ENGLAND BACKED UP>N 1898.

It was only because Of assurances
that England opposed the European
coalition against us in 1898 that VIII
liam Mckinley was free to take what
ever steps he chose with regard to
Cuba, He knew at the time, what
the whole world has since learned,
that the rulers of 'tMittel Europa"
had no, intention of permitting the
United States to destroy the last ves-
tige Of the old colonial system in
America, If they could help 1t. The
Queen Of Spain was close to the AUS
TRAN throne. And the Emperor of
Germany had designs Of his own in
the Caribbean. To fight Spain was
one thing. To defy Europe anoth-
err.
And yet the question was not even
discussed. Congress acted as If 1t
didn't exist, as If Won Ho1leben, am
bassador from Germany, and Won
Hengelmu1ler, from Austria. had not
urged Intervention upon the whole
diplomatic corps in Washingtof-and
as If the British Foreign Office was
not being besieged j. by a Prussian
messenger literally beseeching per-
mission to f1out the Yankee. Nc
Kinley and Congress were right. There
was nothing to fear. The Kaiser,
head Of the autocratic family, dare
not move in the face Of the English
stand. He tried the game in a ten
tative way in Manila, Bay. He sent
an, admiral to fight George Dewey, In
all preba bi1ity Dewey could have taxi
en- care of himself. But the German
found not only Dewey there. He
found Chichester. And not only
Chichester, but the British Empire.
What VIE know of the matter can be
summarized ! in the Kaissr's own
words. eff had had a larger fleet
I would have taken Uncle Sam by the
sefuff Of the neck" It was the same
