FAMOUS
PEACE TREATIES
TREATY OF ST. PETERSBURG, 1772.

BY H. IRVING. KING

Poland, having been taken off the
map by treaty. is now to be put
back again by another treaty. In the
latter part of the fourteenth century
Poland was the dominant power in east
ern Europe. Her dominion extended
from the Baltic to the Dnieper and
pressed down upon Austria to the
south, while Red Russia, White Rus
sia, Black Russia and the Ukraine
were hers. Prussia was little state
huddled up in corner on the Baltic,
and surrounded on the other sides by
Poland. Courland and Livonla were
Polish provinces. The Prussians or
Borussians, were an idolatrous tribe
who INDUCED in human sacrifices md
Poland called in the Teutonic knights
to subdue them.
The Teutonic knights subdued the
Borussians, but they turned Prussia
into militant little state which be-
gan at once wars to increase its ter
ritory. Hohenzollern had himself
elected head of the Teutonic knights
and thus began the house of Rohen-
zollern. and that power destined to
have such large share in the down
fall of Poland and to be such II men,
ace to the world, sprung from race
II savages led by an adventurer.
AS late as 1868, when the American
colonies were already settled common
wealths, Poland was so powerful that
her king, John Sobieski, marching with
4 Polish army, relieved the siege of
Vienna and saved Europe from being
overrun by the Turk.
Dynasty Came to an End.
With the death of Sigismund Angus
tus in 1872, the dynasty of the old
kings came to an end and Poland
adopted system of elective kings, and
new constitution which worked out
badly and contributed to the downfall
2f the nation. The Polish diet elected
tie King. It consisted Of chamber
of peers and house of representa-
lives of the lesser mobiles. The diet
sat only six weeks each year and its
decisions were obliged to be unani-
nous to be effective. Also there was
4 recognized right of any mobiles con-
decorating together to enforce their
will by the power of arms. Naturally
the result was discord and sometimes
civil war. Russia, the growing Prus-
STA and Austria fostered these internal
1isagreements with hungry looks on
Polish territory.
A large number of Germans found
The Colorado statesman. [volume] (Denver, Colo.) 1895-1961, 1919-08-09

their way into the country, gathered
to themselves business and industries
and worked their propaganda.
In 1878 the election of Augustus III
to the Polish throne was accomplished
by open bribery and under the guard of
Russian soldiers.
Poland Stirred to War.
But Poland did not die without a
struggle. Kosciusko. who had served
under Washington during the Ameri-
can revolution, returned to the native
country, inspired the spirit of pa
triotism into his fellow Poles and
stirred all Poland into war against her
oppressors. The Poles fought brave
ly and defeated the Russians in the
fierce battle of Dubienka. But now
Prussian army entered Poland,
Kosciusko was defeated and Poland
overrun. The Austrian troops had
Joined with the armies OF Russia and
Prussia and the three powers, in the
face of the protests of the western
powers and the outbursts of indigna-
ton from all upright men, proceeded
to third partition which gave TO
Prussia 22,000 square miles of ter
ritory with 100000 inhabitants, to
Russia $4,000 square miles with g.
100000 inhabitants; Austria had been
slow and got nothing this time. y
general rising of the Poles followed
and again the leader was Kosciusko.
Hordes of Russian and German soldiers
were poured into Poland and at length,
on October 10, at the battle of Macie-
jowice, Kosciusko was defeated and
taken prisoner, and Freedom shrek
ed as Kosciusko FELL" wrote the poet
Campbell. The victorious Austrians,
Russians and Prussians now proceed
ed to finish their work by taking Po-
land off the map altogether. OF what
they had not stolen before they pro-
ceeded to portion out to themselves
the remnants of the kingdom was as
follows: Russia, $4,000 square miles
with 100000 inhabitants; Prussia, p,
600 square miles with 100000 inhabi-
.ants. Austria had taken part in this
last subjugation of Kusciusko and got
$4,000 square miles with 100000 in
habitants. The deal begun at the sign
ing of the treaty of st. Petersburg on
August 5, 1772, was completed. Po-
land ceased to exist. AS full of crimes
as history is 1t contains no record of
such another cold-blooded crime by CIV
ilized and Christian powers as the an
utilization of Poland.

