Washington, December 27.-The state de-
partment called upon the attorney general
today for an opinion as to Spanish claims
for damages committed by fIllbustering ex
petitions organized in this country 10 aid
the insurgents. His reply Is Of interest In
connection with the Three Friends case.
The attorney general was OF opinion that
1.-The mere sale and shipment of arms and
munitions Of war by persons in the United
States TO persons in Cuba is not a violation
OF international law. however strong a
suspicion may be that they are TO be used
in the insurrection against the Spanish
government,
individuals in the United States have a
right to sell such articles and ship them
to whomsoeyer may choose to huy them.
The goods and sometimes the ship carry
ing them. are subject to seizure by the
government within whose jurisdiction they
may go, If Its domestic laws and rogula-
lions are violated. but international law
reposes no duty upon our government with
respect TO such transactions.
The shipment or carriage OF such arti-
cles tn Cuba docs not become a violation
Of international law merely because they
are not destined to part there which
is recognized by the Spanish government
as open TO commerce. nor because they are
to he or arc landed stoalthlly,
"If however the persons supplying or

City Of Mexico. December o7--TNc first
football game ever played in the city OF
Mexico took place this afternoon on the
grounds of the lndianilla racing course in
the presence of 5000 spectators. including
a great number OF Mexican people of the
highest society.
The game excited wild enthusiasm and
was pronounced better and more exciting
thnn the bull fight and the seal of popular
approval was set on the new diversion.
Tho contest was between the teams Of
the Star and Crescent Athletic clubs OF
Texas and Missouri respectively. The UNI
pire and referee were old Yale football
players.
The Crescents rather outclassed the Stars
and succeeded in winding up the first half
OF the game without their opponents scor-
ing.
when play was resumed on tho second
half the stars secured touch down in
about eight minutes and kicked to goal
making six points The Cresccnts secured
the next touchdown and kicked ia goal In
come six minutes. and in fifteen minutes
more gained another touchdown and kicked
TO goal. making total score Of II to q.
The victory of the Croscents caused mucl
excitement and loud applause Not fol
years has there been more lively demon
stration Of approval OF any public game.
The Mexican Herald says It liz not likely

bail will probably remain an exotic as far
as Mexico is concerned.
There will be another game on Tuesday
The receipts were heavy.
