to divert nearly all if not the entire
ImiKirt trade of tho place to Hun Juan
Del Kur or perhaps Renlnjo, a seaport
near by. In this cose the length of the

matical, conditional, as It is, upon col
lecting enough revenue from customs
to make good tho Indemnity demand
ed. Rut n not her consideration arises
at this point, for our government 1ms
Isten assured that the occupation will
not bo permanent, and, Indeed, the
first paragraph of the Clnyton-Ilul-wer
treaty expressly pledges Great
Riitaln ngaliiRt occupation of Nlon
nigunii territory.
So the problem will arise, how to
collect Indemnity within a reasonable
time. This may bo nettled summarily
by simply extending the occupancy
and blockade beyond Corinto, so ns to
Irwindo all of tlie Paxific isnis of Nica
ragua. From tho disposition shown
by tho Nicaraguans at present, this
can bo dono only by force and is like
ly to add very largely to the expense

added by the Uritlsh to tho original

iously embarrass the commerce of the
United States and on this point Great

Is lu direct conflict 'with the reports

that It may be true,

SCIENCE OR SENTIMENT.'
1 A breach of promise case I attract
ing considerable attention In London
because It involve a controversy be-.
twoen science and sentiment with the'
law acting aa arbiter between them1
and deciding In favor of sentiment ,
rha facta of the rase are very slmpl
and were admitted by both sides. At
physician named SnehTwho waa en
gaged to be married to a Misa Froud,
broke off the engagement and refused
to marry her because he had dis
covered that the young lady'a mother
died from consumption and the girl
herself was tainted with the disease.'
The defense claimed that a man bat
a right to guard bia prospective chil
dren from hereditary disease, and
that whn he round the woman to
whom be wa engaged afflicted with
that malady be wa Justified In refut
ing to marry ber. Th jury took an
opposite view of the case, gave dam- j,.,
ago for 1000, and now London Is en- ,
gaged In discussing whether tb Jury' -
did right or .wrong..:-, .. . - ,rt .1,11,1
People who look at marriage from
a scientific point of view rather than i
from that or sentiment contend that
the physician acted rightly, not only,, ;
for himself but for the girl and for ,
humanity. In breaking the engage-'1 v
mont They assert It to be a duty im-1
IMised upon men and women to take
every possible precaution against " 1
bringing unhealthy children Into the jf
worm. 1 tie transmission or nereui
tary disease from one generation to l
another is not only a curse to the chil
dren born under the malady, but la a T
menace to society at large. It , la j,
claimed that no physician would ad- "
vise a healthy man or woman to i.'
marry a consumptive, and, therefore, , .
that the reason and common sense of ""
the community should prevent such: ' !
marriages as far as possible.
Against these arguments of science ,.
there Is urged every consideration
which appeals to sentiment and af- -fl
foots the emotions of men. The Jury , .
evidently acted upon the belief that ' ' 1
marriage 1b a matter ot love and not -I
of science and that a man has no .. (
right to break his pledge with woman
simply because he wishes to fulfil
soma fancied duty to a possible poe-
tcrtty. The Judge agreed with the M
Jury and refused a stay of execution.
The law was on the aide of sentiment'
but the defendant In paying his 1000
in damages has the comfort of know
ing that his case has made ' him
noted aa a physician, and that a large
number, of people , believe he acted o
right. '
