Announcement that u. S. Would
Not Privateer Cheered.

LONDON, April 21.-Replying in the
House of Commons to Sir Arthur
Bower Forwood Conservative, Mr..
Balfour, the Government leader and
| Acting Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, said that in regard to neutral
vessels the Government had received
from the United States a notification
that it would adhere to the principles
of the treaty of Paris. The announce
ment was greeted with cheers Mr.. Bal
four announced that no answer on the
subject had been received from Spain.
Michael Davitt Qrish NationalisO
asked whether the Government would
consider the advisability of notifying
the British colonies and her merchants
that coal must be considered contra
band of war during the continuance of
hostilities between Spain and the
United States.
Mr. Balfour replied: Her majesty'S
Government cannot lay down the prin-
ciple that coal is contraband in the
way suggested. There is no doubt that
it very frequently is contraband, but
not of necessity or under all circum-
stances"
Mr. Balfour added: "The treaties of
1895 and 1899 between Spain and the
United States affirming between them
selves the principle that a neutral flag
covers the enemy's goods are still i'll
force. Whether a steamer carrying
American or Spanish official dispatches,
after war is declared, is liable to seiz-
ure, must depend upon the facts in the
case. No general answer could be
given"
Continuing, Mr.. Balfour said: Il
confidently expect the same answer
from Spain''
Answering the question which Mr.
Dalzel gave notice of yesterday of put
ting to-day, whether or not steps arc
pedo boat Arudaz now at Queenstown
for repairs, in the event of war break
ing out before the repairs are complet-
ed, SO as to prevent repetition of the
Alabama case, Mr.. Balfour said that
if, as he understood it to be the case,
the ArudaZ is a commissioned ship of
the Spanish navy, it would be contrary
to international practice to detain her.
The Attorney General Sir Richard
Webster, replying to James Dalziel
GiberaD said that in view of the dec
laratfon of the United States and acts
of Spain upon previous occasions, the
Government did not contemplate that
there would be any interference with
British goods on board ships belonging
to the belligerents or on board British
ships except contraband of war.

The bombardment lasted for two
hours, when General Shafter reported
that shells were mostly falling in the
bay and doing but little damage.
The last shot, however, struck a
prominent church in the heart of the
city, which was heavily stored with
powder and ammunition, causing ire
mendous explosion. The extent of the
damage is not yet known.
When the warships ceased firing and
before General Shafter had begun a
