THE THREE FRIENDS CASE.
Washington. Feb. 15.-The United
States supreme court today heard ar
gument in the case Of the United States
VS. the steamer Three Friends on mo-
ton of the attorney general for a certi-
orari 70 the federal court of apeals for
the Fifth curcuit. TO bring the case to
the supreme court, the steamer having
been libeied for condemnation on the
charge of violating the neutrality laws
controlling the relations between the Uni
ted States and Spain.
Assistant Attorney Whitney made the
first argument for the government. He
began by stating the question briefly and
then discussed at length the question OF
the nature of a recognition of belligeren-
cy; ne explained the effect Of the act of
1917 in the use of the words colony,
district or people"
He said it was clear that the steam
er had been equipped to be employed
against the Spanish authorities by the
Cuban insurgents. He read extracts
from the presidents last message TO
show that sufficient recognition of Gu
ban belligerency had been given by the
executive to justify the courts in giving
them their attention. The Florida dis
trict court had taken the position that
tt could not, under the statute take sucn
cognizance, but Mr.. Whitney argued 10
the contrary. The only question he said
was whether the statute was applicable
for the reason that the belligerency of
the Cubans had not been formally rec
ogniZed. II was true in the technical
meaning Of International law that the
Cuhars had not been recognized as bel
iigerents, but even if this was the case
there were other statutes concerning pI-
Tacy and enlisting men for hostilities
against a friendly power which were ap-
plcable. AS a matter OF fact there was
nothing in the statutes 10 require a rec
ogniton OF belligerency to set the law
tn motion.
