- Great Britain's declaration OF the,

Swould necessitate a renewal OF the sup
\ ply: and the central position OF Hawaii
is pointed to by naval experts who
want It for naval base. 3,
y: Hawaii IS 4 900 miles from the Philip
pines. Her position in the family OF
4 nations would compel her to observe
Fstrict neutrality and not to favor one

pointed out, would result In placing

Applying this rule to the present case.
u Is said that III Spanish ship went to
Kingston for coal the would be able to
carry supply sufficient 10 carry her
to Porto Rico or Cuba. When once
away from Kingston, however, the yes.
sci and her cargo would be subject to
seizure by United States ships.
The rule. It Is said, would apply In
case q ship OF Great Britain or any
other country was engaged In carrying
such n contraband article. The flag
would protect the ship as a whole, but It
would not protect the contraband arti-y
Gle on board. the ship being subject to
search and to seizure Of the .contraband
article. This rule would apply equally,
It liz sald, to ships taking Goa. In Kings
ton for the use OF United States naval
vessels. In effect, however, the rule
would be applicable mainly to Spain, as,
tho United States naval vessels need
not look to British West indies for their
coal supplies, whereas Spanish vessels
would rely upon this as well as other
West Indian ports for such supplies.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Hon. The

assistant secretary Of the navy in case
Of hostiAties with Spain to accept a
commission for active service in the
army. Nothing definite has yet been
decided upon as to what assignment he
will accept, but 1t Is believed that he

From the beginning OF the present DIFF

iieye tina: war is the only solution OF
the problem, and since the disaster to
the Maine his advice to the President
and the members OF the cabinet has
uniformly been for immediate action

never doubted that he Spanlards were
