posed a hidden question to the public
opinion OF two nations. and that opin-
ION had supported him and rebuked Lord
Salisbury
Mr. Cleveland pushed his belief in
arbitration far beyond the individual in
stance.
In the spring of 1895, Mr.. Gresham.
then Secretary of State, had suggested to
Her Majesty's government general
treaty OF arbitration in which the two
governments should pledge themselves
to submit all serious matters of dispute
that might arise between them to settle
ment by an impartial outside tribunal:
the sudden heat of the Venezuelan con-
troversy quickened the desire on both
sides OF the water to carry the plan into
execution; and on the l1th of January,
1897, the President had the satisfactio of
seeing such a treaty completed and
signed.
But the Senate rejected it Mr.. Cleve-
lands term OF office came to an end with
in two months after the exchange OF
signatures. and a Republican President
succeeded him while the treaty pended
The new President urged the treaty upon
the Senate as he had urged 1t, but ii
was rejected Notwithstanding. The
Senate would not bind the government to
submit its interests in all cases to the
decisions of an outside tribunal. and the
careful diplomatic work OF two govern
ments went for nothing
The closing days OF the Democratic sd-
ministration were darkened by perplex-
tiles Of foreign policy essentially more
serious and difficult to handle than any
that were likely to arise between the
governments of the United States and
Great Britain.
The difficulties of Spanish rule in Cuba
were growing intolerable. Sharp insur-
rection had broken forth there in the
spring of 1895.
1t was but seventeen years since the
last uprising in the island, which had
lasted the ten years 1s6S-1s7s. and which
had been brought to a conclusion only
by promises OF radical reform in the
Spanish administration. Those promises
had not been kept. The reforms insti-
tuted had proved delusive. The island
was taxed to the uttermost fsrthing for
the support OF the army and navy and
OF the host OF Spanish officials who
throve as placemen in the innumerable
offices aof administration. The suffrage
that had been granted the native inhab-
itants and the privileges OF selfgovern-
ment which had been accorded them were
effectuslly offset by law which really put
their affairs at the disposal OF the Cap
tain General who was their governor:
and men who were not within the cir
cles OF official influence complained that
they could get no privilege, enforce no
right, even, which they did not pay for in
hard cash. A mere petty fraction OF the
intolerable taxes they paid was expended
upon the public works of the island it.

There seemed no way of reform except
by revolution, and no hope even in rev.
olution unless its object were absolute
independence.

The Washington herald., 1916-06-17

Earnest and repeated representations to
Lord Salisbury having proved Of no avail.
Mr.. Cleveland sent to Congress on the
l7th of December 1895, a message in
which he set forth in unmistakabIe
language what he believed to be the duty
OF the United States in the protection OF
Venezuelan rights.
He had urged arbitration upon Lord
Salisbury. as the most equitable. indeed
the only possible. means of settling so
old and so tangled a controversy; Lord
Salisbury had declined arbitration and
every settlement except that which con-
ceded the full claims Of England; it
was necessary. therefore, the President
declared, that the government of the
United States should ascertain for itself
the merits of the controversy, and, hav-
ing reached a conclusion, insist upon its
acceptance at whatever cost.
A thrill of intense excitement and en-
thusiasm shot through the country.
Neither house of Congress was any
longer OF the Presidents party. The
autumn elections Of 1894 had replaced the
heavy Democratic majority OF 1892 by a
Republican majority of one hunded and
forty in the House OF Representatives,
and radical reversals OF the majorities in
the States had given the Senate also
once more into the hands of the Re-
publicans.
But the houses forgot party differences
in their eager and instant response to
the Presidents Venezuelan message.
Within three days after its receipt money
had been voted for the commission OF
inquiry for which ne asked, and all the
world was apprised how ready the Con-
gress was to support the President to
the very utmost in his new and vigorous
assertion OF the Monroe doctrine.
Thoughtful men knew very well how
grievous a thing it would be to see the
two kindred nations which stood so hope
fully together at the front OF the worlds
progress come to the awful grapple Of
war; no right-minded man In his senses
wished to see so signal a catastrophe,
least of all the President himself.
He was a man OF peace; but he deemed
peace to be rooted in justice and feared
it to be impossible with q nation which
rejected the friendly offices OF arbitration
in a case like this that had arisen. He
had in mind. too, the peculiar relations
which the government over which he
presided had always borne to the states
Of South America in respect OF their deal
ings with the nations OF Europe, and
knew that he could not in fidelity relax
the rigor of the principle upon which
it had these seventy years been its
avowed policy to act.
1t was that, his assertion of the Monroe
doctrine in a new aspect with a new
dignity, even If with a new rigor, that
caught the almost passionate enthusiasm
of the country, and made war unneces-
sary
Lord Salisbury Yielded the dispute was
submitted to arbitration; and Mr.. CIeve-
land had a great triumph. He had ex-

