Problems and conditions moro or less in common with tbeso now existing havo confronted this government at various times In the past. Tho story of Cubit for many years has been one of unrest; growing discontent, an effort toward a larger enjoyment of nuerty ana of organized roslitancc to the mother country! of depression after distress and warfare, and of Ineffectual settlement to be followed by re newed revolt.

Tho 1mm tto amelioration of existing ho new administration of Cuban affairs Is prca cd, und therewithal tho disturbance un! u'l occasion for any change of on tho part or tho United States. Discussion of the quostlon of the International duties nml responsibilities ot tho United States, as Spain understands them, Is prevented, ulth an apparent disposition to charge us with failure la this regard. This charge Is without any basis in fact. It could not have been made If Spain had been made' cognizant of the constant efforts this government has made, ut the cost of millions and by the employment of the administrative machinery of the nation at command to perform Us full duty according to tho law of nations. Our Duty Wholly Performed. That It has successfully prevented tho departure of a single military expedition or armed vessel from our shores In t lolallon of our laws would seem to bo n sufficient answer. Hut ot this aspect of the Spanish note It Is not necessary to speak further now. I'lrin In tho conviction of u wholly performed obligation due response to this charge has been made In diplomat course. Throughout all these horrors and dancers to our own pjuce this goternment has never In any uay abrogated Us sovereign prerogative of reserving to Itself the determination of Its policy nnd course according to Its own high sense of right, nnd In consonance with the dearest and convictions ot our own people should the prolongation of tho strife so demand. Untried Measures Iteraalnlng. Of the untried measures there remain only Keeognltlon ot tho Insurgents ns belligerents, recognition of the Independence of Cuba; neutral Intervention to end tho war by Imposing a rational compromise b;lwecn these contestants i nd lntcrrcntlon In favor of ono or tho other luirty I speak not of forclblo annexation, for that can not be thought ;of, That by our rode 91 morality, would tie criminal nggrosslon. Keeognltlon of tho belligerency ot tbo Cuban Insurgents has often been canvassed at n Incvllablo step, both in regard to tho Ion years' struggle, and during tho present war. A former Opinion of Congress, lam not unmindful that the two houses of rangrost. In tho spring of low, expressed tho i pinion bv concurrent resolution that a condition of publlo war existed requiring or Justifying tho recognition of n stuto of belligerency In Cuba, and during the exu tra session senate voted tho Joint resolution of like Import which, however, was not brought to a vote in tho house Tho presence of theso significant expressions of the legislative branch, it behooves the executlvo to soberly consider the conditions under which o Important n measure must need rest for Justl well-nigIl- to lead, if not to aouses, certainty to collisions perilous to tho peaceful relations ot the two states. There can bo llttledoubt as to what result such supervision would, before long, draw this nation, It would bo unworthy of the United States to lnaugurato the possibilities ot such result by measures of questionable right, or expediency, or by any Indication." IFurther Pertinent Considerations Appear. Turning to tho practical aspects ot a recognition of belligerency and reviewing Us nnd positive dangers, still further pertinent considerations appear. In the code of nations there Is no such thing as n naked recognition of belllgcrcnoy unaccompanlod by the assumption of International neutrality. Such tccognttlon without more will not confer upon either party to a domcstlo conflict a status not theretofore actually possessed, or affect the relation of either party to other states. The net of recognition usually takes the form ot a solemn proclamation of neutrality which recites the do facto condition of belligerency ns Us motives. It announces a domostic law of neutrality In the declaring state, Obllgisllous Assumed In According lncon-vleuc- es tho International obligations of a It neutral In tho presence of a public slate of war. It trains all citizens, and others within tho Jurisdiction of the proclnlmant that they violate those rigorous obligations nt their own peril nnd ran not uxpect to bo shielded from the The right of visit nnd search on the seas nnd selrurcs ot vossels and cargoes nnd contraband of war nnd good prize under admiralty law must under International law bo admllt-- d ns a lcltimalo consequence of a proclamation of belligerency.

The venate having rumov ca tne injunction ot secrecy, although the treaty Is still pending before that body, the subject may be properly referred to In this message, becauso the necessary action of the congress Is required to determine, by legislation, many details of tbe eventual union should the fact of annexutlon bo accomplished, as 1 believe It should be.

While coilslstontly disavowing, from a very early period, any aggresslvo policy of absorpin rcgaru to tno Hawaiian group, a ions tlons through series of ilc ot a century has proclaimed the vital Interest of the United States lu the Independent life or the Islands nnd their Intimate commercial dependence upon this country- Atthosnine time It has been repeatedly asserted that tn no ei ent could the entity of Hawaiian statehood ceaso by the passage ot tho Islands under the domination or Influence of another power than the United States.

