WASHINGTON, Jan. S-The report that
the government intends TO prosecute the
alleged fllibuster Three Friends and her
officers on charge of piracy is without
foundation. Soon after the Three Friends
returned from her last trip in Cuban
waters, when she was said to have used
her guns against a Spanish cruiser, the
officers Of the department of justice took
occasion to look up the law on the subject
of piracy, and 1t is understood that 1t was
found tho weight of authorities OH inter-
national law as applied to this country

officers of vessel in the situation Of the
Three Friends, even if it could be shown
that shots were fired at the spanish ves-
sci, could be held as pirates. The accepted
definition of the word pirate is one who is
an enemy Of all mankind-a highway rob-
hap on the Spns
