responsibility which might attach to
the government OF Spain in case the
Name explosion was due to q mine in
the harbor OF Havana, aud was the

become subject of discussion among
lawyers. International law is matter
largely Of precedent, and a mine explo'

has no precedent. All unite in saying
that il such an event was by design it
would be cause for war. No less an
authority than Robert T. Lincoln, sec.
rotary Of war under Garfield and

dent, or if the mine was exploded by
Spanish fanatic, Spain would not be
burdened with any legal responsibility.