At that time a ruinous conflict hud, for sci en tho neighjcars, . wasted boring Island. During all thoo years disregard uu of ultcr laws the ot civilized warfare.and of the Just demands of humanity, which callol forth expressions of condemtialtou from the nations ot Christendom, continued unubatod. Desolation and ruin pervaded the productive region, enormously affecting the commerce ot all commercial nations, but that of the United Stales moro than any other by reason of proximity and larger trade and Intercourse. At that Juncture Ueu. Grant uttered these words which now, as then, sum up the elements of the problem. Mleiuems of the Problem bummed Up. "A recognition ot the Independence of Cuba being.

Tho questtou of according or withholding rights of talllgerary must be Judged In every case, In view of the particular attending facts Unless justified bv necessity. It Is ulways, and Justly, regarded as an unfriendly act and a gratuitous demonstration of moral support to the rebellion. It Is not necessary, and It Is required, when tho Interests, and rights ot another government or ot Us iieopla are so far affected by a pending civil conflict as to require a definition of Us relations to the parlies thereto. Hut this conflict must bo one which will be recognized In tho sense of International law as war.

As to the representation of this government to Nicaragua, Salvador and Costa ltlcu, I havo concluded that Mr. William I Merry ns minister of the United States to tho states of Nicaragua, Salvador and Costa HIca, shall proceed to San Jose, Costn HIca. and there temporarily establish the headquarters of tho United States to thoso three stales. I took this action for what I regarded as the paramount Inttrests ot this country. It was developed upon an Investigation by the secretary ot stato that the govornor of Nicaragua, while not unwilling to receive Mr. Merry in his dlplomatio quality, was unable to do so becauso ot tho compact concluded June 20, 1S9", whereby that republlo and those ot Salvador and Honduras forming what Is known ns tho Greater Kspubllcof Central America, had surrendered to tho representative diet thereof their right to rccelvo and sen dlnlomatlo agents.

It gavo Him tho opportunity to nimouueo tho fact thnt His kingdom was not to bo liko tho kingdoms of tho world. Iu tho worldly kingdom tho great cxorclso authority; in Christ's kingdom tho humblo and lowly. They aro tho greatest, and thoy win tho highest positions which aro to bo bestowed. 1. Iu ministering to others, instead of being ministered unto, wo follow tho cxamplo of Christ Christ spoko tho words of tho topio in rcferciico to Himself. Ho camo not to minister, but to bo ministered unto. Christ was tho greatest of all, yet Ho became tho servant of nil. His mission iu life was to minister. Ho lived to minister. His act in washing the feet of His disciploi was only an illustration of tho whole spirit nnd substauco of His lifo. Ho died not for Himself, but for others. In all this Ho gavo an example to His disciples. Tho servant is not greater (lion his lord. If Christ lived to servo, Christians should livo to servo. Thus and thus only can thoy oxemplify Christ's spirit before tho world. 3. In ministering Instead of being o ministered unto wo accomplish tho for which God brought us into tho world. God created man to glorify Him. Wo best glorify Him whon wo givo our lives for thoso who nro about us in life God in Christ gavo Himself for tho world, nnd as Christ fulfilled His mission in lifo by giving His lifo for others, 60 wo con best fulfill our mission In tho world. Tho most important aim of lifo should bo to do God'H will, to accomplish tho cud nnd aim of our existence, nnd if to do so wo mast livo for others wo should not hesitato or falter. S. Iu ministering instead of being ministered unto wo benefit ourselves. Christ did not say that thcro was no path of ambition to tread iu tho Christian life. Ho simply declared that it was jiot tho samo ns tho worldly path. Greatness in Christianity is achieved by humility. Exaltation comes by hu miliation. Trno Christian greatness lies in forgetting self and in thinking of others. Tho ono who oxalts himself shall bo abased. Tho ono who abases himself shall bo oxaltcd. Let us imitato mora and more tho example of Him who camo "uot to minister, but to bo ministered unto." Biblo Readings.

He says frankly that he thinks the earnings of the new law will be sufficient after the opening month of the coming year to meet running expenses. "The enormous stock of sugar, wool, and other articles which had been brought into the country before the new law went into effect," said Mr. Howell, talking to your correspondent, "will have been pretty well used up by the end of the present year, and the importations will be resumed. When this is done, I think the earnings of the new law will be very satisfactory Wt are now getting $25, 000,000 a month, and tho revenue from sugar alone will be about $5,000,000, while the increase from other sources will also be very considerable.
