HOW NATIONS DECLARE WAR
Course Of Procedure If Spain
Proyokp> is ,o HoStilitipS.
MANY THINGS TO CONSIDER

WA>IlI>GruN March j.-Nuh the prob.
ability or possibility Of Il war with Spain
it is interesting I" consider whit would
hc the r"nr Of procedure on the part
of this country in declaring war
War is usually preceded by drcla-
ration thereof, although the formal
declaration Of war which is borrowed
from tlr Romans, has fallen into ds',~,..
TIL" wars Of modern times have, rs Il
rule. Mgun without Il formal dc laratinn
In tins country an act OF Congress is
necessary to declare war. and the pas.
sage of such an act is sufficient ,t.clara-
tion thereof
The warnaking power in this Govern
mrht rests entirely with Congress. and
the President can authorize helligerant
operations. according I" Daniel Webster,
only in cases provided for by the Com
>titminn or law. But, while C"ngrr.
alone can declare war or authorize ii, the
Executive can &" lar enough in that di-
rcction. it it chmscs, to make such a
declaration practically nrrt ssarry in mp
holding the honor Of the country.
In event Of war with Spain the qu,.>-
tirn OF privatcrrng would h important.
This form ni attack, which is practically
licensed piracy, has not been p,ncllctd
by vessels of the United States for more
than sixtyiivr years, and it is probable
that lhi, country would enter into an
agreement with Spain tina, neither side
should issue letters "i mauJur to priva-
t"crs. Perhaps Spain would not ag'cc t"
that provision in the hope Of striking al
our coastwisc trade. There was an in
ternati"nai agreement on the subject in
1886, at Paris ab"liS|'ing privatrcring.
England, France, Austria, Prussia and
Russia were the original signers. N'arI.
all Of the nthcr maritime p"~crS Of the
world followed. Neither III" United
States nor Spain, 50 far Us it appears.
were parties I" that agreement.

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF THE WAR
CAPTAIN PAGET IS PREPARING
HIS REPORT.
Thinks Army Transportation By Sea
Should Be Controlled By the Navy
Destruction of Cervera's Fleet.

Washington. Sept 21.-Captain Alfred
Paget, British naval attache, assigned
to observe operations during the recent
campaign in the West Indies, is en-
gagged here in assembling the large
mass of material gathered in Cuba,
and in supplementing this with the
official data now being supplied by the
navy department. Speaking informally
today of some of his observations, Cap
tain Paget said it had been shown
quite clearly that the naval branch of
the service should have complete con-
troll of all army transportation by sea.
He points out that this is the practice
the world over. In the British service
all transports are under the control of
the admiralty. This. practice could be
adopted with advantage by this coun-
try, in Captain Paget's opinion, as
much of the confusion in the transport
tation and landing of the army supplies
was due to the ineXperience of mer-
chant captains of transports, and to the
direction of all sea, transportation by
the army, rather than by the navy.
Captain PagetS report will devote
much attention to the destruction of
Admiral Cerveras fleet, as this was
the main naval incident of the war. He
is securing from the navy department
complete reports of the gunnery of the
American ships, with a view Of show
ing the Importance OF the man behind
the gun" Captain Paget's personal
view is that Admiral Cervera's sortie
was a most fOOlhardy venture, which
cannot be justified by naval standards,
even though ordered by the admiraPs
supeT-Ors. According to Captain Pag-
cts view, the most effective use Ad-
miral Cervera could have made of his
squadron was to have dismantled them
of all the lighter guns, particularly the
quick-fire, and turned over guns and
men to General Toral for use in de-
Tending the city. In case of a sortie
from the harbor, Captain Paget shares
the view of American naval officers
that the sortie should have been made
at night.
Captain Paget speaks highly of our
new battleships and cruisers, particu-
larly those now on the stocks, which
he has examined critically through the
plans and specifications. He says for
eign naval experts long recognized that
first-class warships could be built in
the United States, although he does not
admit that our ships yet excel, or even
equal, those of British build In this
connection a prominent American ma
val officer recently told Captain Paget
that the new cruiser New Orleans
bought in England during the early
stages of the war, was a revelation to
the authorities here in so far as her
guns and armament are concerned.

PETITIONS FROM HAVA|IANS
WERE NOT CONSULTED AS TO
ANNEXATION.
Want Restoration of the Monarchy,
Under An American Protectorate-
Natives Are Divided Into Factions

San Francisco, Sept. 21.-The steamer
Panama arrived today from Australian
points, via Honolulu, bringing advices
from the latter place, Sept. 10, saying
that the congressional commissioners are
finishing their work and expect TO leave
for Washington on Sept. %.
The commissioners are being deluged
with petitions and memorials from the
native Hawaiians. The sentiment OF the
natives appears to be divided one lac
ton desires the restoration OF the queen,
while the other accepts the new order OF
affairs ana asks for certain rights under
the new form of government. The natives
who favor the restoration held mass
meeting on Sept. Y and adopted me-
mortal which was presented TO the com
missioners. The memorial alleges that
the annexation treaty has failed ana the
joint resolution is ineffective because 1t
was not passed by the people of the Ha-
waiian islands or the representatives or
the legislature. The memorial concludes
by asking that the constitutional govern
ment of Jan. 16, 1893. be restored, under
the protection of the United States of
America. Among the speakers at the
mass meeting was Robert W. wilcox,
the revolutionist, who i few weeks ago
took the oath of allegiance in order to
qualify himself for a full pardon for
past misdeeds. Pointing to the United
States flag over the government building,
he said:
1T is useless to say that the flag over
there will not come down again. 1t was
up before and it came down. 1t will be
shown that the annexation vote was car
ried through by a handful of foreigners.
If America loves US, why were not Ha-
waiians placed on the commission. We
are not represented there. The next
thing, we shall not be able to vote.
The other faction of Hawaiians has
also presented a memorial to the COM
mission. This memorial asks for a ter
ritorial form of government, with full
rights for the natives, and permission to
make aDDrODria tiOnS for ex-Oueen 1iliuO-
kalani, Princess Kaiulani and Queen
DoWager KaDioiani.
