NO PROTEST FROM ITALY.
A silly Story by Way of Paris-Case of
the Montzerrat.

"A silly story by way OF PartS-CaSe OF
the Montzerrat.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-The announce
ment by way of Paris that the Italian
government had protested against the
continuance of the blockade of the Gu
ban coast on the ground that it was in
effective met a prompt denial at the
state department and it can be stated
definitely that neither in Washington
nor in Rome has any representations
on this subject been addressed to the
United States government. AS mat
ter of fact Italy probably is the mari
time power of all others with which
the United States has had absolutely no
correspondence in the slightest degree
connected with the Cuban blockade.
AS to the allegation that the blockade
is Ineffective it is said that ON the con-
trary it has been singularly successful
and that SO far as known not single
neutral ship subject to detention has
passed the lines without the express
consent of our governments.
The MontZerrat, it is true, did enter
Cienfuegos harbor before our blockad-
ing ships had had time to get around
the south side of Cuba and establish
The blockade, and she did manage to
get out at night. But she is Spanish
ship, and Spain is perhaps the only ma
ton in the world that has lost the
power to enter a protest against block
ade, being a combatant herself. Tt is
only for neutral powers to enter such
protests, and none of them has as yet
the slightest pretext for such action.
With the beginning of the present
week all Spanish vessels in United
States ports, which sailed after the out
break of war are subject to seizure as
well as all Spanish merchantmen found
on the high seas, save where they left
port for the United States before April
e1st last, owing to the presidents pro.
slamation on that point some time ago.

Port de Paix is in the northwestern

may have been from any part of the
eastern extremity of Cuba. AS the

Gently bombarded by American war

Law-Proposed Privateering.

MADRID, May 24.-Count Almenas
vehemently protested in the senate
against the alleged action of some
American warships in displaying the
Spanish flag in order to deceive the
garrison of Guantanamo, as announced
in a dispatch from Captain General
Blanco, who added that the American
ships were Immediately recognized
and repulsed" The count asked if the
government had notified the powers of
this incident.
The minister of the interior, Senior
Capdepon, replied that he had notified
the powers and described this reported
action as ''cowardly and ubiquitous.
Count Almenas then said that Sin
view of Americas manner of making
war, Spain must Immediately decree
privateering, in order to utterly destroy
American shipping.
To this the minister of the interior
replied that the government had DELHI
Grated upon the matter, land had even
taken certain decisions which would
shortly be known"
Count Guendulain said the Ameri-
cans "act of piracy was admitted by
/ CSEbdlu bllCOIl5ub DIS llDGEudblOndl law.
Senior Martinez Paicho remarked that
it was doubtful whether such an act
was legal.
But" he added ''in face of the
Americans conduct i'll the war with
Spain we must not show consideration
for them.
Continuing, the speaker protested
against Spain s adherence to the Ge-
neva convention, whereupon the minis
ter of the interior replied that Spain
had not yet entered the convention.
WASHINGTON, May %. - The dis
patches from Madrid giving the sharp
debate in the cortes over the alleged fly
ing of the Spanish flag by American
Warships, created much comment in
naval circles. Spain's protest to the
powers that this use of the flag was
"cowardly and ubiquitous" was dis
missed by naval officers with the state
ment that international law writers
agreed ON the right to use an enemy's
flag for the purpose of deceit, so long as
the flag is hauled down before a shot is
fired.
The statement made by the Spanish
minister of interior that the govern
ment is likely to resort to priyateering
does not cause any apprehension among
officials here. One OF the highest
authorities of the navy department
said Spain would adopt privateering if
she felt it to be to her interest without
waiting for this country to give any
pretext for such action. It is felt, how
ever, that Great Britain, Germany and
France will have considerable to say in
case Spain resorts to privateering,
The commerce of these countries with
IL I
severely by Spanish privateering, and
it's effect would be far more disastrous
to these foreign interests than to the
shipping of the United States. 1t was
this influence of Great Britain, Ger
many and France which forced Spain
reluctantly to forego privateering, and
it is not thought probable these foreign
influence will now consent to have their
commerce destroyed.
