and successful. OF course there are
those. Governor Glenn among them
and perhaps the leader Of that tribe,
who favor a straight out vote on pro-

New Orleans, April 8.-Pucrto Cor

abandoned the port two days before
the Nicaraugan troops appeared
The Hondurans did not desert tncir

that the war was over. They returned

OF them had been employed as LABOR
ers before the war began.

they will not interfere with law abid~

An authoritative statement OF great
moment in the relations of the United
States to Central American republics
has been given here. 1t is to the
effect that bombardments OF coast
towns cannot be permitted during
the frequent wars and revolutions in
Central American state
The statement is made by Com
mander Fullam of the United States
gunboat Marietta and is part Of a let
! ter to General Estrada, general cOnl-
handing the Nicaraguan expedition
engaged in capturing HondUran ports.
In part the letter reads:
at must be perfectly plain that for
eign interests could not possibly be
! secur if bombardments are permitted
On the contrary such interests would
be subjected to the danger Of complete
destruction in every case. If lombard
ments of coast town are to be re5OrteG
t during the frequent wars and revO-
lutions in Central American states
the mercantile interests of all foreign
ers will be absolutely insecure in the
future.
"From this it is plainly evident that
assurances regarding the safety OF
American and foreign interests would
be of no value whatever unless bonn
bardmentS of these unfortified wood,
en- towns are fOrbidden; and it il
equally plain that a ship of Wal or
dered here to protect American inter
ests could not be excused for subject
ing these same interests to inevitable
ruin by permitting the destruction o.

How "a Jury Would Regard 1t.

To the best of our observation, the
substance of the accusation Of Mr..
Hartman was that President ROOse-
Welt asked him to help raise some
money for the national republican
committee to use in carrying the state
of New York for the republican ticket,
state and national, and that there was
some sort of agreement as to the dis
position of Mr.. DepeW. it appearing
that the reelection of the genial post
Drandial orator to the Senate was a
dose the up state politicians could not
we'll swallow without a choke. In
passing MI. Hartman ventured the
opinion that Mr.. Roosevelt took adj
vantage of conditions then created to
further his own interests.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the entire accusa-
ton was false.
Mr.. Hartman has adduced letters
bearing on the case that appear to us
very satisfactory evidence of the truth
of the essence of his charge.
Of course whether OF not MI. Roose-
welt took any personal advantage OF
the situation is merely a side issue.

the colOred worker in New England.
They are entitled to, for it shows that
it is, if anything, harder for a negro
to get work in Massachusetts than in
the south. In many cases the refusal
to give employment was made then
! there was actual need of just the kind
of worker who applied. ~Regrettable
