CRITICISED BY SENATOR CALL.

VIII 41S1bAD U l lANA 4Ou Shh1a flo Says We Ought Not to Bolster Up
 Spain's Rule Over Cuba, Which Will Ul-

 zens Are Warned.
 WASHINGTON, Juno 13.-The issuance of the presidents proclamation against extending aid to the Cuban insurgents gave rise to considerable discussion as to whether it did not practically amount to q recognition of the rebels as belligerents. Such an interpretation of the proclama- tion however, is not correct, according to the opinions of several woll known public men. Senator Morgan of Alabama, who Is a recognized authority on international law. when asked about the matter said
 No recognition of the rights of bellig- erency are accorded by the proclamation, but just the reverse is the case. There would have been no necessity for such ac- tion if the insurgents were bellISorents, for then the citizens of the United States would have the right to sell them muni- tions of war if they could escape the block nde of the Spanish fleet It is simply car rying out the law on the subject. Similar proclamatiOns have l believe, been here tofore issued at times of Cuban insurrec- tion> and at the timo the Texans were en- deavOring.to throw off the authority of Mexico one was issued warning citizens of the Unitod States from aiding thom.

 senator Call Does Not Like It.
 Senator Call of Florida said the procla- nation did not intend to accord to the insurgents the rights of bclligerents and undoubtedly did not do so. It would, however. he sait. havo no ofTcct in pre- venting tho departure of those who were
  was utterly impossible to guard the coast of the United states for tho government had not the force at hand to do so.
 What, ho asked is to prevent for eign ship from sailing from any United States port, ostonsibly for Europe or any other place, with assistance for tho insur- gonts and then transferring its cargo or sailing from some other port for Cuba? Tho presidents proclamation, said the senator, was rather stronger than liked am, ho said. in favor of tho independ- ence of Cuba. for it Is furegone conclu. sion that the island will throw of the spanish yoke. In my Judgment. it is a wild idea to suppose that tho government can support the lettering government of spain.
 The proclamation is ns follows:
 Whereas. he island 'f Cuba is now the seat of serious civil disturbances aC- Comranied hy armed resistance to the au- thurity of the established government of Spain, power with which the United States are and desire 10 remain on terms of peace and amity; and
 Whereas Tho laws of the United states prohibit their citizonS. ns well all uth- CTS being within and subject to their jur- isdictiun, from taking part in such disturb anCcs adversely tu such established gov crnment by accepting or exercising com missions for warlikc service against 1t, by enlistment or procuring others to enlist for such service, ly fitting out or prucur- ing tu hc fitted out armed ships of war for su,h service by nugmontinE the force of any ship of war engaged in such service and arriving in d port of the United states, and hy sotting on foot or provid ing ur preparing the means for military enterprises to he carried on from the Unit cd states against tho territory of such government
 Now, thGrefure. in recognition of tho laws aforesaid, and in discharge of the ob- ligatiuns uf th3 United states toward n friendly power, and as a measure of pre- caution, and 10 the end that citizens of the United States and all others within it's jurisdiction may be dot erred from subject ing themselves to legal forfeitures and penalties
 All Citizens Admonished. "I, Grover Cleveland president of the United States of America, do hereby ad- monish all such citizens and other persons ! to abstain from every violation of the laws hercinbefore referred to, and do hereby warn thom that all violations of such laws | will ho vigorously prosecuted, and do l hereby onj join upon all officers of the Unit ed States charged with the execution of said laws tho utmost diligence in prevent ! inu valuations thprpbf nnl In hriDuiny fn trial and punishment any offenders against i the same

 "RICHAEp OINEY, Soc'y of State"
 Great Britain Shirks the Seal Question. WA>HINGTUN, June l3-Great Britain | has failed to renow hcr adherence to the | joint regulations for the government of the soal fisheries in Boring sea, and upon the United States has devolved the patrol of this vast area single handed and under 1 conditions that at times might give rise to trouble Beginning early in the year the state department has sought to induce the British government to renew these regulations. but up to this date tho effort has been unsuccessful. and now that Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British embassa- dor has gone home to England on leave | of absence, it is certain that nothing in that direction can be accomplished before next fall-too late to bO of any avail dur ing the present season.
 This declination of thU British to enter again into the joint regulations is ascrib- ed entirely to Canadian pressure, as 1t is felt that if left to follow tbeir own i'm pulses they would not hesitate to join the United states in the execution of the rec concentrations of the Paris arbitration in spirit as well as in letter
 Two British warships have gone to Der ing sea. but what useful purpose they are to serve in the absence of regulations for the guidance of their commanders Is not perceived, and 1t is assumed that their mission is to observe what is going on and note the conditions under which the Amer lean revenue cutters attempt to make seizures rather than to aid in any way in driving off the poachers. The situation is one calculated to breed cause for some anx
 iety to the treasury officials
