QUESTION OF PRIVATEERlNG

Washington, April 22.-The state depart
ment has relinquished its connection with
the Cuban question, which has practically
passed into the hands of the army and
navy. OF course all direct correspondence
with Spain has now ceased but the de-
partment has still to perform a number
Of formal acts required by international
law, mainly in the direction of notifying
the foreign powers Of the conditions under
which the United States Will conduct the
war with Spain. These viii include a
notice in full form to all the powers, of
the intention of the United States to
refrain from privateering. to respect the
goods Of neutrals in Spanish bottoms and
Spanish goods not contraband, in neutral
bottoms.
Respecting the purpose Of the president
to refrain from any privateering, which
formed the subject Of some criticism in
the senate yesterday at the hands of Mr..
Money. & can be stated that the declara-
ton already published was an expression
Of the personal wish Of the executive. It
is fully realized that the constitution con-
ferred upon congress the right to issue
letters Of marque and reprsal under
which the privateers must operate. But
the reasons for abstaining from the prac-
tee of this semi%egalized form Of piracy
are so prudent, in the opinion Of the ad-
ministration officials. that it is not doubt
ed congress will heed the admonition to
refrain from exercising that power. One
of these reasons, probably sufficient in
Itself. is that in the event privateering
Is recognized by the combatants, Spain
would be able to inf1ict damage upon she
United States merchant marine many fold
greater than we could reasonably expect
TO fniict upon Spanish commerce. It IS
said that Spain has very little shipping
OF her own and most of her commerce is
carried on in what would be neutral bot
toms and so be exempt from privateers-
On the other hand, aside from the act
ual foreign commerce OF the United
States. the coastwise traffic is Of vast
Importance, financially, and owing to the
onerous length OF our coast line, this is
peculiarly exposed 20 interruption and
seizure The United States navy proper
may be relied upon to protect this COM
merce from attack by the vessels Of the
Spanish navy, operating a long distance
from their base, but It would be a her1

PACIFIC COAST IS SAFE

Mare Island Nevy Yard, Cal. Aprfl %.
I'VE are prepared today to capture or
destroy any force that Spain could posi-
bly, send against the Pacific coast" said
Rear Admiral Kirkland "In the first
place the Spanish government has no
vessels in the Pacific waters nearer than
the Philippine Islands. We have great
er force there than Spain, and can easily
take care of the opposig fleet
1.-THE next possibility lies in sending a
fleet through the Straits of Magellan.
Even II Spain had the ships they would
be practically useless after they got into
the Pacific, through lack Of coal
1--WE have two monitors. the Monad-
mock and the Monterey, that are more
than a match for any vessel in the Span
ish navy.
Besides these two. we have the Ben
nington and tho Mohican, which are now
enroute from the Hawaiian Islands. The
Charleston will be IN commission by May
!. and if It were necessary we could have
the Georgetown and the Philadelphia in
fighting trim by the first % June.
what I rely upon largely to complete
our coast defenses are the ten vessels
recently acquired. Another valuable ad-
junct to our Pacific coast defenses are
the three torpedo boats now nearing
completion in the Sound. This number
can be increased materially, if the ne
cessity presents, since each requires only
sixty days for building"
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1898-04-23

culanean task to undertake to protect
5000 miles of coast line against the for
aye of the privateers who might swarm
under the Spanish flag. Every European
port shelters some craft owned by ven
turesome spirits who would not hesitate
for a moment TO taake their chances as
privateers and ask for letters Of marque.
No secret is made Of the conviction that
Spain will either willingly or by COM
pulsion follow our course in refraining
from privateering. In fact, 1t IS gathered
that when this decision was arrived at
by our government as a result Of personal
inquiries from the British embassy it
was reached upon the understanding that
England alone stood ready TO see TO It
that Spain did not authorize privateerlng.
OF course all this program is subject to
disarrangement during the progress Of the
war.

I|NE TO TAKE HAWAII
War Emergency May Greatly
Simplify Annexation
IF UNCLE SAM DOESN'T
Seize the Islands There Is
Danger That Spain Will,

Washington, April 22.-Members of the
senate committee on foreign relations
are generally without information as 10
the plans7of the administration in Ha-
wall, but some Of them endorse the idea
of securing the Pacific islands by seiz-
ure at this time in view of their stra-
tegic Importance. Senator Davis, chair
man Of the committee. is among thase
who hold this view. He said today that
he considered that the United States
would be entirely justified in taking the
Islands in case Of war, as a war meas
ure.
They would" he said. 'be necessary
for our own defense and we would be
justified in their seizure at such time 20
prevent their falling into the hands Of
our enemies, to whom they would be in
valuable. What is to prevent SPANS
sending a cruiser TO Honolulu and seiz-
ing the country, together with our prop
erty interests there, including our coal,
of which I understand We have quite
supply in the islands? Further there are
in Hawaii many American citizens whose
interests it is necessary we should pro-
tect. For these and other reasons I
should endorse the taking possession by
the United States while at war with an
other country into whose hands they
might fall. We. of course know that
the Hawaiian government is friendly to
annexation, so that requirement by this
means would not be so violent a proceed
ing as It might seem under other cir
cumstances'
1t is held in case possession was &C
quired in this way there would be no
necessity for confrmatory action by con-

WITHOUT PAIN.
A Medical Discovery That ETectuaIly
Cures Piles in Every Form.

For many years physicians have exper-
lmented in vain, seeking remedy which
would efectually cure piles and other
rectal troubles, without resorting to a
surgical operation. Many remedies were
found to give temporary relief but none
could be depended upon TO make last
ting. satisfactory cure
Within recent period, however. a new
remedy. the Pyramid Pile Cure, has been
repeatedly tested in hundreds Of cases
and with highly satisfactory results.
The first effect Of the Pyramid Pile
Cure is to instantly remove the pain and
irritation generally present and from
that time on the cure rapidly progresses
and before the patient is hardly aware
OF 1t he is entirely cured. The remedy
seems TO act directly on the nerves and
blood vessels Of the parts affected as It
comes in direct contact with them and
sets up a healthy action. which in per
fectly natural way brings the parts to
their normal condition.
The remedy does its work without any
pain or inconvenience to the sufferer and
IS Justly considered one Of the most rner-
itorious discoveries of modern medicine.
Piles is one Of the most annoying and
often times dangerous diseases with
which humanity is afflicted. II neglected
Il frequently develops into fstula or
some equally fatal or incura bic trouble.
whereas by the timely use Of this simple
but effective remedy no one need suffer
d single day from any form OF piles IN
less they want 20.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is perfectly
harmless, containing no mineral poisons.
and is also very reasonable in price. Il
is sold IN drug stores everywhere at 50
cents per package. The manufacturers
OF the remedy are the Pyramid Drug Co
OF Marshall Mich. who have placed this
excellent preparation before the public
only after giving It thorough and re-
peated tests IN the hands OF reputable
physicians. The results in hundreds OF
cases have convinced Us that il viii no,
