The Times ON the Obligations of Spain.
$50 a. m.-The Times iu leading article
says the notice in the Gazette of January 8th,
warning mariners not to approach the Spanish
coast near Bilbao, on account of danger from
Carist batteries planted there, will suggest the
thought that our government is treating Sc
rious matter too lightly. Being at peace with
Spain we have right to trade with any port
OF her territory. The government of Spain is
bound to protect the property of our country
men when within three miles of her coasts.
Were any of our seamen murdered or our
ships burnt in one of her harbors we should in
sist that the criminals be punished and COM
pensation be made. The Spanish government
might plead it is too weak to control its unruy
subjects and too poor too pay. If such an ex-
cuse were false we should invite that govern
ment to do justice or prepare for reprsals
which would amount to declaration of war.
It the government were really powerless we
should have the right to take its place and de-
fend the lives and property of our own
objects. If the government will not protect
our coasts it must pay for any damage the reb-
els may do.
We fail to see why Spain should be freed
from the duty of guarding her own coasts. Her
navy is SO powerful that in case rupture with
q S. she would hhave great advantage in
the commencement of the struggle Some
vessels may be stationed off Cuba. That is
the arrangement with which we cannot con-
Germ ourselves. If Spain insists on having the
luxury of rebellious colonies at a time when
she is wasted by civil war at home, she must
take the consequences.
The article goes on to review the habitual
leniencV of the other powers to Spain, the re-
suit of which is that her statesmen presume on
the continuance of foolish and treacherous
impunity. 1t would be better for all parties if
Spain was held accountabler for her action.
The United States might set good example
by insisting that Cuba be no longer allowed to
become the plague instead of the peace of the
Antilles. The article concludes by recommend
ing that Spain be told that she will be held &C.
countable by every shilling of damage done to
foreign vessels by Carlist shells, when doubt
less after preliminary bluster the remedy
would be found easy and Spain would see clear
er the danger of dallying with civil war.