After all, 1t took four months atter
the signing of the armistice TO sign
treaty with Spain after the Spanish
war. And that was comparhtiVeiS
simple affair with only two nations III
volved. The protocol, or amistlce,
was signed on August II, 1898, ana
the treaty signed on December ~
four months lacking two days from
the ceasing of hostilities. The treaty
was not ratified by the senate untii
April IL of 1899. So, theoretically, we
were at war with Spain for year
lacking few days, although actual mil
itary operations did not last many
DAYS over three months.
The principal events of the Spanish
American war most people remember.
War was declared by Spain on April
"a and by the United States on April
Oh There was curious little eXhi-
bition of "Castilian pride" about that.
Spain learned on April "a that the
United States was going to declare war
the next day and promptly declared II
herself. Another interesting point is
that the United States began the
blockade of a part only of the Cuban
coast at first and began II two days
before Spain declared war and three
slays before we declared 1t. Ana the
American proclamation OF war was
made retroactive to April q. Dewey
entered Manila bay May / and de-
stroyed the Spanish fleet there.
Cervera's fleet got into Santiago on
Nav 10, where 1t was bottled up by
the fleet under Sampson and Schley-
Sampson being senior officer. Inc
American expedition landed at Dali
ouiri June 20-22, and the battles of El
Caney and San Juan Hill took place
on July 1-2. On July the Spanish
fleet attempted to escape and was. de-
stroyed in the naval battle of Santi-
ago Santiago surrendered on July
II and the campaign in Porto Rico be-
gan on July %, and was in progress at
the signing of the armistice. Mania
was captured ON August IL, the day
after the protocol was signed. Ma
Mia had been practically at the mercy
of the Americans since the May morn
ing on which Dewey destroyed the
SPANISH fleet. 1t had been only n
question of getting American troops
there to occupy the place In sufficient
force.
Spain Was Sullen.
Spain's attempt to stand against the
mower of the United States had every
where resulted in disaster to the Span
jsh arms. Her fleets had been swept
from the seas and her colonial posses
sions were in American hands. She
could carry on no more war overseas,
hut threatened to sit sullenly at home
and defy the United States still. But
after the battle of Santiago the Unit
ell States began preparing heet TO

| sugar, the rind of an orange, grated,
and one-half cupful of water. Pour
the hot strip over the well-beaten
yolks of four eggs, add a pint of cream
or rich milk and freeze.
To make Nesselrode pudding, add
one cupful of cooked and mashed chest
nuts, one cupful of minced candied
fruit soaked in orange juice until soft
and one cupful Of pineapple. Flavor
with almond and rose and freeze as
usual.
Cocoa Parfalt.-Boil a cupful of
sugar with one-half cupful of water
ten minutes: pour the sirup over four
tablespoonfuls of cocoa which has been
beaten with four egg yolks; cook over
hot water until of the consistency of
soft custard. Beat until cold add two
cupfuls of cream which has been beat
en- stiff, teaspoonful of vanilla and
one-auarter of a teaspoonful of salt.
Turn into a mold and pack in equal
measures of ice and salt. Let stand
four hours; unmold and garnish with
sweetened and favored whipped cream
piped around with parfait.
Velvet Sherbet.-Take two cupfuls
of sugar, the juice OF three lemons ana
quart of good rich milk. Freeze and
let stand for two hours to ripen.
Strawberry and raspberry ice cream
are most delicious. Mash a quart of
the berries, strain carefully and sweet
en- with a strip made of sugar and
water cooked together and cooled. Add
n quart of rich milk or milk and cream
Or thin cream, which is better; then
freeze A pinch of salt should be add
ed TO ali frozen dishes. The strip used
instead of sugar in this recipe insures
a firmer frozen dish.

TREATY OF PARIS, 1893


| cross the Atlantic and attack the
shores of Spain. AS soon as 1t be-
came evident that the purpose was
reality and not bluff other European
powers put diplomatic pressure" on
| Spain to end the war. The prospect of
American guns awaking he echoes of
European hills was not looked forward
to in 1898 with the eager pleasure that
1t was anticipated by some nations a
year and half ago. Spain did not
need much urging, and on July % the
Spanish minister of state transmitted
through the French ambassador at
Washington a letter to President Nc
Kinley asking for peace. This letter
reached the president on July &c, and
four days later the secretary of state,
Mr.. Day, replied, stating the terms
upon which an armistice would be con-
cluded. They were: The evacuation
of Cuba by Spain and the relinquish-
ment of all claims of sovereignty over
that island; the cession of Porto Rico
and all other Spanish West Indian
islands to the United States; the ces-
sion TO the United States of an island
United States, and the occupation by
the United States of the city and bay
of Manila pending a treaty of peace
which should determine the disposition
of the Philippines.
On August u M. Jules Cambon, the
French ambassador, signed on behalf
of Spain the protocol, or terms of
armistice, in which were embodied not
only the demands stated bur three 9th
er articles providing for the method of
evacuating Cuba and Porto Rico Fight
ing stopped 1t was arranged that
peace delegates should meet at Paris
in October. Mr.. Day resigned his
office as secretary of state in order to
accept an appointment as first dele
gate. The other delegates were Senn-
tors Davis of Minnesota and Frye of
Maine, and Whitelaw Reid of New
York Spain sent like delegation.
Philippines Stumbling Block.
The principal stumbling block was
reached when the commissioners came
to consider the Philippines. Having
taken them and destroyed the only
government in the islands the United
States could hardly go away and leave
them loose in the world, as 1t were.
Other nations had envious eyes on
them and stood ready to grasp the
fruits of American success. Spain re-
fused to give them up and threatened
to break off negotiations. The United
States made the cession of the islands
an ultimatum and, running true to
form" in paying cash for what she had
already obtained by conquest, offered
Spain twenty million dollars if She
gave them up. Spain yielded and tho
treaty was signed on December 10.
