NEUTRALITY LAWS.
What They Require of United
States Citizens.
oLNEY GIVES AOLEAR STATEMENT

DsnninE What These Statutes Mean, Both
Legally and Morally, the Latter Phase
Being Illuminated by . Citation from
the Supreme Court-Operation Of the
French Law Of Labor Arbitration-Nsw
Regulations for Inspection OF Meat.
WASHINGTON, June 2O-Secretary Olney
has clearly laid down the duty Of citizens
OF the United States in the observance OF
strict neutrality as between the Spanish
government and the Cuban insurgents. not
only touching armed assistance but. also
as to rendering aid and encou ragement
In financial way. The occasion for this
exposition oime in letter from Cashier
John =. Massey, Of the Farmers and
Mechanics National bank Of Waco, Tex,
asking IL it would be o violation Of the
neutrality laws of his bank to act as de-
pository Tor funds for the Cuban revolu.
tionists.
Might Forfeit Its Franchise.
Olneys reply said: whether the bank
or its officers could be criminally prose.
cutcd is n question as to which opinions
may differ, and which can be satisfacto-
rily settled only by the adjudication Of
the proper court. Should bank engage
In such transaction and, rs you suggest,
publish its acceptance of such trust to
the world. it would be my duty TO call
upon the department of justics to test the
question whether or not the proceeding
was q crime against the United States.
1t might also be my duty to suggest
whether a bank holding a United States
charter docs not abuse its franchises and
furnish ground for their forfeiture by
acts in aid OF hostilities against q ma
ton with which tho United States is at
peace.
Moral Duty Is Very Plain.
"You ask me not merely as to your
technical legal liability, but also as to
your moral obligation, adding: For we
are all too loyal to our own country to
seek to overthrow In any sense her laws.
1 heartily commend the sense Of the quo
tation, and am in a position to say that
your moral duty in the premises does not
admit Of the least question. 1t has been
expounded by no less an authority than
the supreme court of the United States in
the following language: The inter-
course Of this country with foreign na-
tions, and its policy in regard to them,
ARE placed by the constitution OF the
United States in the hands Of the govern
ment. and its decisions upon their SUBJ
jects are obligatory upon every citizen Of
the Union. He is bound to be at war
with the nation against which the war
making power has declared war, and
equally bound to commit no act Of hostil.
ity against nation with which the gov
ernment Is in amity and friendship
This principle is universally .acknowl-
edged by the laws Of nations. 1t lies at
tADeSUuhdation Of all govcfnsAe1es,- as
thgre could be no social order or peaceful
relations between the citizens of different
countries without It,"

HARRY HAYWARD GETS A RESPITE.

Might Have Eefused.

Supreme Court Gives Him q Stay Which 1t
Might Have Ecfusetl.
MINNEAPoLIs. June 2O.-Harry Hay
wards life hung upon a very slender
thread. Contrary to popular belief it was
entirely within the discretion of the su-
preme court to have refused stay. In
that case he would have been executed
tomorrow. The Hayward case was pre-
sented to the judges in chambers. l. was
carefully considered for two or three
hours, but a stay of thirty days was finally
granted upon condition that the cnse be
argued this term.
The term will come to an end July 3
The probability Is that a new trial will
be refused. In that case Governor Clough
will at once fix a new day for carrying
out the penalty pronounced by the dis
trict court, and it is altogether likely that
tho condemned man will be executed some
time during the month Of July.
