SOME SPANISH-AMERICAN
HISTORY
New York Times.D

On April s, 1898. which was thir-
teen days before the declaration OF
war between the United States and
Spain, the six great powers of Eur
ope fGreat Britain. France. Germany.
Austria-Hungary. Italy. and Russia)
jointly presented a note urging the
American government in the name OF
humanity to keep the peace. Mr..
Mckinley met the representatives OF
the powers in the blue roc OF the
White House, received Europe's
protest against our going to war with
Spain and replied to it in a manner
brief and almost enigmatic. Thence
the representatives of the powers
moved in n body to the State de-
partment, where they were formally
received by Mr.. Day.
Ii was a very solemn performance
altogether. The news of it called up
a storm OF protest. There was no
precedent for allowing foreign pow
ers to act jointly in making represen-
tations TO the United States. On the
contrary. attempts at joint action
had been pointedly repulsed in the
past. especially by Mr. Seward dur
ing the civil var II savored too
much of coercion by coalition. 1t
was as the European powers might
proceed with China. The New York
Times said editorially.
THE joint note of the powers
which the president consented to re-
ceiye and reply to yesterday, how
ever is saved from the appearance
OF an unfriendly and offensive dem
onstration by two circumstances. One
of these is the participation Of the
British ambassador. The other is
the appeal made TO the American ma
ton in the note itself to recognize
and appreciate its Humanitarian and
purely disinterested character +"
Germany's signature led all the
rest, a fact which did not escape no.
tiee at the time, but which was pa
officially explained by the coincidence
that the French word for Germany
begins with A. So trifling a thing
would not have been commented on
at all but for the feeling that Ger
many had taken the lead in origin
ating the protest. seconded BY
France. Great Britain was the only
power in Europe then inclined to a
feeling of friendship for a New
World democracy on the point of de-
claring val against an Old World
monarchy. and yet she could not
refuse to join the other five In a
protest which only by its phraseology
was saved from being an affront.
The Washington correspondent of the
Times wrote on the following day:
There is little doubt that the Brit
ish ambassador, rejecting the views
OF his government, served as a re-
pressiye influence in keeping the
note down to a mild and polite ex.
preston for peace. II. seems equally
apparent that had the influences of
the French ambassador and Austrian
minister prevailed the note would
have been considerably more than a
vague expression for peace"

complete
The arrest followed an alleged at
tempt to pass the prescription at a
broadway drug store. Taylor brought
the prescription in. and the clerk who
received II became suspicious when ne
saw II was unnumbered. since the
new Harrison law provides physicians
shall number all morphine prescrip-
lions.
DR.. Stetson. whose name appeared on
the order. was called on the telephone
and said he had written no prescription
for morphine. Taylor was arrested and
asserted he had merely brought the pre-
scription for a woman acquaintance who
proved to be Miss Russell
AT the police station she explained that
she had been Ill for a long while and
had been accustomed to morphine to
relieve her suffcrings. Sunday MORNING
she called DR.. Stetson to the Hotel Vic
toria. where she is living. and he gave
her a small quantity of the drug. leaving
prescription for a hypodermic needle.
II was to this prescription that she had
added the line calling for morphine from
the drug store. DR.. Stetson bore out hei
assertions.
Miss Russell exonerated Taylor.
Although she described herself as Miss
Russell. she is really Mrs. Edward O'Reil-
ly. having been married six months ago.
She said tonight that she and her hus-
band were separated.
