A CASE IN POINT
Affecting the Recognition Of Cuba by
the Uni5ed STATES


Indianapolis Ind, Dec. 21@The Jour
nal today prints a letter signed by w
H H. Miller, ex-attOrney general Of
the United States on the Cuban ques-
ton. 1T was as follows. LAS the is
sue made by the secretary of state as to
whether the recognition of the insur-
gent government in Cuba is Iegisla-
tive or executive function is now of
pubHs interest, the following express
slons by the courts may be worthy Of
attention. In the case of Williams VS.
the Suffolk Insurance company @ Sum
ner 272) the right of recovery upon an
insurance contract turned upon the
question whether the sovereignty IF
BuenOs Ayres extended over the FaIk-
land islands 1t was on one side CON
tended that the question was one for
the court TO decide as it wOU1d any iu-
dicial question. Mr. Justice Story de-
Gliding the case at circuit said: Tt is
very clears that it belongs exclusively
to the executive department of our
government to recognize from time TO
time, any new governments which may
arise in political revolutions in the
are so recognized, they cannot be adj
mitted by our courts of justice to have
or to exercise the common rights and
prerOgatives of sovereignty.
THE case being carried to the SUI
preme court Of the United States
Justice McLain speaking for that court
said. Can there be any doubt that
when the executive branch of the gov
ernnlent which is charged with our for
eign relations shall in it's correspond
ence with a foreign nation. assume a
fact in regard to the sovereignty Of any
country, it is conclusive ID the ju-
dicial department. And in this view.
it is not material to inquire, nor is it
the province Of the court to determine
whether the executive be right or
wrong. It is enough to know that in ex-
ercise of his constitutional functions he
has decided the question, having done
this under the responsibilities which
belong to him. it is obligatory ON the
people and government of the Union
(13 Peters reports 415.)'
These decisions have been repeated

writer, not questioned"
