ally building a canal like the United
States was compelled to secure fur
Their concessions. This nation deem
ed it necessary to exercise ''exclus-
i've control over any canal it might
build, and the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
was therefore negotiated. Once more
Great Britain yielded to the Amer
lean representa- ions.
Few chapters of diplomacy are
more creditable to a nation than the
British isthmian negotiations with
the United States. The British atti-
tude has invariably been one of fair
ness and generosity.
Yet it must be remembered that
had not English-speaking negroes
from Jamaica settled on the Mosqui-
20 coast there would never have been
any British claim, there never would
have been a Clayton-Bulwer or a
Hay-Pauncefote treaty, and there
would be no question now of the
United States saving it's good name
among the nations.

The order Of Villa. expelling the
Spanish from Torreon, is another
outbreak OF that centuries-old hat
red with which the people OF Mexico
regard their conquered conquerors.
After holding the MeXicans in the
most abject subsection for nearly
three hundred years, the Spanish
were defeated and most of them driv-
en- out in the revolution that began
about a century ago. But since that
time they have returned in thou
sands and being good business peo-
pie and familiar with the language
have in much Of the country obtain
ed a commercial supremacy almost
as strong and calling as their old
tyranny Of the sword.

MOSQUITO AND IT'S MONGRELS
Influence of a Mixed Race of BuCca.
neerS, Negroes and Indians on
International Affairs

Negroes from Jamaica and Carib
Indians from the other islands, to-
gether with a few white buccaneers.
settled along the unhealthy and I'M
desirable eastern coast of Nicaragua
and mingled with the uncivilized
abOrigines. From these progenitOrs
sprung the race of Mosquito Indians,
or MOsquitians, people who have
unwittingly played an important part
in American diplomatic history. They
are a debased and illiterate race,
nominal Christians, many Of them
little advanced from savagery. Their
land now theoretically belongs to
Nicaragua but the Nicaraguans leave
them almost entirely to their own de-
vices. The region is unfit for the
habitation of white men.
Strangely enough the Mosquitoes
have retained English as their lam
guage, and have always been moved
by blind and unintelligent loyalty
to Great Britain. These facts in
spired the British government, after
the breaking up Of the Spanish en-
pire in America, to lay claim to the
Mosquito coast as British territory.
Mosquito was classed as a depend
ency of British Honduras, and it
was a long time before the claim
was relinquished.
With the British rights in Mos
quitia allowed the British would
practically have control Of the Mic
araguan canal route. In 1850 the
British claim was admitted by the
| United States, but this nation was
| determined that it should not be
turned to advantage in the matter
| of constructing an interocean1c
canal. The Nicaraguan route was at
that time considered the most feast
BILE, and it was to prevent the build
ing of the canal by Great Britain
that the United States entered into
the famous Clayton-Bulwar agree
ment.
This treaty was, in every way, fav-
orable to the United States. Great
Britain possessed a plausible claim
to Nicaraguan territory. The United
States had no such claim. The
treaty bound each of the nations new
er to obtain or maintain for Itself
| any exclusive control over any in
teroceanic canal. 1t might we'll be
regarded as a friendly concession BY
Great Britain.

New York society circles are in a
fiutter over the expected visit of the
queen of Bulgaria. The lady in ques-
ton was born in Germany, not in
Bulgaria, but has been in her adopt
ed country long enough to become a
part of its national life. Judging by
the reports of her that have reached
America, she is far more likely to be
interested in sociological problems
than society functions. Like her hus-
band, King Ferdinand, she has been
a potent factor in the progress OF
Bulgaria.

AGAINST AN EXHIBIT

The Tampa Times throws cold
water on the proposition to make
Florida exhibit at Frisco, and while
the Star much desires to see our
state represented at the Panama Pa
cific exposition, it must admit there
is much good sense in its contem-
porary's argument. The Times says:
Impracticable
We do not believe that it will be
possible to raise by private subscrip-
ton, which is the only way open, a
sufficient amount Of money to finance
a creditable exhibition of the pro-
ducts and resources of Florida at
San Francisco, and a creditable ex-
hibition is the only kind that should
be made. Florida should be seen
there at her best or not be seen at
all. She would be more conspicuous
by her absence from all participa-
ton than by a discreditabIe showing
in the house OF her chief rival.
According to the estimates that
have been given out of the sum that
will be equired-and We do not
think that it is excessive-to insure
"a complete and fitting exhibition OF
the distinctive products of the state

the mass Of the private citizens.
There is too much division Of senti-
ment among them as to the advisa-
b:lity OF making the effort for any
thing like an enthusiastic response
10 the call for contributions.
Then whence may these contribu-
tons be looked for? From the rail
roads or other great corporations in
terested in the state? In the light
Of the past We are strongly inclinei
TO look upon this as a futile hope.
The money, at least in that sum, can
not be raised. 1t is better TO forego

will meet the appreciation of the
business men of the country as we'll

nothing less than a great business
proposition, and there is more rea-
son for demanding strict sobriety of
the officers and men who handle it
than there is for demanding the
same from men who handle the

have never been published, enough
has leaked out to make the public
more than suspect that several OF
Ehe accidents that have happened to
the United States navy since the
Spanish American war have been the
result of drinking among officers. If
a drunken engineer wrecks his train,

BONDS FOR BRICK ROADS

In the excitement caused by the
big fire in ST. Augustine last week,
few people noticed an event of great
Importance not only to st. Angus
tine, but the entire state, and of
some moment to the nation. St.
Johns county, of which St. Angus
tine is the county seat, voted for
bonds to build a brick highway
thru their county, from the Duval to
part of the great national road down
the East Coast to Miami. The ST.
Augustine Record speaks of it as
follows:

In Larger Type

1t is possibly only human fer the
newspaper editor to give space to
that which is the most startling in
the days happenings whether at
home or abroad. And so it has come
about that in making mention Of the
unusual events of this week in St.
Augustine and St. Johns county the
papers Of Florida have paid more at
tention to the terrible conf1agration
of Thursday morning than to the act
Of the residents of st. Johns in vot-
ing to spend more than half a mill
ion dollars for a main trunk high
way paved with vitrified brick. The
success of this bond election is so
important to those counties that have
already voted bonds for public i'm
provements, are about to do so or
may hereafter do so, that the state
papers should not lose sight of that
Importance. This Importance lies in
the fact that st. Johns county peo-
pie did not vote a blind or blanket
issue for so much money and then
leave the problem to be worked out
afterwards as to when, how and
where the money should be spent,
but, thanks to the wisdom of the
board of county commissioners and
its authorized advisers, went to the
polls to sanction the action of the
commissioners in awarding con-
tract for the performance of a GER
tain definite contract, in this case the
paving with brick of sixty-five miles
of main trunk highway the full
length of the county and forming a
way down the east coast from Jack
sonville to Miami. The voters of st
Johns are going to get value receiv-
| ed for every dollar authorized by the
| bond issue.
