arbitration
principle was accepted, there would be
duct. But, as far as known, he has OBJ
served a perfectly proper course and has
given no ground for offense. having dis
patched his representative with all haste to
the scene of negotiations
If the officer in command of the German
ahead on his own initiative it is high time
he received a hint from home. If he is
obeying orders from home it Is high time
we were advised here of the reasons for
such orders. We are not. it is true. a party
to the controversy, but the American min
lister to Venezuela. out of friendship for
the powers in interest. has been granted
as Venezuela's representative on a mission
looking to a speedy settlement of the whole
difficulty. And yet just as he is on the eve
of opening negotiations Germany precip-
itates fresh war upon Venezuela and kills

Distrust Of Englandp
From .he Philadelphia Ledger.

1t is sheer nonsense and gross inaccuracy
to say that England,s attitude in the Ven
ezuelan matter has increased the cordial
relations between her and this country and
that in consequence of 1t our feeling toward
her has become closer and more trustful
than within living memory" The truth Is
that the incident has created general dis
trust Of England in the United States and
decreased to most serious degree the cor
dial feeling for her which existed here prior
to the contamination of the unholy and un-
friendly alliance. That Is the view taken
of the matter by the press and the people
of the United States. and it is well that
England should know the truth about it.

Participants in the many

during the past two weeks
have in nearly every instance
purchased their footwear
here. They've come here be-
cause there is no stock in
town which presents such a
variety-and particularly in
slippers. And just as COM
plete is the variety of foot
wear for use on the bridal

ception wear.
For those most ENJOYABLE
sports, such as golhng. rid

a most complete assortment
OF correct fashions especially
designed for those who care
to be correctly shod while
thus engaged. All the novel
ties shown by New York

cial footwear we show. made
expressly to correct ''toeing-
ill.," bowed legs. weak ankles,
etc. They are made on
strictly scientific anatomical
principles, and Endorsed by
the leading physicians. This
immense children's trade is
due to the fact that we take
as much care in fitting the
little ones as the older people
for we realize the evils of
ill-htting footwear on grow
ing children. One entire
