RESPONSIBILITY OF SPAIN.

Theory-Internatio Law.
CHICAGO, February A.-The question OF
the responsibility which might attach TO
the Government of Spain in case the
Maine explosion was due to a mine in the
harbor Of Habana, and was the work Of
q fanatic or an accident, has been a sub
1ect Of discussion among lawyers. Inter
national law is matter largely OF prece-
dent, and a mine explosion in fortified
harbor i'm time of peace has no precedent.
All unite in saying that If such an event
was by design, It would be cause for war,
but no less an authority than Robert T.
Lincoln. Secretary Of War under Presi-
dents Garfield and Arthur and former
Minister to England. is positive that in
case it was an accident, or If the mine
were exploded by a Spanish fanatic,
Spain would not be burdened with any
legal responsibility.
Mr.. Lincoln said: "In neither case
would the slightest liability attach TO
Spain. Assuming a mine exploded by a
fanatic OF by accident, and that would be
the end of the affair. Giving interna-
tional law the widest latitude, and
stretching precedents to their limit, there
would be no liability against the Govern
ment Of Spain. 1t Is an elementary prin-
ciple of international law that a govern
ment is In no way responsible for the
acts OF private citizens. 1t is another
primary principle that no nation is re-
spOnsible for accidents. AS to the right
of a nation to fortify its harbors as IT
sees fit there cannot be the slightest
doubt Whenever a vessel, therefore, en-
ters the harbor Of a foreign Power ii is
with notice OF such defences and with
an assumption of the chances they in
VOlVe."

hour and three quarters. Attorney-Gene-
raj of Virginia Montague argued for the

counsel with the Attorney-General, arr
gued the question Of constitutionality.

a shame, he said. that members should
be laid open TO such attacks. Such charges
as these are cruel, he said and should be
investigated. $50 as 20 put the lie where
1t belongs"
VOTE CONFIDENCE IN sTRATToN
Mr.. Loehr moved that the camp should
pass vote of confidence in DR. Stratton-
Several members thought this would De
doing him an injustice. as no charges nao
been preferred. but DIR. Stratton was ASK
ed If such a course would be agreeable
to him, and when he expressed the wish
for vote, the question was put ana the
motion unanimously adopted. Commander
Gibbs suggested that the latter paN OF
Mr.. Humphreys resolution should DC
eliminated, and a committee or I'VE ap-
pointed to see the authors OF the charge
and investigate all rumors. This met
with opposition
Mr.. Beveridge said Mr.. Jennings should
be called on for names and charges pre-
ferred against him il he refused to give
them.
Mr.. Pumphrey accepted the command

just how much truth there is to the
above. Farmers can't afford to- use
