FAMOUS
PEACE TREATIES
BY H. IRVING KING
TREATY OF WASHINGTON, 1919.
pac. which
BY III. IRVING KING

The treaty between Spain and the
United States signed at Washington
In February of 1919 brought 10 an end
state Of war" which. without any
actual proclamation, existed In fact
between the two countries, and gave
Florida TO the latter. II was In this
treaty that the United States intro
duced that novelty in diplomacy Of
paying for regions which 1t had pre-
yiously obtained by conquest; a pol
icy which was afterwards followed
with regard 10 the treaties closing the
Mexican war and the last war with
Spain. The possession Of Florida by
Spain shut ont Alabama and Missis-
sippi from access to the coast Of the
Cuff Of Mexico, which extended west :
and by holding of Amelia Island at
the mouth Of the St Mary's on the At
lantic was constant irritation TO
Georgia. The Florida coasts. both on
the Atlantic and the Gulf, furnished
rendezvous for pirates and smugglers
and through the years of tumult from
1901 to 1915, while Spain was engaged
in war in Europe and by revolt among
her American colonies. criminals Of all
sorts from everywhere sought refuge
in Florida. where they were joined By
runaway slaves from the United States.
Although the rebellion Of the other
colonies Of Spanish-America did not
spread 70 Florida, the mother country
was unable TO give effective aid to the
governor Of that colony and at one
time the governor wrote TO the Amer
lean secretary Of state saying that he
would be Obliged to ask the United
States TO take charge of the colony I'M
less he received aid from Spain. The
attitude Of the United States toward
the reyolted South American colonies
greatly lrritated Spain and the United
States was irritated by the fact that
the British had used Florida as a
base Of operations in the war Of 1872.
Beginning of a Border War.
Then there was another cause of
quarrel In settling up matters with
the European powers after the Ma
poleOnic wars the United States pre-
scented a little bill to Spain Of over
seven million dollars for damage done
to American shipping-and Spain
showed no disposition to settle up.
During the war Of 1912, Andrew Jack
son invaded the territory Of nominal
ly friendly power by selling Pensacola
and driving a British force from Fort
Barraneas. after which he withdrew.
Some months after the close of the
war Of 1912 there was another inya-
sion Of Florida The British during
the war had built a strong fort on
the Appalachicola and did not evacu-
ate II when the war closed. Instead
the BrItish commander stirred up the
Indians, outlaws and negroes against
