TO ANN1H1LAT2 A NAVY.
nioOla Tesla Pro,oscs to Use HIS
Osci1lator In o..'-'> III: tae
ships of 49, "a.

Nicola Tesla Is on the eve of a new
achievement. He has learned q new use
for his oscil.ator, thnt marvellous cleo
trical instrument with whch Mr.. Tesla
was able to transmit messages without
wire or other artificial conductors,
years before the same result was
achieved by others.
He has now discovered that It is Just
as easy to blow up an enemy's vessel by
means of the ocsillator as 1t is to send a
message by telephone from one end Of
the city to the other. The question Of
distance between the enemy's ship and
Grafton at all. The same force that can
convey a message that distance will be
able, Mr.. Tesla thinks, to blow up the
biggest battleship that has ever been
afoat at an equal distance.
The manner of accomplishing this is,
of course, not divulged by the inventor
in detail. In general way, however.
he does not hesitate to say that he sim
ply conveys an electric spark into the
powder magazines of the vessel to be
blown up and the spark and powder do
the rest. ~
''By the aid of powerful machinery
the oscillator can be made to start q
vibratory wave," said Mr.. Tesla, (which
will accumulate force as it progresses.
In striking the object against which
the wave is directed it does SO with such
percussion as would inevitably ex.
plode it, the same as if it was struck
with percussion cap"
Mr.. Tesla will undoubtedly offer the
use of his invention to the United States
government. The only condition to the
success of MIR. Tes,a's operation is that
he be correctly posted as to the loca-
tion of the vessel he desires giving the
quietus to. In order to be able to ascer-
tain this to certainty, another phase
of the oscillator can be called into requi-
sitiOn.

PROTECTION FOR SHIPPING.
Adopts = Plan for Auxiliary Cruis-
ers t. Prevent Privateering.

The board of trustees of the San
Francisco chamber of commerce at
special meeting reached the conclusion
that the best means of protecting the
coast against privateers would be for
the citizens to procure auxiliary cruis-
ers by purchase or construction to pro-
tect merchant vessels against priva-
teers, and to create a military auxiliary
artillery with batteries for the defense
of the coast of San Francisco. 1t was
also suggested that a submarine cable
be laid from San Francisco to the Far
allon islands, and that signal station
be established upon the islands, in order
to announce approaching vessels one
day earlier than by the present meth
ods.

TREATIESW SWITHSPAIN
She Distinctly Abrosates All Made
with This Country.
Wy This Declarattc- II Made 10
..ct understood-Ehe Treaty
'.!-c: Canr..t BE

Spain in her Grafton of war
against the United states distinctly
abrogates all treA,..s that have been
heretofore made between the two coun-
tries, and declares them null and void.
Why this formality should be OBJ
served is difficult to understand, for
the general rule in international law is
that war extinguishes all treaties be
tween two nations. Where there are
treaties between two nations that con-
template a state of future war, and
make provisions for it, they must nec-
essarily remain in force, and no one of
the contracting parties can declare it
void without the consent of the other.
For instance, the treaty Of 1795 between
Spain and the United States provides
that American merchants doing busi-
ness in Spain and Spanish merchants
doing business in the United States
shall he allowed one year after the proc
lamation of war for collecting and
transporting their goods and merchan-
disc out of the adverse country, and if
they are molested in SO doing full satis-
faction shall be made to them by the
government. ln1S Is cOntlnulng
agreement between the two nations,
and it must remain in force, notwith-
standing the official abrogation, for the
time specified.
Altogether there have been IL
treaties, large and small, between the
United States and Spain. The great
majority Of them have been of minor
Importance, involving principally the
settlement of claims preferred by the
citizens of one country against the
other. There are already three treaties
of importance-that of 1905, which was
treaty of friendship, defining also the
territorial limits of the two countries,
and those of 1877 and 1882, which con-
cerned the extradition of criminals.
Except the clause protecting mer-
chants for a year, all the treaties be-
tween Spain and the United States are
aunulled. And the curious thing about
it, says the Chicago Tmes-H Herald, is,
that when the war is over the two ma.
tions will enter upon these treaties sub.
stantially as they now are, just as II
nothing had ever happened!

Com. Winfield Scott Schley, in his
book, "The Rescue of Greedy" thus
describes the finding of the explorer and
the other frozen and starved survivors
of the Lady Franklin Bay expedition in
July 1884:
"On his hands and knees was dark
man with long, matted beard and
brilliant staring eyes. As Lieutenant
Colwell approached he raised himself a
little and put on pair of eyeglasses.
"Who are your asked Colwell.
"The man made no answer, staring at
him vacantly.
"Who are you? again.
"One of the men spoke up: That is
the major-Major Greedy
"Colwell took him by the hand, say
ing to him, 'Greely, is this your
eyes said Greedy in faint, broken
voice, hesitating and shutting with his
words; 'Yes-seven Of us left-here we
are-dying-like men! Did what I
came to do-beat the best record! =
"Then he fell back exhausted"

WHAT ARE OUR R1GHTs7
DE-. Theodore .. woolsey, Professor
Of International Law at Yale, Gives
His Views Regarding sedsures.

DR.. Theodore s. woolsey, head of the
department of international law in
Yale law school, speaking Of the legality
Of the capture by American warships of
Spanish merchantmen prior to form
al declaration Of war, said: ut is
matter for the prize court to decide
whether war has yet begun or not. I
do not care to commit myself on this
delicate question. It is not established
that the suspension of all diplomatic
intercourse is absolutely equivalent to
declaration of war.
England and Venezuela, for exam
pie, during the recent disagreement
months. Nor is q formal declaration
of war necessary. In 1912 we began
war without formal declaration of
war.
"Any international legislation i'm
plying that war exists is equivalent to
q formal declaration.
"The general assumption is that legal
war begins when hostilities begin. If
war is not declared it may be that we
shall lack the exact point necessary to
determine the beginning of hostilties.
We did not declare war in 1912.
"The most important decision yet
made is that by Spain, in effect that
she will not capture property under a
neutral flag. If Spain holds to her word
in this respect our worst danger to
commerce from Spanish source is re-
moved.
''The fact that English owners have
laid claim to the cargo of one of the
ships captured by our blockading
squadron has nothing to do with q
ships carrying the Spanish flag. In the
case of such capture the cargo should
be handed over to the English owners
and freight charged by the American
| prize-takers. The United States does
not profess the doctrine that the hostile
| flag incriminates the cargo"
