Even when +they assured the Spanish soldiers that they had crops ripening in their +fields which would be more than sufficient to relieve their sufferings, +they were forbidden to go out and gather them, and were forced to stay +in idleness and starve.</p> + +<p>The distress is something fearful. The people in the cities endeavor to +help their suffering neighbors, but gradually their own supply of +provisions has run out, until starvation stares them also in the face. +There is hardly a town in the western end of Cuba to-day where the +people are not dying in hundreds from hunger.</p> + +<p>Among the people who have been driven into the towns are between six +hundred and eight hundred Americans. The distress of these persons, whom +his oath of office binds him to protect, having been brought to the +knowledge of the President, he has determined to take some action to +relieve it.</p> + +<p>In his message to Congress he asked that $50,000 be appropriated as a +Relief Fund for the Americans in Cuba.</p> + +<p>This may be but the first step toward a much more <a name="Page_243" id="Page_243"></a>important action; but +our President seems to be a very cautious man, and one who likes to be +very sure of his ground before he takes a step.</p> + +<p>For the present he is determined not to quarrel with Spain, and has +arranged matters so that the attempt of the United States to aid her +citizens shall be made with the full approval of Spain.</p> + +<p>He has asked Señor Dupuy de Lôme, the Spanish Minister, if his +Government would have any objection to our sending supplies to our +fellow-countrymen.</p> + +<p>The Spanish Minister has very graciously replied that Spain will not +oppose the plan, but will do all in her power to help the United States +to carry it out.</p> + +<p>The Minister was kind enough to add that Spain will distribute the +supplies for us, if we wish it. He stated that he fears that, unless the +American supplies are handled by the Spanish authorities, they may fall +into the hands of the insurgents, and hinder General Weyler in the +carrying out of his plan to force the rebels into submission.</p> + +<p>This offer will not be accepted.</p> + +<p>If the appropriation is made, Congress will order the supplies to be +distributed by the American Consuls, who are well able to tell the +difference between armed insurgents and starving women and children.</p> + +<p>When the President's message reached the Senate, a resolution was at +once passed that the sum asked for be appropriated.</p> + +<p>In the House of Representatives the request was not so quickly granted.</p> + +<p>Some of the Congressmen met the demand with a plea that the resolution +for the appropriation be added to the Morgan Bill for recognizing the +belligerency of<a name="Page_244" id="Page_244"></a> Cuba, and that the two matters be discussed and voted +on at the same time.</p> + +<p>This did not please the majority of the members, and the House adjourned +without a vote being taken about the Relief Fund.</p> + +<p>This does not mean that the House is unwilling to help the Americans in +Cuba, but that the friends of Cuba see in it a chance to push the Morgan +Bill forward, and are trying to make the best they can of the +opportunity.</p> + +<p>Whatever the fate of the Morgan Bill, there will be a day or two of +delay in passing the resolution for the Relief Fund, but it will be +passed without doubt.</p> + +<p>Some progress has, however, been made with the Morgan Bill.</p> + +<p>Three members of the Committee on Foreign Relations waited on the +President, and asked him if he had received any fresh news about the +state of affairs in Cuba.</p> + +<p>The President sent them to the State Department, with permission to read +all the official documents about Cuba that were on file.</p> + +<p>It is stated on good authority that these papers showed such a state of +intense suffering and distress, that when the Senators reported to their +Committee the things they had seen and read in the State papers, several +of the members declared that they would no longer oppose the Morgan +Bill.</p> + +<p>The Bill was discussed in the Senate after the appropriation had been +granted, but no decision was arrived at.</p> + +<p>Should it pass, the first benefit the Cubans will gain from it will be +that Spain will have to treat the people <a name="Page_245" id="Page_245"></a>she captures as prisoners of +war, or else be prepared to quarrel with the United States over the +matter.</p> + +<p>At the present time she is able to declare that every prisoner she makes +is a rebel, and to shoot her captives down like dogs, without trial. The +soldiers are in the habit of seizing boys and old men, most of them +innocent of any crime whatever, and marching them to prison as rebels.</p> + +<p>In most of the military towns, it is stated that at dawn every morning +one or more of these captives are led out and shot in the public square +as an example to the rest of the people.</p> + +<p>To venture outside the lines in search of food is a crime for which many +Cubans have forfeited their lives.