LOCAL CHURCHES

Pope's Order Expected to Be
Enforced with Catholics
of Washington.

Pope Benedict's decree Of March 3,
prohibiting dancing at Catholic church
entertainments, probably will be enforced
In Washington
Local priests stated last night that no
order had yet been received from Car
dinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, the head
Of this diocese. They said, however, that
the Pope's order was general, having
been issued in one Of the quarterly issues
of the Acts OF the Holy See
The procedure in such cases, they said,
was to read the order at all masses on
the first Sunday after # is received from
the cardinal Cardinal Farley. head OF
the archdiocese of New York, already

and It will be read in all the churches
Of the metropolis tomorrow.
Rev. William ]. Brooks of St Aloysius'
Church, made It clear last night that the
decree does not entirely forbid Catholics
to dance, but merely prohibits the hold
ing of dances as a church entertainment
or to raise funds for the church.
order Not New
The letter from Rome TO Cardinal Far
ley, OF New York, states that the decree
was originally issued by the Third
Pienary Council Of Baltimore. years ago,
but gradually fell into disuse. II further
states that although the Fathers Of the
Sacred Consistorial Congregation at Rome
took into consideration the upright pur-
poses which prompt church dances, they
also weighed the perils and losses caused
by the growing custom"
The substance Of the decree reads:
"All priests, secular and regular, and
other clerics, are absolutely forbidden to
promote or foster the said balls, even
though IN aid Of and in support Of pious
works, or any other pious end. More
over, all clerics are forbidden to be pres

promoted by laymen.

WILSON ELATED
over SITUATION
St. Louis Convention Believed
to Have Vastly Boosted
Chances of Democracy.

President Wilson and his Cabinet were
In high spirits yesterday when they met
TO canvass the political situation as 1t
has been shaped by the national conYen-
tlons OF the past two weeks. They had
before them a mass OF telegrams OF con-
graduation upon the denomination of
the President and the Dsmocracy's pre-
paredness for the campaign. All OF these
messages teemed with confidence.
The President expressed his gratifca-
ton at the psychological effect OF the
Democratic convention. He subscribed
to the opinion that the Democratic dele
gates had conducted themselves in a
fashion becoming to the representatives
of the party in power. He had shared
with his advisers some anxiety as to the
effect of an harmonious Republican con-
vention upon the morals OF the Demo-
crste The fear had been entertained
that with their disunion ironed out the
Republicans might be enabled to set up
a current of thought to the effect that
their party constituted normal ma
iority OF the electorate. The White House
opinion now is that the outcome has been
entirely different from this.

Lewis is given due credit for being wideawake enough to take advantage of his opponents lapse. santell has confirmed this as being the cause of his defeat, and he directly attri. butes it to the rosin with which the canvas was too literally sprinkled. and which worked into a slight abras. ion of the skin on his knee. The trunks stuck at the sore spot, when santell, in order to relieve the pain, pulled at his tights. While his op- ponent's hands were down, Lewis was upon him like flash.
