The announcement about ltalys proposal TO
accept the arbitration of Spain IN the dispute with
the United states of Colombia has an odd aapper
ance II il stated that the agrecm II; Is conditional
upon the exclusion from consideration OF the action
OF the Italian naval officer Captain Cobianchi who
compelled the Colon ban authorities to surrender
Lrucst Cerrutl, the Italian subject charged with
treason on n former occasion. 1t does not seem AT
all probable that the Colombian Government viii
be- willing 70 waive consideration of this action,
inasmuch as Italy apparently put IN the wrong
by IT, aud since there be no doubt that IT had an
important Seqriug upon the subsequent arrest of
Cerruti. Arbitration would be very convenient
recourse if either of the Governments seeking 1t
couId take hostages of fortune beforehand by ex-
clnding from consideration all the most significant
episodes In the quarrel to be- adjusted In such
circumstancrs however, the method would seem to
lose whatever quality of equity IT may be supposed
originally TO possesses aud 10 degenerate INTO bad
likeness of the results of a war.
