DR.. A. P. Holly Resents Idea OF
American Intervention.

Theodore Roosevelt received as a literary
courtesy a pamphlet published by Or. A. P.
Holly, former Haytian Consul in the Ba-
hamas, dealing with the political troubles OF
Hayti. Dr. Holly deals with the question OF
American intervention. which he seems to
fear and quotes Mr.. Roosevelt on the sub
ject. saying
President Roosevelt startled the Hay
tians by the avowal contained In letter
to Sir Harry II. Johnston that he had beer
endeavoring to arouse American public
opinion TO the necessity OF Intervention In
Hayti but in vain.
The author of the pamphlet resents the
idea OF American Intervention in Hayti and
expresses the belief that the effort in some
directions to bring this about is conspir-
acy against his country. He says the Amer
ican press as a whole seems to be yielding
to some unseen influence in this conspiracy
and is evidently shaping public opinion to
the necessity Of Intervention.

WY NNfH.kAi'S TlSE-

II is beyond doubt colossal task
which Mr. Yuan Shih-kai has under
taken i'm accepting the Office of Prime
Minister of China. It involves several
distinct laborS, any enc Of which might
he regarded as formidable One is 10
suppress Il widespread rebellion and 10
restore peace and order throughout Il
vast and pOpulouS area. 4 second is TO
lcunite the empire. which has shown
an inclination to break into fragments
and which has become thus divided so
far as revolutionary proclamatiOns and
The organization of separatist govern
mcnts could do the work. \ third is to
rehabilitate the government of the en-
pirc on either Il monarchical or re-
publican basis. \ fourth is to establish
4 practical constitutional system. And,
as if 10 add to the difficulty of the enter
prise. all these things must he done at
practically the same time. together with
such other trihes as reOrganiZng the
finances of the empire and revising trca-
ties.
There is probably no other man in
the empire 80 well lifted as Mr.. Yuan
10 undertake these labors. and il is
cause for real satisfaction that he has
consented TO do so. The list of ministers
whom he has chosen rs his associates is
not Illuminating to the American reader,
most Of the names being entirely UNI
known. But ii is reassuring 10 know
that while he has included none of the
Manchu princes he has given portfolios
TO several Manchu commoners. Man
churia is an integral part of the empire
and should be thus recognized. and,
moreover il contains many men Of high
ability and character who can profita-
blv be drafted into the public service.
We are told that some Of the abest men
in China have been omitted, and, indeed,
some of the names which might have
been expected to be included In the list
are not to be found there. That is to
be explained and justified on the ground
that some of those men may not be In
harmony with Mr.. Yuan's policy, and it
is of course. essential that the govern
ment shall be united.
There Is ground for hope that Mr..
Yuap will succeed II is not too much
TO say that upon his success appears to
hang the salvation of China. Without
the organization and dominance of n
strong central government the empire
threatens 10 dissolve into chaos, inviting
and probably necessitating Intervention
and perhaps continued alien control.

CHAMPIONS ITALIAN SOLDIERS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir Allow me To answer u. l.. Buffos
letter Of to-day. in which he SAYS that this
Itao-Turklsh war is the misdeed OF
minority" Where does he get his author
ity for this statement and the next. that
the Italian people ARE not responsible for
the actions of brutal soldery recruited
for the most part from among It's peas
antry and by no means representative Of
the best elements?
He Is either misguided or does not read
good papers | am sure that public opinion
is against him. He seems to be bitter, and
has nothing but condemnation for Italy.
II he is an Italian he surely knows that
the Italian army is made up Of all classes,
rich, poor peasants and tradesmen, mer-
chants and professionals, nobility and roy
atty. Let him read Yesterdays article in
The Tribune written by "Ex-Attache." Let
him read history. and he will find that
Italy is conducting herself nobly in this
war.
Who will accuse the soldiers and officers
of disposing OF the Arab traitors who, after
they swore allegiance to italian rule, shot
and butchered innocent italian soldiers and
officers? JOHN MAHIEl.

There are gradat tons in the offences

rested man appears to admit that he did
what is alleged. namely, brought about
the confinement of a law-violating pedler
by refusing TO accept payment OF two
dollar fine in silver That NAV have
been an act Of oppression. 1t requires
no strain upon the imagination TO con-
ceive of court clerks as harsh and die

their mercies. And a great court clerk,
brother of the elect among correspond
ents-it is possible to suppose without vio-
lence that such man found il difficult
to condescend sufficiently to accept sill
yer in payment of fines. The provoking
habit Of those found guilty in his court
was TO have on their persons only small
change. Naturally that might be set
down to malice.
Yet. again, it is possible To conceive
other things For example. why did the
complainant against this epistolary
satellite choose to submit to confinement
upon the refusal of the silver, all the
while having the requisite paper money
in her pocket? II was doubtless her
privilege TO do so. but ii was privilege
of which she was not likely to avail her
self without reason.