</p> + +<p>The President is not unaware of these horrors, but he is determined to +be sure that he knows the truth of the matter before he takes any +decisive action.</p> + +<p>He has sent Mr. Calhoun to Cuba to investigate the cause of the death of +Dr. Ricardo Ruiz, who died or was killed in the prison of Guanabacoa, as +we told you in <span class='smcap'>The Great Round World, No.</span> 19.</p> + +<p>While he is in the island on this business, Mr. Calhoun is also to make +notes of the general condition of things, and the President will be +guided in his future Cuban policy by the report Mr. Calhoun makes.</p> + +<p>There is a very grave reason why it is necessary for the President to +take some action on Cuba at this moment. Diseases of the most serious +kind have broken out in Cuba, and it is feared that they may be carried +into our own country, unless some steps are taken to prevent them.<a name="Page_246" id="Page_246"></a></p> + +<p>As we have said, no attempt has been made to protect, feed, or house the +people who have been brought into the towns; and the overcrowding and +hunger and misery have produced every form of fever and sickness, from +which these poor unfortunates are dying in great numbers.</p> + +<p>The best way to prevent the spreading of these diseases is to stop the +causes that give rise to them. It may therefore be necessary, for the +protection of this country, that the President take some steps to put an +end to the struggle in Cuba.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>There is as yet no settlement of the trouble between Greece and Turkey.</p> + +<p>When the Greeks decided to put their affairs in the hands of Europe, the +Powers sent to Turkey, asking her on what terms she would make peace, +and if she would grant an armistice while the matter was being +discussed.</p> + +<p>An armistice means that both sides agree to cease fighting for a certain +time which has been agreed upon between them.</p> + +<p>After the delay of a week, during which the Turks kept pressing forward +into Greece and gaining all the advantages they could, the Sultan sent +his reply.</p> + +<p>He simply stated his terms, and added that he would grant no armistice +until they were accepted.</p> + +<p>Instead of demanding $15,000,000 and certain points in Thessaly, as it +was supposed he would do, he said that he must have $50,000,000 for his +war expenses, and the whole of Thessaly.</p> + +<p>The dismay in Europe over the reply of the Sultan would have been comic, +if the poor Greeks had not <a name="Page_247" id="Page_247"></a>been suffering so severely from the muddle +the Powers had made of the whole business.</p> + +<p>The Powers supposed that Turkey would he willing to listen to them, and +stop the war just as soon as they asked her to.</p> + +<p>Acting on this belief, they made Greece give up certain advantages which +she had regained in Epirus, and made her withdraw her troops, promising +that Turkey should not advance any farther, if Greece would obey their +wishes.</p> + +<p>Greece obeyed, only to find that the Powers had made promises which they +could not perform.</p> + +<p>Turkey has become intoxicated with her success, and may no longer allow +the Powers to influence her.</p> + +<p>The Turks have taken Dhomokos, the last stronghold of the Greeks, who +fell back on this city after the retreat from Pharsala. It is feared +that the Moslems will advance to the very gates of Athens, unless +something is done to prevent them. What this something shall be, the +Powers are at a loss to state.</p> + +<p>Backed by the approval of Germany, the modern Turks are no longer the +despised nation they have been for so long. It has been the custom to +speak of the Sultan as the "Unspeakable Turk" and "The Sick Man of +Europe," whom the Powers were keeping alive until they had quite decided +how to divide his possessions.</p> + +<p>Turkey's success in Greece has changed all this.</p> + +<p>Every one knew that the Turks could fight well, but it was the custom to +treat them contemptuously, and say that after all they were "only +Turks." The short war with Greece has put an end to this feeling for +good and all. The Turks have proved themselves a <a name="Page_248" id="Page_248"></a>powerful nation. They +have won back their own self-respect, and have forced Europe to take a +more respectful attitude toward them.</p> + +<p>They have surprised the world with their bravery and their fine +generalship; and there is beginning to be a good deal of fear lest this +despised nation shall rise in its newly-found might, and dictate to +Europe.</p> + +<p>The Turks, despite their victory, are still the same shifty, cruel, +unpleasant people; and the Powers must feel a good deal ashamed that the +only result of their diplomacy has been to put fresh power into the +hands of people who are a blot on the face of Europe, and who would much +better have been driven back into Asia among peoples who are more in +sympathy with their savagery and semi-barbarism.</p> + +<p>But the Powers have now to deal gently with the Turk.</p> + +<p>They have sent another message to the Sultan, demanding that hostilities +cease while the terms of peace are being discussed. No reply was made to +the Sultan's note, but the message stated that Europe would not allow +Greece to be crushed.