SRelief Sure FOR INDIGESTION ' fOR CCNTS 6 vi By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN HIS year of 1023 Is the centennial of the Monroe Doctrine. And Carlotta of Mexico Is reported dying In her old chateau of Bouchout in Brabant, Belgium, at the age of eighty-fouafter years of madness. Therefore the story of the attempt of Napoleon III to establish a French empire in Mexico in defiance of the Monroe Doctrine makes timely readr, fifty-seve- n ing. Benito Pablo Juarez, an Indian, was elected president of Mexico in 1858, after eleven years of public service. Juarez, in defeating Miramon in the civil war that followed, exhausted the Mexican treasury. Suspension of payments in 1860 caused England, France and Spain to intervene. Napoleon III saw here a chance to establish in Mexico the French empire that had failed of establishment in Canada (1765) and in Louisiana (1803). The United States government was too busy with the Civil war to make forcible resistance to violation of the Monroe Doctrine. As the British and Spanish withdrew, he sent over large French forces. These made war on Juarez, drove him into the mountains and in 1863 entered Mexico City. Napoleon III selected Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph, second son of Archduke Francis Charles of Austria and brother of Emperor Francis Joseph I, as emperor of this French empire in Mexico. Maximilian, then thirty-one- , was handsome and soldier-like- , with a fine education and a taste for the fine arts. He was living with Carlotta at Miramar, near Trieste, a palace that he had built for residence. Carlotta Marie Charlotte Amelle the only daughter of Leopold I of and a royal beauty, Belgium, was twenty-thre- e tall, beautiful, graceful, with a gentleness that won all who met her and of courtly and gracious manner." She sike fluently in tongues of England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. She was popular in even- court of Europe. g in Mexico, in SepThrough French tember of 1S63, a deputation of Mexican notables arrived at Miramar to ask Maximilian to become emperor of Mexico. Maximilian, history says, was reluctant to accept. But Carlotta was as ambitious as she was able. Francis Joseph was presumably glad to see his popular brother go. Maximilian, after the form of a popular election in Mexico had been gone through with and Napoleon had made a secret agreement with him to support him with French troops, accepted the throne April 10, 1804, and arrived June 12 In Mexico City to establish his empire. Maximilian attempted to establish a mild reign. Some of the Mexican leaders accepted him. But a large proportion of the Mexicans did not. Juarez, to whom Maximilian made friendly overtures, would have none of him. A hitherto unpublished letter, from Juarez to Maximilian, recently brought to light, reads: I admire your generosity In leaving the fatherland In coming to Mexico. But I tell you It isnt true we ask you on your own free will to accept the throne. On their own responsibility some traitors went to Miramar, only eight or ten of our titles approving. You came here without any knowledge of the countrys needs or conditions and your advisers are the most dangerous people In Mexican society. You promise me security, but I dont trust a man who deals with traitors. You say that by an understanding we could work together for the benefit of Mexico if I would give more of my talents and patriotic assistance. It Is a true history of our time that glorifies people who give up their principles and tradition wire-pullin- - INDIGESTION 254 only to serve their personal passions, ambitions and imperiousness. But I, who hold the office of president of the republic, and who came up from the lowly classes, will only succumb If Providence decrees. I shall hold out until the end and fulfill the hopes of my countrymen. Sometimes it occurs, It is true, that people are allowed by faith to attack the noly rights of others and threaten the rights of those who defend their nationality. But I believe in the judgment of history, which stands apart from wrong and evil. This will give its verdict on us. Justitia regnorum fundamentum. Juarez soon took up arms and civil war followed. In 1865 Maximilian proclaimed all those in arms to be outlaws a fact that probably sealed his fate when tried for his life. In the meantime, the United States, tn the throes of the Civil war, had refused to recognize Maximilian. With the close of the Civil war the United States government found Itself in possession of the strongest military force that the world had ever seen. Thereupon Gen. Philip II. Sheridan appeared at the Mexican border with an impressive force and the United States government said in effect to Napoleon III of France: You are violating the Monroe Doctrine. Get your French troojra out of Mexico forthwith and take Maximilian with them! Napoleon had no choice but to do exactly as the United States government commanded. lie warned Maximilian that he must withdraw the French troops from Mexico. Maximilian declined to abdicate. Carlotta saw that they were lost without French support and fled to Europe to appeal to Napoleon. The last of the French troops withdrew from Mexico in 1367. Juarez promptly besieged Maximilian in Querefcaro. May 14 Maximilian was captured, the night before he had fixed upon for escape. lie was tried by a council of war, condemned to death and June 19 faced a firing squad on the Hill of the Bells. lie gave each of the five soldiers a gold piece and asked them to aim well. He died like a brave man and a gentleman. Juarez, an able man of few words and honest purpose, resumed the presidency and held it till his death, five years later. Carlottas vain attempts to secure aid in Europe were as dramatic ns tragic. Napoleon III feared to face her and evaded a meeting until she forced an Interview. The meeting was without witnesses. Napoleon refused to aid her. He may have wanted to keep his pledged word to Maximilian, but he did not dare to defy the United States. Just what was said behind those closed doors is not known, but Carlotta was heard to shriek at its close : I ought never to have forgotten what I am and what you are. I ought not to have forgotten that there is Bourbon blood in my veins, and should not have disgraced my descent by lowering myself before a Bonaparte and being led away by an adventurer ! Attendants, entering, found her unconscious on the floor. Carlotta next saw Pope Pius IX, who received her at a reception in the throne room at the Vatican and accorded her the honors of a reigning monarch. She suspected that tills was a ruse to prevent the discussion of her affairs. Later, the pope returned the visit, as etiquette demanded. An ample escort accompanied him, and again Carlotta could not find opportunity. But she made another effort. Dressed In mourning, with one woman attendant she had an audience. At 1U close she was so overwrought that the popes physician declared It unwise to remove her. So, contrary to all precedent, she passed the night at the vati can. She awoke the next morning bereft of rea son. She was placed In the care of her family.
