BLAKE's SYSTEM MAY BE USED.
IL Has Probably Been Adopted d:
the=imerfcan Navy

Fort Monroe, April S.-The Times cor
respondent has seen Commodore Schley
regarding the new system Of sea teleg-
raphy invented by Prof. Blake, of Kan
sas University. When asked for the de-
tails of the newest scientific marvel, he
said:
Il am debarred from saying anything
it. as in this case it is one of the secret
munitions Of war. II would be unwise
for me TO reveal secrets of this sort
There is no doubt that the telegraphic
system has been thoroughly tested and
adopted by the Navy. and that it's en-
ployment will be one of the most con-
spicuous of the many wonders to he de
veloped by the first sea fight between
modern ships.

New York. April Sin view of the
report that the Queen Regent Of Spain
is prepared 10 grant all the de-
gard to Cuba the question OF her power
to act becomes interesting.
Consul General Baldasano yesterday
referred to a section OF the constitution
which gives the Crown authority 10 de-
clare war or make peace, and then called
attention to this:
Article 55-The King must be authorized
by a special law
First-To ALLEVIATE, cede or exchange
any part OF the territory OF Spain.
Second-To incorporate any other ter
ritory with the territory with Spain.
Frederic II. Coudert was asked whether
the Queen Regent alone could ALLEVIATE
any territory belonging to Spain. He said:
The Queen has no power to cede ter
ritory or ALLEVIATE any part of the national
domain without a special law authorizing
her to- This is provided for by the con-
stitution itself, but even were IL not no
constitutional sovereign could assert a
power which might be used TO the de
struction of the country over which he
or she is sovereign.
'If our President insists upon Cuban
independence as a prerequisite, then there
is only one of two things for Spain 10 do.
either TO resist by force Of arms this as
sault upon her sovereignty or to eYacuate
Cuba The latter would be the wsier
course. as it would be merely forestalline
what she will have 10 do in the future if
she measures her strength in war against
the United States.
p MY firm belief is that Cuba is lost.
that Spain knows the island is lost and
that she also knows that her resources
would be exhausted by war with a young
nation OF unlimited wealth. But pride
does not often work in double harness
successfully with prudence. and We all
know from past history that Spain is very
proud and is not always prudent
Inquiry at the Spanish legation elicit
ed the information that il viii be abso-
lutely impossible for the Queen Regent to
enter into negotiations for the independ-
ence Of Cuba which viii be binding with
out the action of the Cortes. In support
Of this statement the Spanish minister
translated and quoted the portion of the
Spanish constitution pointed out by Con-
sui General Baldasano and quoted above.
