Voluntary Annexations.

Recent events in the Isle of Pines re-
mind me that two of the Central American
republics have in times past annexed them
selves to the United States, but in neither
case did the movement amount to any
thing In 1922 the people of San Salvador
took formal action in that respect. Sal
vador has often taken the lead in the po-
litical affairs of Central America. 1t was
the first to throw off the yoke of Spain and
uttered the first cry of liberty in Central
America. as Venezuela did among the ma
lions of the southern continent. Its pa
triots received the cordial cooperation OF
the liberal element in Nicaragua and Costa
RIGA, but were suppressed by the Spanish
authorities. The provisional congress was
driven from place to place, but remained
intact. 1t had the sympathy and support OF
the people, but was menaced on one SIDE
by Spain and on the other by the Emperor
Iturbide of Mexico, who was trying to
bring the whole of Central America into his
empire. Finally, a last resort, to es-
cape the designs of the Mexican, the con-
gress OF Salvador, by a solemn act passed
on the I'd of December, 1S22 annexed their
little territory to the United States, ana
appointed delegates to proceed to Wash
ington and ask it's incorporation in the
body polite of l. a .Grande Republica. Be-
fore the commissioners could leave the
country, however, the Mexican empire col
to join the Central American confedera-
ton. The government at Washington never
had an opportunity of expressing opin-
lon on the subject. for the annexation res
olution was never submitted.
In the early part of 1855 revolutionary
movement was started in Nicaragua by
Senior Castellon, the head of the demo-
cratic party. who took possession of the
city of Leon, set up provisional govern
ment, and invited William Walker, an
American adventurer, then in California, to
come down and assist him. The latter or
gained a filibustering expedition landed
at Realejo on the 18th of June captured
Granada, the capital of the republic, shot
several of the cabinet officers and other
influential men, placed himself at the head
of the government for three years, and an
nexed Nicaragua TO the United States.
Walkers administration ended on the Eth
of December 1860 when he was captured,
tried, condemned and executed

TILE MISSIONARY MURDERS.
Nothing to Justify Their Deaths by
the Chinese

A dispatch from New York says: A
declaration that the American missionaries
at Lien Chow did nothing to justify their
recent murder by the Chinese population at
that place was issued at New York yes,cr-
day by the Presbyterian board OF foreign
missions. 1t was as follows:
cit would not be at all to the discredit
of DR.. Machle If it should prove true that
he took advantage of his property rights to
protest against festival platform on which
there were the firing of cannon, the ex-
ploding of fire crackers and the strident
music and other disturbing noises incident
to a Chinese religious festival Such a
tumult would be highly Injurious to the
many patients that were crowding the two
hospitals in the premises, to say nothing
of the discomfort and possible danger of
the missionary families ON the excited
and probably half intoxicated crowd But
such protest, while perhaps sufficient to
excite personal attack upon DR.. Machle,
hardly seems an adequate cause for the
murder of FIVE other people and the total
destruction of the missiNn property, while
DIR. Machle himself was unframed"

Can a teamster buy clothing and shoes

Manchuria-all the physical conditions, all
the roads and bitches, all the wells and
walls, and had perfect typographical maps
prepared by their own engineers long be-
fore the declaration of war. They also
knew exactly what Russia had and what
she was doing all the time. Their bureau
of informa ton was perfect, and they could
figure to a man just the resistance which
might be expected and the force which
would be necessary to overcome 1t at every
point. Nor were the Russians able to dis
concert them. Seldom, If ever, were the
japanese compelled to alter their plans or
change their lines of advance because of
unexpected resistance or other obstacles.
The war was fought out almost precisely
as 1t was planned in the Japanese war Of
fee years before gun was fired. 1t was
reduced to a mathematical calculation.
Gen. Chaffee says that, In his opinion, the
number of Russian troops in Manchufla
has been very much underestimate. He be-
lieves there were more than a million men
on the Russian side before the battle OF
Mukden, and that three army corps of
80 600 men each have arrived from Russia
since that time, making a total of 1,100,0U
Russian troops still in the field. He has no
information concerning their withdrawal,
bus believes that they will be sent back to
Russia as rapidly as possible, because 1t is
an enormous drain upon a country to main
tain army of that size. 1t costs the
United States twenty cents a day to feed
each of its sold. ers, without counting any
other expenses. The Russian comn;ssarfat
i5 not costly as ours, however. The sol
diers are fed on bread and meat and cab
bage soup, all of which comes from Siberia,
and drink tea from China.
