II is not necessary that an effective"
blockade should be maintained along
the entire coast of an enemy's country.
TO give belligerent the right of
SEIZURE. The belligerent may designate
one or more ports against which block
ade is to be maintained. Probably the
best definition of an effective" block
ade is that contained in the Declaration
OF Paris to which all the civilized ma
ions formally assented, except Spain
ana the United States. The fourth
article OF the declaration says that
DiockadeS, in order to be binding. must
be effective; that is to say, maintained
by a force sufficient really to prevent
access to the coast of an enemy The
United States, Notwithstanding her
failure to assent to all the principles
enunciated in the Declaration of Paris
has accepted this definition. One of the
American authorities upon internation-
al law says that the belligerent who
declares a blockade must place a
sufficient force at the blockade points
TO make nm master of them. The
same authority holds that a force
sufficient to make the passage to or
from the closed port extremely dan
gerous" is all that is necessary. The
mere attempt to run such a blockade
subjects the vessel and cargo to the
penalty and seizure and condemnation.
The authorities have much to say re-
garding the necessity of giving notice 10
neutrals that a blockade has been or is
about to be established at any port.
The belligerent resorting to this method
of stopping the commerce of the enemy
must issue a public proclamation fixing
the date upon which the blockade is TO
take effect.
This proclamation must be issued a
reasonable time before the blockade is
established. 1t is the safer practice
under the law of nations to warn away
vessels approaching the blockaded port
although the public proclamation has
been given. This practice has been fol-
lowed by the United States, as appears
by the proclamation issued by Mr..
Lincoln, April ~, 1861.
Mr.. Lincoln's proclamation an
nounced that a competent naval force
would be posted SO as to prevent YES
sells from entering or departing from,
the seeded Southern ports, and if With
view to violate such blockade any
vessel should attempt to leave any of
the said ports it should be duly
warned by the commander Of one of
the blockadng vessels. who was re
quired to indorse on the register of the
offending ship the fact and date Of such
warning. If the same vessel should
again attempt to enter or leave the
blockaded port she would he captured
and sent To the nearest convenient port
for such proceeding against her and her
cargo as might be deemed advisable.
This is the great American precedent
as To official notice respecting the es-
tabliahment of blockade. The block
aiding OF the Confederate ports played
an exceedingly important role in the
suppression of the Rebellion by pre-
venting the augmentation of southern
resources from foreign countries.

WHAT A BLOCKADE IS.
The Bearing Of the Declaration OF Paris
Upon II.

The Southern ports felt the incon-
venience of effective blockade during
the Civil War. and it is possible, in the
war with Spain. that an attempt VIII
be made to blockade important sea-
ports Of the United States. Distance
from her base of operations Will, how
ever. make it extremely difficult, If not
impossible for Spain to maintain what
is known in international law as an
"effectiVe' blockade. Mess it De
effective in the legal international
sense. neutral commerce is not bound
to respect it. once established block
AIDE can be terminated only in two ways
by voluntary reiinq uiShment by the
bellieerent that tried to establish it, Or
bv the raising OF the blockade by the
enemy. Neutral vessels are subject to
scare h by either "bellgerent' for con
traband of war" for articles manu-
featured and primarily on ordinarily
used for military purpC SEES in time ot
war. and destined for the use of the
hostile nation in war. Contraband ar
ticles are subject to capture on the
high seas if thus destined for the use of
the enemy in his military preparations;
but by an 'effective'' blockade a bel
Ugerent may not only prohibit the en-
try Of contra band" but of all articles
of commerce found in amy vessel,
neutral or otherwise. The penalty for
running Il blockade is forfeiture Of the
vessel and its cargo. says the Philadei-
mia Public Ledger.
