For a number of ytnrs there has been

siilrlt of the country to tho highest pes
thilt pitch
A similar territorial dispute Involving
tho owiHishlp of tho Island of Trinidad
is ponding between Grtat Ilrltalu and
lirnzll but tho iormer power doesnt
seem to lit disposed Just now to press
her alleged rightn In tills case She has
also n disagreement with our own gov
ernment about the width of the long
i southern strip of Alaska which lies be
tween ltritisii Columbln and the Pacific
ocean but although the land claimed by
both partltss is rich In tpreclous metals
the question Wt bothering our people
linlf so much ns the miarroM of our
weil er neighbors with the grasping na-
tion beyond tho sea
John Hull Isnt the only person who
has trodden upon the tall of Fnele Sams
coat In the Waller episode Johnny
Crnpaiid ban been an offender nntl our
diplomacy has made It rather unpleasant
for him This affair was on outcome of
tho propsratons of Frnee for the con-
quest of Madagascar ExConsul Wal
ler n colored American cltlzeji hnd ob-
tained finm the then independent gov-
ernment of the Island a concussion to a
large and very valuable tract of land
which tho French who claimed a pro-
tectorate over Madagascar refusal to
reeognire Wnll r on his part denied
the authority of France over Madagascar
nnd ns bo held eommuncatlnn with tho
imtlvo government ho was arrested on a
ihargo of plotting with tho enemies of
France Ills treatment as a pditlenl
prisoner is said to have been harsh and
ho wan transported to France after a
semblance of a trial where though In
frnrlo health ho etll remains In close
confinement
An ntipcnl was of course mndo to the
state department nt W > Wnelon This
elicited a tlemnnd upon France by this
government for a com nf tl records of
the court trial in which Waller was
convicted so that tho fnrness of the
proceedings mliif be nroved or dlsivnvcil
wltt which demand Franco found It
difficult to comply If the records when
produced nr not sntlsfnettirv to tMs
government the next sten will probnblv
be n neremntory tlemnud for the release
of tho itHsoner
A seHons question vvilh Jnixin nrtvso
early In the venr ilnrlne that cumtrvs
war with Cblnn which inMit have
provH dsneerops bod not tho close of
tbo war brought It to a halt without
iiceordeil by our government to tho rebel
cause Then the o tl controversy over
the Mora claim which had Its birth in
tho Irst Cuban war ierved to Increase
the tension until the vigorous demands
of Secretary Groshnni finally compelled
Spain to complete settlement of the claim
on August 0
The first netunl friction resulting from
the present war was the firing imon the
American ship Alllnneu by n Spansh
gunhnnt It required very strong repre-
sentations on the part of our government
to Inducu Spain to apologize for this
outrage About the same time the Span
Mi iiuthorites demanded the recall of
Consul General Williams stationed at
Tlnvinn for too Jealously l ol < lng after
American InlorewtH in the island
The feeling between the two niitlonn
lms grown morn and more btter until
tho Cuban question now constitutes thu
greatest source of danger to our peace