</p> + +<p>It is said that if the Sultan persists in asking the unreasonable terms +he does, and will not grant the armistice unless they are accepted, +Europe will declare war upon him.</p> + +<p>There may be another week of waiting before the Sultan sends any reply +to this letter.</p> + +<p>The Sultan is anxious to gain time, because every advantage he can gain +in Greece makes his price for peace just that much higher. He has a plan +of his own for gaining time, which is extremely annoying to Europeans. +It <a name="Page_249" id="Page_249"></a>is this. In the Mohammedan religion there are a great number of +fasts and feasts. The Sultan, who till now has not been noted for his +piety, has suddenly become the most religious of persons.</p> + +<p>When he receives a letter from the Powers that he wants to keep a few +days before he answers it, he sends them a most gracious note, saying +that it is the feast of so-and-so, and it is contrary to his religion to +attend to business during the days appointed for the festival.</p> + +<p>By this manoeuvre he manages to keep his army fighting and winning +battles, while Europe is helplessly waiting for his answer. After the +Powers had asked for an armistice he used this pretext to delay +answering for a whole week.</p> + +<p>The European diplomats, who are made the victims of the Sultan's +devotion to fasts and feasts, wonder why he allows his army to continue +the business of war during these times if he is really so pious as he +pretends to be.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>A report has just been spread that Russia has frightened the Sultan into +ceasing hostilities until the terms of peace can be arranged.</p> + +<p>It is to be hoped that this is true.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>The mining district of Kootenay in British Columbia is the scene of much +agitation at this moment.</p> + +<p>Kootenay lies on the border of British Columbia, where it joins the +States of Montana, Idaho, and Washington.</p> + +<p>In this region there are extensive gold mines, many of which are worked +and owned by Americans, who <a name="Page_250" id="Page_250"></a>have been very successful, and made the +mines pay exceedingly well.</p> + +<p>To their surprise and annoyance, the Legislature of British Columbia +passed a law the other day, making it impossible for Americans to take +up any claims, unless they give up their American citizenship and become +British subjects.</p> + +<p>It is said that numbers of Americans who have crossed the borders from +Idaho and Montana are deprived of their finds by this law, and there is +a great deal of excitement and indignation over it.</p> + +<p>The Government of British Columbia says that the law was passed as a +rebuke to Americans, because the United States Government has been +making laws which are hurtful to Canadians.</p> + +<p>Some of the American mine-owners became so alarmed that they took out +their naturalization papers. Others determined to defy the law, and +commenced hostilities by sending the ore they got from their mines over +the border into Washington, to be smelted.</p> + +<p>This took a good deal of business and money out of the hands of the +Canadians, and there was an outbreak of indignation over it.</p> + +<p>There promises to be a good deal of trouble before the matter is +settled.</p> + +<p>The Canadians will allow no American workmen to be employed on the +Public Works, nor can they hold any good positions in the towns.</p> + +<p>The Americans profess not to mind this in the least, declaring that the +Canadians are welcome to manage their towns as they please, if they will +only let the Americans in the mines alone.<a name="Page_251" id="Page_251"></a></p> + +<p>This law against Americans does not, however, meet with the approval of +the Canadian Parliament, the Legislature which passed it being only the +local one of British Columbia.</p> + +<p>Many of the Canadian mine-owners are as annoyed over the matter as the +Americans are. They say that the citizens are helping to open up their +country, and that it will be a bad thing for British Columbia if the +Legislature makes it impossible for Americans to remain there.</p> + +<p>The chances are that the Parliament will take the matter in hand and +straighten it out. We can but hope that it will do so, for Americans and +Canadians have so many ways in which they can be helpful to one another, +that it will be a pity if they become estranged.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>Mr. Elverton R. Chapman has gone to Washington to serve his sentence of +thirty days in jail; and Mr. Havemeyer is also in that city, awaiting +his trial.</p> + +<p>Efforts were made by Mr. Chapman's friends to obtain a pardon for him, +and a petition was circulated among the Senators, begging the President +to release him. No action was taken, however, because Mr. Chapman did +not personally ask for the pardon; so he has gone to jail. When he has +served his sentence he will still have a fine of $100 to pay before he +can be freed.