As TO BELLmEREgCY.


A correspondent desires information
MS TO 'the extent of the meaning of
belligercncy." An accepted American
authority on internationl law says that
the parties to a war are called belliger-
cntS and their operations must he car
ried on In accordance with certain ac-
copied usages. which are sanctioned by
NIL nations under the name of the laws
of war. The parties to an internal war
are also belligerents. They acquire
belligerent rights so soon as the central
government decides to resort to war
like methods in order to quell the insur-
rection. The recognition of such rights
by the central government. or by for
cign powers, only implies that the laws
of war are to prevail in the military
operations undertaken for the purpose
of suppressing the rebellion, enforcing
the laws and restoring the supremacy
of the national government. The grant
ing of b%elligerent rights is n declaration
of the opinion of the government max
ing it that a state of public wal exists
and that the parties to it are entitled to
all the rights of war. The effect of a
recognition of belligerency is to endow
the belligerents with all the rights and
all the Obligations of an independent
state so far as the war is concerned, but
no further.
Should our government accord bel
ligerent rights to the Cuban insurgents
it would still have to observe the OBJ
legations of neutrality. We should be
bound to restrain enlistments by the
belligerents, prevent the forming of
armed expeditions. or the fitting out
and selling of armed vessels to the bel
ligerents. We should be bound not to
permit our territory TO be made the
base of belligerent operations. Our
people could trade with the belligerents.
even selling them munitions of war,
but the shipment of war material would
be made at the risk of their seizure.
AS belligerents the Cuban insurgents
would enjoy equal rights with Spain in
their relations TO this government. On
the other hand, the Spanish government
would be relieved from responsibility
for acts lone in the insurgent territory.
its blockade of it's W ports would
have to be respected, and it would ac-
quire a right to exert against neutral
commerce all the powers of a party to n
maritime war.
There is a great deal of misapprehen-
sion. regarding the advantages which
the Cuban insurgents would derive
from being accorded belligerent rights.
Beyond giving them a status emitting
them to the rights of war, certainly
very important, they would not be
greatly benefited.

THE

A good deal of interest is felt regard
the Cuban question, for with him rests
the authority to determine what action
if any, the government of the United
States shall take in reference to the
conflict in Cuba. He may acquiesce in
the opinion expressed by congress that
a state of public war exists in Cuba,
the parties to which should be accorded
belligerent rights, or he may ignore hat
expression of the legislative branch of
the government and simply adhere to
the policy thus far pursued. The con-
current resolutions passed by congress
devolve no duty or responsibility upon
the chief executive, except as he him.
self may see in them a direction from
the people through their representatives
for executive action. Nor is the presi-
DEBT restricted to acquiescence in the
declaration of congress favorable to the
granting of belliGerent rights. He may
go beyond this and recognize the indie
pendence of the Cuban insurgents, thus
committing the government to what
would be tantamount to Il declaration
of wal against Spain.
The authority Of the president in this
matter being thus supreme, requiring
for its exercise neither the direction nor
the concurrence of congress. makes the
question of his position one of the
greatest interest and Importance. If
he should decide to disregard the dec
laratiOn of congress favorable to ac-
cording %belligerent rights, as the Span
ish government and people appear to
confidently believe he will, 1t would
leave the government of the United
States, as was said by Senator Morgan
in the curse of the debate Oh the Cuban
resolutions, in n position to be severely
criticised by II people and by the
| other powers of the world. If he
| should go further han the declaration
of congress and reorganize the indie
pendence of the insurgents 1t would pos
sibly lead to war between the United
States and Spain. In which event con-
gress, although not participating in the
action, would feel bound to provide the
means necessary to carry on war. No
European ruler possesses more absolute
power In this respect than the president
of the United States.
1t was stated in "A Washington dis
patch n few days ago, upon what was
said to be good authority, that the presi-
lent and his cabinet were strongly OPP
posed to recognizing the belligerency of
the Cuban insurgents and to any
declaration concerning their independ-
ence as embodied In the congressional
resolutions. 1t was said that while
sympathizirg with the Cubans the
president would not depart from the
well settled principles which were fol
lowed by former presidents aud secre-
taries of state during other insurrec-
tons In Cuba. The administration, II
was stated, did not regard the present
state of affairs in Cuba as justifying
any change in the attitude of the gov
eminent. President Cleveland has pro
nounced this statement as being with
out authority so far as he is concerned.

AN INTERESTING QUESTION.

An interesting point of constitutional
law is now under advisement in the
judiciary committee of the United
States senate, which has been called
upon to formulate a rule of procedure
for the several kinds of resolutions
regularly presented for the action of
that body. In the usual course of legis-
lative business the senate has been ac-
customed to pass ordinary resolutions,
joint resolutions and concurrent resolu-
tions, without much regard to their
contents or special care that the form
and name be appropriate to the purpose.
The question, on it's face purely theo-
mere fOrmality when we take account
of the difference in the matter of Sc
curing the presidents approval. 1t has
been precipitated at the present time
through the resolutions adopted and
pending upon the international rela-
century of parliamentary practice be-
hind us. we have as yet no authorita-
tive precedent which can be appealed
to for n solution of the p~erplexing
point.
Although most explicit upon the sub
ject of congressional action by bill the
federal constitution has only this to say
as to congressional action by resolution:
Every order. resolution or vote to which
the concurrence Of the senate and house OF
representatives may be necessary, except on
a question OF adjournment, shall be presented
to the president of the United States; and
before the same shall take effect shall be
approved by him, or being dlsapproved by
him, shall be repassed by two-thirds of the
senate and house Of representatives according
to the same rules and limitations prescribed
in the case Of a bill.
Under the liberal Interpretation which
has always been put upon this provis-
ion, no resolutions have been presented
for the presidents signature except
those known ms concurrent resolutions
~embodying matters that ordinarily
might as well have been treated in the
form of a bill. Everything has been
made to turn upon the reading of the
words ''to which the concurrence of the
senate and house of representatives
may be necessary" and a distinction
has been drawn between such resolu.
lions and Joint resolutions in which
the concurrence of the two houses is
desirable but not necessary. This fine
spun distinction has been carried so fan
that constitutional amendments have
been submitted TO the action of the leg
islatures of the different states by reso
luton without the presidents approval
and apparently sanctioned by the su
prenle court, Notwithstanding the fac
that according to the constitution the
concurrence of both houses of congress
Is a necessary prerequisite.
There is no question that there ha,
been altogether too much looseness il
