articles, the principal one in question
in the present war being coal.
The Italian chamber Of deputies
has decided that coal is not contra
band of war. The United States
government holds that it is. A de-
cision by the powers may be neces-
sary in order to settle the question.
During our civil war England took
strong grounds on the subject and
made both parties to the conflict
aware that coal was decidedly contra
band Neither union nor confeder-
ate steamers could obtain a cargo of
coal in English ports. When in 1864
a confederate warship went into Hall
fax with her fires about out, she was
allowed to take just enough coal to
reach the nearest friendly port. A
careful computation was made from
her log and steaming record and
the exact amount Of coal required was
weighed out to her in sacks of 100
pounds each. The Importance of a
neutral power really remaining neu-
trail was proved in the case of the
Alabama claims, in which England
was obliged to pay the United States
$15, 100000 for her failure to live I'M
to the neutrality agreements.

four men were injured. All three of
the American vessels were unpro-

a revenue cutter. An inquiry is to be
made as to why the boats were sent

suspected in Washington that there
were French gunners on the released
blockade runner Lafayette and that
they now man the Spanish guns. The
battle while it lasted was terrific. The

They went right up under the guns
