 izens. One of the great embarra sr ssrn naIt- ci.- attending the performance of onr dn | ternational obligations is the fact thn. n. the statutes of the United States en1s | ernment are entirely inade1uate Tsssn | fail to give to the national governnany, sufficiently ample power. through J-nitsS army and navy, to protect aliens n .ss ,as 1 rights secured to them under solo,ns ,nS | treaties which are the law of inc lsnS
 therefore earnestly recommend that l the criminal and civil statutes of ths 1 United States be so amended and aaiaS 1 to as to enable the president acting fos l the United States government. which js l responsible in our international ra,a' | tions, to enforce the rights of aliens te,a' ,,a l der treaties. Even as the law now i. 1 something can be done by the federal | government toward this end. and In tho | matter now before me affecting the Tan. i anese, everything that 1t Is in my power l to do will be done, and all of the forces l military and civil. of the United States
 which I may lawfully employ will H ! so employed. There should however. bs 1 no particle of doubt as to the power oi l the national government completely 10 1 perform and enforce it's own obligations 1 to other nations. The mob of a single l city may at any time perform acts of lawless violence against some class of | foreigners which would plunge us into
 war. The city by itself would be power. | less to make defense against the for. | eign power thus assaulted. and If inds. 1 pendent of this government 1t would | never venture to perform or permit the l performance of the acts complained of l anfira and fbp xvbo "a l protect the offending city or the offend l ing community lies in the hands of the l United States government. IL Is un. | thinkable that we should continue pol | icy under which given locality may bs | allowed to commit crime against | friendly nation. and the United States
 government limited, not to preventing l the commission of the crime. but. in the | last resort. to defending the people who 1 have committed IL against the conse.
 quences of their own wrongdoing."
 Cuban Intervention.
 The rebellion in Cuba and the incl. | dents leading up to the establishment of | the provisional government Is reviewed, and the president says.
 When the election has been held and l the new government inaugurated In 1 peaceful and orderly fashion of the provi-
 sional government will come to an end
 take this opportunity of expressing
 upon behalf of the American people,
 with all possible solemnity. our most l earnest hope that the people Of Cubs
 will realize the imperative need or pre. | serving justice and keeping order In the | island. The United States wishes notn- 1 ing of Cuba except that 1t shall prosper
 morally and materially. and wishes noth, | ing of the Cubans save that they shah
 be able to preserve order among tnsm- 1 selves and therefore to preserve their l independence. If the elections become | 1 farce, and if the insurrectionary haplt ! becomes confirmed in the island, II IS ao- | tNTa
