A BRITISH SHIP FIRED ON.
Spain VIII Not Escape From England
so Easily as From Gresham.

Washington City, April at is stated
by officials that the reported firing by a
Spanish warship on a British ship. the
Ethelred. bound from Boston to Jamaica.
IL confirmed. Will give the United States
and Great Britain a common cause I'm de-
manding explanations and indemnity from
Spain. Official confirmation of the indig-
nifty on the Ethelred has not been receiv-
cd here. either at the state department or
British embassy. Ii Is said that the us
ual course would be for the commander
OF the steamer 10 report the facts 10 the
London foreign Office. AS he was bound
for Jamaica. he may first report 10 the
governor general OF that British colony
who. I'm turn. would present the case TO
the foreign Office
Great Britain is quick TO take cog niz-
ance of any interference with her mer-
chant marine, and IL is not doubted that
II the facts are as reported the foreign
Office will speedily ask OF Spain first an
explanation and second compensation.
The circumstances appear to be almost
identical with the firing on the Allianca
II IL not yet clear, however, whether the
Ethelred was on the high seas or was
within six miles OF Cape Maysi. which IL
in the turisdictfonai limits claimed by
Spain. In Mr. Gresham's demand on
Spain he took the advanced position that
American vessels on their routes copld
not be nolested. even when within the
jurisdiction OF Spanish waters. III Great
Britain takes a similar position as 20
her merchant vessels on their regular
routes 10 Jamaica. II viii 81 far towards
