There was but little debate on the
$50, 900 appropriation for war
purposes.
"hen there was a preliminary talk
about the bill it was decided that
there would be a four hours debate
on it. This was met with cries Of
'Vote, "Vote, - on both sides of the
house. The bill came to the House
as a part of the urgent deficiency bill
and not as a separate measure.

A NEW VIEW OF THE MAINE
INCIDENT.

bar is out in a letter in the New Yorl
"World, III which he takes a new
view of the Maine incident, one tina
at least is interesting. His position
is that the onus probandi is not or
the United States to prove that the
explosion was the result of external
causes, but that it is on Spain tc
prove internal causes.
This proposition, as he confesses,
apparently sails in the very teeth Of
the law OF evidence, but he fortifes
his position by an adriot line of ar
gument that is worth the reading. In
brief, Mr.. Buffers reasoning is that
the protection a State extends over
It's people in every country is su-
preme, and not limited by the rules
which bind individuals in their deal
1ngs with each other. When, there
tore, a sovereign Power acts in pro
lection of its subjects or citizens. if
can do SO in a more high handed
than can an individual as
serting his personal rights.
He quotes Wildnlan as defining in
ternational law thus:
The customary law which deter
mines the rights and regulates the in
%tercourse of independent States in
peace and war, and the learned Dr.,
Phllllmore, in his book on Interntionl
Law page 6S) says, "Analogv has
great influence in the decisions of in
ternational as we'll as municipal
tribunals"
He considers that under the known
circumstances it is incumbent upon
Spain to clear her skirts of ''suspi-
c1on, and until she does so she must
be held responsible for the disaster.
In part, this proceeds upon the line
OF though, several times expressed in
the Record Union" that Spain is
bound to afford our ships in her waters
reasonable protection, and if she fails
IN that she is responsible for what hap
pens. But Mr.. Butler goes a step
beyond that, and we think without
due warrant. We cannot TEST idle
and say to Spain, Clear yourself of
Suspicion; we suspect, now prove your
l~nnocence.' Evidently our Govern
ment holds against Mr.. Buffers view.
else 1t would not have ordered IN
investigation. But holds with him.
IN so far that it has assisted and
encouraged Spain to make an investi-
for herself.
The fact that Spain has investigated
nay be taken, perhaps, as part con-
in the Butler position. 1t
night be constructed as admission of
iuty to afhrmatively clear her skirts.
Wethink the broader view, however
S this, that we must first charge neg
ect on Spain, or direct purpose, before
can hold her to account, and that
cannot found this demand on mere
suspicion Record Union.

other day the American troops went
to the assistance of the rebels, who
had been expelled from their trenches
by the Spaniards. The latter rctireC
before the American advance. The
rebels have been shcllng Manila from
four guns on the south side of the city.
Admiral Dewey has received word
from Capt. Gen. Augustin that he is
willing to surrender as soon as he can
do so honorably. II is believed that
he will only make Il show of resist
ance. Admiral Dewey expects to take
the city without losing a single man.
Should Dewey and Merritt begin tho
attack Augustin will propose to ca
pituatc on the following terms:
The Spanish troops to march out
with the honors of war; the soldiers
and officials to bc permitted to return
on parole to Spain, and an assurance
be given that the lives and property
of Spaniards Will be protected from
