Little Bow Kings Big Titles.

London Daily News: Now that
Spain seems about to lose all or nearly
all the remains of her once proud en-
pire beyond the sea, it is interesting to
note how the memory OF her past
grandeur is to be found in the official
designation of her infant king.
Here are his names and titles in full:
Alfonso XIII, Leon Ferdinand Maria
James IsidOre Pascal Antonio. King of
Spain, of CASTLE, of Jerusalem. of Ma
varre, of Grenada, of Toledo, of Valen-
tia, of Galicia. of Majorca, of Minorca.
of Seville, of Cerdena, of Cordona, of
Algebra, of Gibraltar. of the Canaries,
of the East and West Indies, of India
and the oceanic continent, Archduke of
Austria, Duke of Burgundy. of Bra
bant and of Milan, Count of Hapsburg,
of Flanders. of Tyrol and of Barcelona,
and Lord of Biscay and Molina.
As his little majesty will not be II
years of age until the 18th of this pres
ent month of May. one is forcibly re-
minded of old Eccles' comment when he
hears the long tale of his little grand
sons aristocratic Christian names:
He doesn't look big enough to hold
them all"

SPANISH PRIvATEERS.
Neutral Powers May Have Something
to Say About It.

Washington. May 2S.-The statement
made by the Spanish minister of the
interior that the government is likely
to resort to privateering, does not cause
any apprehension among officials here.
One of the highest authorities of the
navy department said Spain would
adopt privateering if she felt it TO be
to her interests, without waiting for
this country to give any ~ text for
such action. 1t is felt, no.. ever, that
Great Britain, Germany and France
will have considerable TO say in case
Spain resorts to privateering. The
commerce of these countries with the
United States would suffer very severe
iy by Spanish privateering, and its eff
feet would be far more disastrous TO
these foreign interests than to the ship
ping of the United States. 1t was this
influence of Great Britain, Germany
and France which forced Spain reluct-
antly to forego privateering and it is
not thought probable the foreign intlu-
ences will now consent to have their
commerce destroyed.

FLYING THE SPANISH FLAG.
Action of Our Warship Upheld al
Washington.

Washington, May 23.-Late in the day
the Associated Press dispatches from
Madrid. giving the sharp debate in the
cortes over the alleged flying of the Span
ish flag by American warships, created
much comment in naval circles. SPANS
protest to the powers that this use of the
flag was "cowardly and fliduitous" was
dismissed by naval officers with the
statement that international law writer's
agreed on the right to use an enemy
flag for purposes of deceit, so long as the
flag is taken down before g shot is fired
The United States naval regulations make
specific provision on this point. The navy
department recently issued an edition of
Shows Naval Precedence" a standard
work on naval usage in time of peace and
war. In this the doctrine on the use of
an enemy's flag is stated as follows
THE regulations of the United States
navy state that the use of a foreign flag
to deceive an enemy is permissible, but
that it must be hauled down before a
gun is fired. and under no circumstances
is an action 10 be commenced or an en-
