New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1919-07-18

The treaty between Spain and the
United States signed at Washington
in February of 1919 brought to an end
a state of war; which, without any
actual proclamation, existed in fact
between the two countries, and gave
Florida to the latter. 1t was In this
treaty that the United States intro
duced that novelty in diplomacy of
paying for regions which it had pre-
viOusly obtained by conquest; a pol
icy which was afterwards followed
with regard to the treaties closing the
Mexican war and the last war with
Spain. The possession of Florida by
Spain shut out Alabama and Missis-
sippi from access to the coast of the
Gulf of Mexico, which extended vest /;
and by holding of Amelia Island at
the mouth of the st. Mary's on the At
lantlc was a 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
1907 to 1915, while Spain was engaged
in wal in Europe and by revolt among
her American colonies, criminals of all
sorts from everywhere sought a 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 to 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 revOlted South American colonies
greatly irritated 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 q 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 a nominal
ly friendly power by selling Pensacola
and driving a British force from Fort
Barrancas. after which he withdrew.
Some months after the close Of the
wal of 1912 there was another inva-
sion of Florida. The British during
the war had built a strong fort on
the Appalachicola and did not evacu-
ate II when the wal closed. Instead
the British commander stirred up the
Indians, outlaws and negroes against

the results of the treaty Of Pretoria
which closed the Boer war, begun In
October Of 1899.
For man. years the relations be-
tween the Boer republic of the Trans
vaal and Cape Colony, lying to the
south OF 1t. had been strained with a
resulting strain upon the relations be-
tween the Transvaal and the Brit
ish government. The Orange Free
State. lying between Cape Colony and
the Transvaal, got along better win
the British authorities, but when the
war came threw its lot with the Boer
republic. The principal of fric-
ton was the high-handed In

landers," or aliens, in Transvaal were
treated. The Boer, or native, popu-

Of nearly 1000 a week through arriv-

the T%ransvaal government would not
provide efficient police for the mines
and refused to pass laws to keep liquor
away from the natives.

The Beers treated the Uitlander. the
British especially. with the utmost
contempt. believed themselves a supe-

the United States, and a border war
began. Having done this he departed,
leaving a garrison in the fort well sup
piled with arms and ammunition, not
only for their own use but enough for
distribution to their fellows. Spain
was appealed TO In vain to take action
and after waiting a year an American
man-of-war proceeded to Fort Bar
rancas, destroyed the fort and its am
munition and dispersed its garrison.
Florida had become an unbearable
nuisance.
Now, by the treaty of 1895 between
Spain and the United States, the for
mel power had sOlemnly agreed that
the Florida Indians should not be al
lowed to attack the United States,
Spain o having kept that clause OF
the treaty General Jackson in 1917
was ordered TO call upon the govern
ors of Tennessee and Georgia for SOL
diers, to organize an army and TO
adopt necessary measures to termi-
nate n conflict which 1t has been the
desire of the president to avoid. but
which is now made necessary by their
settled hostilities."
The British parliament and people
cried out for war. Spain wanted to
know If the United States was at war
with her. II not she demanded the
surrender of the captured places and
the punishment of General Jackson.
The French minister offered himself
as intermediary and diplomatic dis
cussion went on until on November %,
Secretary of State Adams sent an ulti-
matum to Spain. Jackson would not
be even censured the captured places
would be restored when Spain gave
guarantees for fulfilling treaty Obliga-
tions; the Spanish officials In Florida
must be punished for neglect of duty
and an indemnity paid the United
States to cover the expenses OF the
war. And he added: "We shall hear
no more excuses from Spanish officials
Of their inability to perform their
duty"
The French minister had secret In
structions to back up Spain II the war
was continued and England was wait
ing to see how the cat jumped;'
Ca~stlereagh saying that he bad but
to hold up his finger to place the Unit
ed States and Great Britain at war
again. Nevertheless the ultimatum
Of Mr.. Adams cleared the atmosphere.
Spain was making little or no progress
against her revolted colonies In South
America and Mr.. Adams and the Span
ish minister, Don Louis de Onis, began
negotiations which we're soon trans
ferred from Washington to Madrid,
finally resulting in the signing at
Washington on February %, 1919, OF
a treaty Of sanity. settlements and
limits"

He was not supported and was taken
prisoner on January 2. 1896. Jameson,
the American mining engineer, John
Hays Hammond, and several others OF
prominence among the Uitlanders,
were thrown into prison. jameson
was sent to England for trial. where
he was found guilty of violating the
foreign enlistment act and sentenced
to ten months Imprisonment, but was
let off through the efforts of the Amer
lean government and banished from the
country.
This raid gave an excuse to Kruger
foi more repressive measures against
the Uitlanders. Relations between
Great Britain and the Transvaal be-
came more and more strained until at
last, In October Of 1899, wal broke
out. The Beers were a people who
''could shoot and ride; immense
stretches of territory had to be fought
over where the Boer was perfectly at
hcme; he was ably led and fought
within handy reach Of his bases OF
supplies. The British were poorly Of
ficered ut first; the British govern
ment failed to realize the prowess of
its enemy until its armies had suffered
repeated reverses; and 1t was conduct
ing a var many thousands of miles
away and doing II by "the bookish the
ory," until sad experience taught
n bitter lesson. II was not until
Kitchener and Roberts were finally
sent down there that British arms re-
covered their prestige.
The Beers besieged Ladysmith on
October %. 1899. and II was not until
February %. 1900, that the town was
relieved. Kimberly was besieged on
October IA, and not relieved until Feb
ruary Is Of the following year, while
the siege Of Mafeking lasted from Oc-
tober Il. 1890, to May 10 Of the next
year. The capture of Cronje's army
Mt the Modder river on February % OF
1900 and the taking Of Pretoria on
June 3 were other notable events Of
the war. The Beers still held out in
small bands and II was not until 1902
that a peace was finally concluded.
On May 81, 1902, a treaty was signed
by the British and Boer representa-
tives at the Boer capital. Pretoria. By
this treaty the Transvaal and the Or
ange Free State came under Brit
ish colonial government. No punish
ment was to be imposed upon the de-
feated by way Of Indemnity or fines,
or in any other way. and the rights of
the Beers to a participation In the
government was guaranteed.
