Daily new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1897-1906, 1898-04-27

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Conditions
in Washington are rapidly settling
down to those of actual war. Notices
have come to the state department from
the four quarters of the globe showing
that the nations, as a rule, are prepared
to assume an attitude of strict neutral
ity as between the United States and
Spain in the present struggle. In most
cases they were in answer to the iden-
tical note sent out by the state depart
ment to all United States embassies and
legations, instructing them to inform
the governments to which they We're
accredited that war has existed since
April 81. Great Britain always has
taken an advance stand in the principles
OF neutrality, SO that it was with great
interest that the news was received
here of the terms of the neutrality
proclamation issued in London
On the whole, the officials are dis
posed to take the view that strict ad-
herence by Great Britain to these rules
viii be rather more advantageous to the
United States than to Spain, particu-
larry as we are now operating in the
naval sense close to our own base of
supplies, and in all probability soon will
cut Spain off from the two bases that
she now has in the neighborhood of
Cuba.
The president issued proclamation
laying down rules as to the seizure of
prizes, and the result, it is believed,
will be the release OF some of the ships
already captured, though it will be for
the prize courts to determine in each
case whether the conditions under which
the ship was captured are such as to
warrant release. The impression pre-
walls that the Buena Ventura, the first
on the list of prizes, will be declared no
prize.
The case of the Panama, whose seiz-
IRE was reported, is more complicated
owing to the fact that, while otherwise
exempt, the ship was reported to have
contained supplies for the Spanish army
in Cuba which are contraband. How
ever, it may be said that, while the set
Element of these questions will be left
to the courts, the administration be-
heves the greatest hberality should be
shown in the application of the laws
where a vessel is not contraband or at
tempting to run the blockade. That is
shown in the liberal terms of the proc
lamation itself by which the prize
courts must be guided. 1t is noted also
that the administration has not been de-
TERED by any criticism in congress from
again formally pledging isself to the ma
lions OF the world to refrain from priya-

Valuable Horse Drowned near
Mannington---Perils OF the Deep
which Hauling there Entails---True
Story From the Advocate.

Residents of the county who do all
their travelling over the sidewalks and
on the railroad have no idea of the
terrible condition of the country roads
at the present time. All talk about
it being muddy but few realize just
how muddy and how bad the roads
are
The teamsters who do the heavy
hauling know, however, and the story
of some of their experiences, although
true in every particular, almost sur
passes belief. Last Monday while
team, owned by John Hopkins, was
at work in the Flat Run district one
of the horses slipped and fell into the
mud. The other horse fell on top of
the first one and before they could be
cut loose the under horse was smoth-
cred to death by the mud 1t was
fine animal and valued at $175.
In the same neighborhood, a few
days since, team hauling casing be-
came stuck in the mud and the horses
had to be unhitched and pulled out
by second team.
