RiEhts Of Private Properly In War.
The experiences Of the last year bring
forciblp home TO us sense OF the bur
dens and the waste of war. We desire
in common with most civilized nations.
to reduce 10 the lowest possible point
the damage sustained In time OF war
by peaceabie trade aud commerce. 1t
IS true we may suffer In such cases less
than other communities, but all ma
tons are damaged more or less by the
state OF uneaslness and apprehension
into which an outbreak OF hosuitties
throws the entire commercial world. 1t
should be our object, therefore, TO MIN
ifnize, so far as practicable this inevl-
table loss and disturbance. This pur-
nose probably will be best accomplished
BY an international agreement to regard
oil private property at sea as exempt
from capture or destruction by the
forces Of beillgerent powers. The United
States government has for many years
advocated this humane and benefcent
principle and Is now in position 70 reg
ommend It to other powers without the
imputatlon OF selfish motives. ! there
fore suggest for your consideration that
the executive be authorized 70 CORES
pond with the governments Of the prln-
cipal maritime powers with a view OF
incorporating into the permanent law
Of civilized nations the principle OF the

SECRET ADvIcEs FROM HAVANA.

Mr.. Long refers to the reports of secret intel
ugence agents in Havana as follows:
The Wasp was sent on May p to carry ad-
vica 70 Commodore Schley informing him that
dailv confidential reports received AT Key West
from Havana stated that the Spanish squadron
had heen In Santiago de Cuba from the 18th 20
the 9th inclusive and directing him 10 proceed
with all possible dispatch TO that port
At this time two kilograms dated Cienfuegos
Nav "a were received by Admiral Sampson
from Commodore Schley, stating that coaling
of that port very uncertain; that he mad
ascertaincd that the Spanish fleet was not In
Cienfuegos and would go eastward on the next
daV the 25th. but that on account OF short coal
supply I'm ships he could not blockade If the
Spanish fleet was in Santiago but would pro-
coed TO the vicinity OF Nicholas Mole, from which
point he would communicate.
Upon the receipt Of this Information Admiral
Sampson at once decided to go to Key West for
coal and IL authorized by the Department. to
proceed to Santiago in person. The New OF
leans was instructed on this same day, May -
to proceed as rapidly possible TO that port IN
company with the collier Sterling, and with or
ders 10 Commodore Schley to remain on the
blockade at Santiago at all hazards, assuming
that the Spanish vessels were In that port rms
order further directed that the collier Sterllhs
should be used to obstruct the channel ieadins
into the harbor and that In the mean time the
utmost care should be exercised that none Of the
Spanish vessels in that port be allowed 10 es-
cane Admiral Sampson arrived at Key west

WAS THIS REPUDIATIoN2
Both France and Germany on a
BimetalIfc Basis-And With
out an InternatIonI Agree
ment.


Not over two months ago the
bank of France refused to redeem
its notes in gold, and refused to
sell gold at premium.
Not a week ago the Secretary of
the United States treasury urged
the people of the country to insist
on keeping the nations credit as
invioIate as is kept the credit of
France and Germany.
But the Secretary of the Treas
ury in this country insists on
maintaining the "endless chain" by
redeeming greenbacks in gold and
thus encouraging money specula-
tors to make attacks on the nation
al credit. France does not do any
thing of the kind. Neither does
Germany, and yet these countries
are held up by American financiers
as models of sound credit.
In discussing the recent action
of the Bank of France, New York
banker says: "France and Germa-
ny are often referred to as gold
standard countries. They are real
", however, ON a bimetallic basis,
for they redeem their notes in gold
or in silver, as they please, and are
very sure to redeem them in silver,
il it is thought that gold is desired
for export. The United States and
England are the only real gold
standard countries. Both redeem
their notes in gold ON demand"
The Chicago Dispatch says it is
certainly disingenuous for the Sec
rotary of the United States Treas
ury to praise France and Germany
for their financial wisdom, and in
the same breath to urge Congress
to destroy a financial system which
properly pursued, is parallel tothat
of the countries named.
There is no more necessity for
the endless chain in the United
States than there is in France and
Germany. 1t is simply creation
of the gold clique in order that it
may be used as an argument tode-
stroy the greenbacks.
