COAL NOT C0NTRABAND OF WAR
VIII Be Sold to Any Pur.
chaser.

Kingston. Jamaica, April 1.-THE colonial
authorities here say that. until specific
instructions to the contrary are received
from the homo government. coal will not
be regarded as contraband Of war. There
are now 900 tons Of Welsh and Ameri-
can steaming coal in Jamaica ports. and
it will be sold to any purchaser. Spanish
or American. The British government has
not yet sent special neutrality directions
here.
The correspondent here Of the Associated
Press is semi officially Informed tina: the
increase in the force OF the British fleet
and the reinforcing Of the garrison here are
measures taken to prepare for the enforce
ment Of neutrality. in anticipation Of war
between the United States and Spain.
The officials of the colonial government
regard the possibility of a United States
protectorate over Cuba as likely to be
hurtful to Jamaica. as. they say. it would
engage capital for the former island that
would otherwise be employed here.

Washington. April LIT is said at the
department of justice that. in case Of hos
tlities. the question whether coal, under
the neutrality laws, is contraband Of war
must depend upon the circumstances Of
each Individual case. Undoubtedly neutrals
would be permitted to supply war or any
other vessels with sufficient coal to take
them to the next friendly port, but under
no circumstances would they have the right

warships. Until war Is actually In prog

majority-resigned, the reason being that
the people were not left free to choose
their candidates, but were requested 10
take their choice of candidates nominated
by the military authorities. The same
evening an attempt was made to hold a
meeting-an Indignation meeting-at the
theater. Police and troops were called out
and at one stage matters became so crit
ical that officers in charge gave orders 10

In the event of war. it is hard to predict
the attitude that the Porto Ricans will
adopt. Few of them know that war threat

fortnight a news bulletin arrives by steam

Whether our ships will prove TO be as

Uncle Sam is calling attention to Mckinley

suit that was retaed at SIS. 90. To-day
