RELATIONS WITH SPAIN md
ETBJ

the Spanish mob in Barcelona on
Sunday last showed that great resent
ment was felt towards the United
States, yet the prompt disaVowal OF
the act cablegrammed by the Spanish
authorities to our government, and the
immediate acceptance Of the same by
Secretary Olney on behalf of the Uni
ted States shows that neither govern
ment is anxious to disturb its peace
full relations with the other. Cuba is
the main source of wealth for Spain,
and it is only natural that the Spain
ards should give up their colony re
luctantly, or be incensed at hearing
of any action on the part of another
government which may finally lead
to her losing possession of Cuba.
The recognit on of the contestants
as belligerents confers on them GER
| tain rights which neither before pos
sessed. 1t will open up commerce be
tween the United States and the in
surgents. 1t also gives to Spain and
Cuba the right to search our merchant
vessels, but not our vessels of war.
The searching, however, is done under
international regulations, and con
sistS generally in II mere examination
OF the papers of the ship in the pre-
seuce of the officers of both ships. \
belligerent power from the fact of be
ing belligereut, has Il right to ask
and require that trade which is in
furious to its military operations. and
which directly or indirectly aids the
enemy in carrying out his plans of
war, shall be restrained. There are
only two ways in which this can be
done. Either the neutral sovereign
and be responsible for their acts, or,
secondly, the belligerent power may
be given the right of search to protect
its own interests. OF the two evils.
the latter is preferable for the neutral
power. Lord Brougham says No
power can exercise such an effective
control over the actions of each of its
subjects as to prevent them from
yielding to the temptations of gain at
distance from its territory. No
power can therefore be responsible for
the conduct of all its subjects on the
high seas; and it has been found more
convenient to entrust the party in
jured by such aggresSions with the
power of checking them. This ar
rangement seems beneficial to all par
ties; for it answers the chief end of
the law OF Misunderstanding injustice
without the necessity of war. Endless
hostlities would result from any her
arrangement. If 4 government We're
to be made responsible for each act OF
its subjects, and Il negotiation We're TO
ensue every time that II suspected
neutral merchantmen entered the
enemy's port, either there must be 1t
speedy end put to neutrality or the
affairs of the belligerent and neutral
must both stand STILL
