v COAL CONTRABAND.
The Significance Attached to the Action
OF Great Britain.

The Significance Attached to the Action
Of Great Britain.
Washington, April II The action
Of Great Britain in declaring coal to
be a contraband Of war, as reported
from Jamaica, is said to have Il sig
nilicancc different from that attached
to it in the dispatches. AS expected,
such an order would not prevent
a vessel Of either Spain or the
United States from taking coal at
Kingston or any other port in the
West Indies. Even when this article
is contraband it is said to be usual TO
permit a vessel Of bclligerent
power to take aboard sufficient coal
to carry her to the next port. Once
out Of port, however, the vessel takes
her chances with her contraband
cargo, and is liable to seizure as con-
traband of war while cnroute to the
port Of bclIigcrent power.
Applying this rule to the present
case it is said that if a Spanish YES
sci went to Kingston for coal she
would be able to take a supply sut1i-
clcflu 10 carry ilCE W IOlUD hlCO VI
Cuba. When once away from Kings
ton, however, the vessel and her car
60 would be subject to seizure by the
United States ships. The same
rule, it is said, would apply in case a
ship of Great Britain or any other
country was engaged in carrying such
a contraband article. The flag would
protect the ship as a whole but it
would not protect the contraband az
ticle on board, the ship being sub
ject to search and seizure OF the con-
traband article. The rule would ap.
ply equally, it is said, to ships taking
coal in Kingston for the use Of the
United States naval vessels.
In effect, however, the rule would
be applicable mainly to Spain, as the
United States naval vessels need not
look to the Indies for their supplies,
whereas, Spanish vessels would rely
upon this as we'll as other West In
dian ports for supplies.

Section 1920 of the Political Code


Section 1920 Of the Political Code
says the public administrators report
shall be published s'six weeks in some
newspaper in the county," and as the
county pays for the same it follows,
as a consequence, that it must be
published in the newspaper having
the contract to publish all notices
for which the county is chargcablc-
in other words, the county paper.
Which leads again to the question,
'Is the reason for the non-publlca-
tion of such reports the fact that
the official paper is republican and
the public administrator democrat?

General Lee said that he had seen
a copy Of a telegram from Admiral

the Maine explosion, to the Spanish
commission in London, asking the
commission to hurry up the electrical
cables.
''Whetler that referred to wire

clear to their young minds what a mineral
really is. Standing before them, she began
in her clear voice: "a mineral is an inor-

or approximately definite, chemical compo-

me? Come now, you have all seen minerals.
and your mothers and fathers nave told
you the names of them, haven't they? Of
course, they have. Now, can any one of
you tell me the names of three minerals?"
There was no response, and she continued:

evidence, estimated to contain at least
10000 words. which he is to take with
him to Washington. He looked well,
and said he felt well, though tired and
in need of rest. lie said the meetings
of the commission with the Spaniards
had been very harmonious. The in
structionS which the American COM
missioners could not deviate from
were gracefully submitted to by them,
and before the meeting ceased the
Spaniards had a very much higher re-

and other. conditions of Porto Rico
and its nearly 1.O0O,O 900 inhabitants.
Rcar-Admiral SchIey said that Porto

and Just now are carried away with
love for the Unied States and showing

Flag Secretary i. W. Wells said that
the Spaniards had almost entirely left
the island, being mostly in the mill
tary and civil service, and the small
number left were those compelled to
stay by their interest.