</p> + +<p>The Senate Committee which Mr. Chapman offended must not be mistaken for +the Lexow Committee which held its sessions a few months ago.</p> + +<p>Mr. Chapman's breach of the law took place in<a name="Page_252" id="Page_252"></a> 1894. In that year the +United States Senate held a Sugar Trust Investigation.</p> + +<p>The committee in charge of the investigation asked Mr. Chapman to give +the names of some of the Senators who were said to have been speculating +in sugar stock.</p> + +<p>Mr. Chapman refused to answer, and was arrested and tried for contempt +of the Senate. He was found guilty and sentenced to thirty days in jail +and a fine of $100.</p> + +<p>For three years Mr. Chapman has been fighting this decision, on the +ground that the question was not a proper one to ask, and that he had +been right in refusing to answer it.</p> + +<p>The result of the various appeals in this case has been watched for with +the greatest interest.</p> + +<p>The final decision has upheld the dignity of the Senate, and shown the +people that a Senate committee is not to be trifled with.</p> + +<p>The Senate itself was a little ruffled over the matter.</p> + +<p>When it was proposed that the President should be asked to pardon Mr. +Chapman, Senator Allen, of Nebraska, introduced a resolution that before +the President should be applied to for pardon, Mr. Chapman must appear +before the Senate, and purge himself of his contempt by answering the +questions that he had refused to answer three years ago.</p> + +<p>Mr. Chapman would probably have still persisted in his refusal, and got +himself into fresh trouble; so it was perhaps a good thing for him that +he did not personally apply for a pardon.</p> + +<p>Mr. Havemeyer's lawyers are busy over his case. They intend to say in +his defence that the questions <a name="Page_253" id="Page_253"></a>asked him had nothing to do with the +matter in hand, and that he also was right in refusing to answer them.</p> + +<p>In the mean time Mr. Havemeyer is using his personal influence to +persuade the Senators not to prosecute him and to let his case be +withdrawn when the day appointed to try it comes round.</p> + +<p>It is more than likely, however, that Mr. Havemeyer and Mr. Searles will +both have to share Mr. Chapman's fate, and pay the penalty of their +contempt of the Senate.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>The log of the <i>Mayflower</i> is now safely in this country.</p> + +<p>It was brought over by Mr. Bayard, the former Ambassador to England, who +arrived here a day or two ago.</p> + +<p>When the Bishop of London handed the manuscript to Mr. Bayard, he told +him that an application had been made by Mr. Hay, the new Ambassador, +for the log to be turned over to him, as Mr. Bayard was now no longer +the Ambassador of the United States.</p> + +<p>The persons who had the log in charge decided that Mr. Bayard was the +proper person to carry the manuscript to Boston, as all arrangements had +been made with him, and so Mr. Hay's request was denied.</p> + +<p>Before the manuscript was given to Mr. Bayard, a clerk read the +conditions of the transfer of the "log."

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/15619-h/images/agent.jpg b/15619-h/images/agent.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4be9c96 --- /dev/null +++ b/15619-h/images/agent.jpg diff --git a/15619-h/images/bullseye.jpg b/15619-h/images/bullseye.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..64604ed --- /dev/null +++ b/15619-h/images/bullseye.jpg diff --git a/15619-h/images/coverdark-tb.jpg b/15619-h/images/coverdark-tb.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ffc8401 --- /dev/null +++ b/15619-h/images/coverdark-tb.jpg diff --git a/15619-h/images/coverdark.jpg b/15619-h/images/coverdark.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6b5442d --- /dev/null +++ b/15619-h/images/coverdark.jpg diff --git a/15619-h/images/favbicycle.jpg b/15619-h/images/favbicycle.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bd58183 --- /dev/null +++ b/15619-h/images/favbicycle.jpg diff --git a/15619-h/images/pocketkodak.jpg b/15619-h/images/pocketkodak.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4c40f64 --- /dev/null +++ b/15619-h/images/pocketkodak.jpg diff --git a/15619-h/images/premiumsdiv.jpg b/15619-h/images/premiumsdiv.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..838ddd6 --- /dev/null +++ b/15619-h/images/premiumsdiv.jpg diff --git a/15619-h/images/title.jpg b/15619-h/images/title.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b061da3 --- /dev/null +++ b/15619-h/images/title.jpg diff --git a/15619-h/images/trialratea.jpg b/15619-h/images/trialratea.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b728f2d --- /dev/null +++ b/15619-h/images/trialratea.jpg diff --git a/15619-h/images/verticalpens-tb.jpg b/15619-h/images/verticalpens-tb.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..de256fa --- /dev/null +++ b/15619-h/images/verticalpens-tb.jpg diff --git a/15619-h/images/verticalpens.jpg b/15619-h/images/verticalpens.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..64e4eaf --- /dev/null +++ b/15619-h/images/verticalpens.jpg |
