years of his exile from his beloved
Spain, where his granddaughter had
been born and reared, was one of the
landmarks which linger on in stately
white walls under dark red tiles from
the time of the Spanish occupation.

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

BY II. IRVING KING

The treaty between Spain and the
United States signed at Washington
In February of 1919 brought to an end
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 1t 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
sippi from access to the coast of the
Gulf 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
1907 to 1915, while Spain was engaged
In war 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 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 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-
sented 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 British force from Fort
Barrancas, after which he withdrew.
Some months after the close of the
war of 1872 there was another inva-
sfon of Florida. The British during
the war had built 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

the United States, and 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 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 1875 between
Spain and the United States, the for
mer power had solemnly agreed that
the Florida Indians should not be al
lowed to attack the United States.
Spain not having kept that clause OF
the treaty General Jackson in 1917
was ordered to call upon the gover1~
ors of Tennessee and Georgia for sol
diers, to organize an army and to
adopt necessary measures to terInl-
nate a conflict which it 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. If 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-
tons; 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: I'VE shall hear
no more excuses from Spanish officials

The United States of South Africa,
which is now looming large in the af-
fairs of the British empire, Is one of
the results of the treaty Of Pretoria
which closed the Boer war, begun in
October of 1899.
For many years the relations be
tween the Boer republic of the Trans
vaal and Cape Colony. lying to the
south of II, had been strained with
resulting strain upon the relations be-

State, lying between Cape Colony and
the Transvaal. got along better with
the British authorities, but when the
war came threw its lot with the Boer
republic. The principal cause of fric-
ton was the hfgh-handed manner In
which, under President Kruger, "Uit-
landers," or aliens, in Transvaal were
treated. The Boer, or native, popu-
lation of the Transvaal was about TO-
600 Of whom $4,000 were voting citi-

whom spoke English, were estimated

were male adults: and in December of
1895, according TO Lord Bryce. their
numbers were increasing at the rate
of nearly 1000 a week through arriv-
ais from Cape Town alone, and 1t was
estimated that should the deep levels
OF the mines go on prospecting, by 1905
there would be an Uitlander popula-
ton In the republic of half million,
or nearly eight times as many Uitland-
ers as natives. The UItlander was
practically excluded, except in a very
limited and theoretical way, from
share In the government. But he was
taxed until the Transvaal treasury was
overlooking. And the Uitlanders were
developing the country, conducting the
large enterprises, and were the en-
ployers of labor on large scale. Also
the Transvaal government would not
provide efficient police for the mines
and refused to pass laws to keep liquor
away from the natives.
Believed Themselves Superior.
The Beers treated the Uitlander, the
British especially. with the utmost
contempt, believed themselves a supe-
rior race and able TO stand in arms
any time against Great Britain.
Naturally friction was bound to oc-
cur, and matters went from bad TO
worse until the famous Jameson raid
of 1895. Instigated by Cecil Rhodes,
Doctor Jameson, a Scottish physician,
started from Pitsani, town In Bechu-
analand. with force of about 600
men, to capture the important Boer
city of johannesburg. He had count

Still Dempton protested. There was
moon, his way ran across wide
open level land, and the rebels were
not looking for complications with
Uncle Sam.
De la Guerra, too courteous a host
to insist, smiled gravely, rose and went
into the patio with the lawyer, direct
ing Pedro to have Mr.. Dempton's horse
brought up from the stables.
"Miss Teresa, did not see her.

saddle. "She is well. HOPPER

poIefuI Sound From Farm.

Howard H. Bell, president of the
Camden County Board of Agriculture,
announces through the county farm
agent Herbert Il. Cox of Haddonfield,
the following: Many farmers of the
county lost money on peas this year
and there is doubt whether anyone
made anything on their pea crops.
Potatoes are sure to be losing crop
this season and the dry weather has
cut raspberry and blackberry crops
seriously. Wheat is very rusty now
and tomatoes had very bad start
because of dry weather blight.

The Amazon discharges the largest

Other interesting facts about these
rivers are that the length of the
Amazon is $500 miles and its width

miles at Its mouth. The ST. Lawrence
