chased her for all illicit traffic. Flo decides,
therefore. TINT tho Virginius had no right as
against tho United stateH to carry tho American
tag. ue holds, nevertheless, that while carry
ing this flag sho was as exempt from INTERIOR
cnce on tic high Sous by foreign Powers
as If she had been properly registered, Oh tho
ground that noitho, Spain nor any othor Govern-
mont could assume jurisdiction belonging ex-
cl,lsively to tile United States. This decision
relieves Spain from the obligation Of sa1utlng
