HAD A RIGHT TO FIRE.

Officials Say That the Spanish Com n,audor
Did Not Exceed His Authority.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-The govern
ment officials here have received no ir-
formation regarding the firing on the
schooner Carrie E. Lane by Spanish
war vessel, off Port Antonio. The
general opinion of naval officers, who
read the report of Of the affair as de-
scribed by Captain Quick, is that the
Spaniard did not exceed his authority
in overhauling the schooner. If the
latter was in the territory Of Cuba, tho
Spanish government, it is held, is NELL
aced by the danger of the landing of
flibustering expeditions on the Cuban
coast and in exerting itself to prevent
such landing, has a right to- overhaul
and learn the character OF any vessel
within the 3-mile limit that might be
suspected OF having on board those ell.
tertaining designs against the govern
ment or a cargo intended for the insur
gents.
