UXl'AKAI.LKI.KU IN HISTOI5Y.
Washington, April 7. At the embassies;
and legations thr presentation of the Joint 1
note of thr powers was regarded as the'
event of the day. An ambassador from
one nf thr great powers of continental I
Kurone stated that It was without par-!
allel In history. That It was the llrst and 1
only time that the six grr.it nations, rep-'
resenting In the aggregate the power of .
i-lvllliutlon. had united In this gob-mn '
manner to secure Ihr peace of Ihr world. ;
This was. this authority stated, a move-'
ment historical In character and one fit-!
ting to have occurred In the advent of:
the nineteenth century. ' .
Calls nt thr various embassies showed
that the response of the president had
created a most favorable Impression In '
foreign quarters. Thr president's an- j
swrr was looked on to some extent as a
counter-appeal to the powers for their co- j
operation In the cause of humanity
against the intolerable condition of nf- i
fairs In Cuba. In some diplomatic quar
ters there was n disposition to read the i
Joint note "between the lines" and to '
give It n suggestive character beyond the j
mild phrases adopted. This wa nut thr ;
generally accepted view, however. The j
favorable manner of Its reception was I
looked upon ns a wise move nt this crlt- j
leal juncture, for without rejecting as j
nn Intrusion those foreign suggestions.
they wrrr so received as to give the 1
greatest promise of sympathy, rather j
than opposition from the most powerful
Joint liillucuce In the world. !
