Until these facts are officially known
the government will take no action
In the matter. The question being II
very delicate one, IL Is not the intcll-
ton of our authorize, 10 take any step
which cannot be maintained under
the law of nations. The Spanish gun
boat Tornado had the right to over
haul the Virginius II she was caught IN
nm Legitimate act when three miles OIL
the Island of Santiago dc Cuba shore.
On the other hand, If the Virginius
was caught in an illegitimate act with
in the prescribed distance and at
tempted to get away, the question Is
ms to whether the Tornado had right
to chase her beyond distance OF six
miles from the shore, is an undecided
one.
Some writers on international law
have contended that vessel caught In
an illegitimate act within the three
miles, may be chased and Overhauled
on the high seas beyond the distance
of six miles from the shore. Again, If
the vessel was captured within three
miles of the coast of Jamaica, as 1t has
been stated, the latter will be noticed
by the English government. Our gov
eminent is not satisfied that the Vir-
ginius Is entitled to the protection of
the United States.
1t is true that she sailed from New
York under American register, but 1t
has been charged that she was sold to
Quesada some fifteen or sixteen months
ago at Curacao, and since that time has
| been sailing under both Cuban and
Venezuelan flags, and If that charge
should turn out to be true, she cannot
receive the protection of our govern
ment; hence no action will be taken
towards protecting the vessel until all
the above questions shall have been
dacided
