Mates street. where 1t is spanned by

ing a fine appearance. 1t is one of the
most workmanlike and the neatest as
we'll as solid and substantial accom-
plishments in this particular line seen
to date in this city, and reflects marked
credit on the engineering skill of the
men of the railroad company. While
the old bridge was in use to turn down
Mates street it made the man who had
never been that way before believe
that it was the entrance to some SUBJ
terranean cavern, and it was necessary
for him to watch carefully, if driving,
for street cars. 1t was even unsafe to
drive with fractious horse.
This is the only thoroughfare
leading to the most thickly
populated portion of the South
Side. AS it stood it was an eye
sore. The South Side board of trade
deserves less credit for this stroke than
do Select Councilman D. w. Vaughan
and his successor, Charles W. West
pfahl. After that come the other coun-
cilmen Of the South Side.

DO Not Deem II an outrage.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The govern
ment officials here have received no in
formation in regard to the firing on the
schooner Carrie A. Lane by a Spanish
war vessel OFF Port Antonio The general
opinion of naval officers who read the re-
port Of the affair as described by Captain
Quick is that the Spaniard did not exceed
his authority in ovorhauling the schooner
If the latter was in the territorial waters
Of Cuba.
The Spanish government, it is said, is
menaced by the danger of the landing Of
filibustering expeditions on the Cuban
coast, and in exerting itself to prevent
such landings has a right to overhaul and
learn the character of any vessels within
the three mile limit that might be sus-
pected of having on board those entertain
ing designs against the government or
cargo intended for the insurgents.
AS Captain Quick's story shows, he paid
no attention to the man-of-war for an
hour or more. This, it is said, probably
caused the captain Of the lattor to believe
that the schooner was engaged in fiHbus-
tering methods and prompted him to take
decisive action in preventing her escape.
One naval officer with whom a reporter
talked was emphatic in his declaration
that the captain Of the man-of-war was
perfectly justified in what he had done,
assuming of course, that the schooner was
within the territorial limits Of Cuba, as it
was the business Of the Spanish govern
ment to intercept any vessels that might
be used by the insurgents.
The Law OF the High Seas.
The right Of a cruiser of one nation to
know the national character Of any strange
ship she may meet at sen is sustained by
writer's on international law. it is held
that the party making the inquiry must
mako himself fully known in some way
before he can lawfully demand such knowl-
edge from the other vessel. If this be re-
fused. it is held that the inquiring vessel
may fire a blank shot, and in case Of fur
ther delay a shotted gun may be fired
across the bows Of the delinquent by way
of positive summons. Any measure be-
yond the summoning shot which the com
mander of an armed ship may take for
the purpose of ascertaining the national
ity of another vessel must be at his peril.
If any report Of the affair be made to
the state department, some steps will like
ly be taken by this government should the
circumstances seem Co warrant it. If the
statement of Captain Quick that a solid
shot was first fired directly at his vessel is
sustained, it may make the case moro
serious one.
