the blockading powers all that time con-
tinuing TO insist that peace continued. In
1850 Great Britain blockaded Greece TO
compel reparation for certain offenses,
but no war resulted. In 1860 Victor EN-
manuel, then king of Piedmont joined to-
revolutionary government of Naples i'm
blockading Sicily without any war result
ing. In 1862 Great Britain blockaded Rio
Janeiro, the while declaring that she was
animated by the most friendly sentiments
toward that country. In 1879 Bolivia was
blockaded by Chile for three months be-
fore war was declared or even begun. In
1883 France blockaded Siam, quickly fol-
lowing II with war.
Pacific Pressure Disregarded.
Yet. despite all these instances, the
weight of authority Is that while block
ade when effectual, viii be respected as
war measure, il may be disregarded by
neutral nations when instituted as part
of a pacific pressure. The declaration of
Paris. of which we have heard so much
in connection with prvateering forbids
all pacific blockades. Thus IL seems that
a blockade of Cuban ports instituted by
the United States would be binding only
on the United States and Spain. and might
be disregarded by other powers. AS there
before ships from other countries could
reach Cuba this blockade would be trans
formed into n war measure, the question
is not so important as II seems. merely

PRECEDENTs UPON BLOCKADEs.
Discussion on Questions Involved In the
Move on Havana.

The proposition that Commodore samp-
son should establish a peaceable blockade
of Havana has given rise to much discus
sion of this curious semi-war demand to-
night Pacific blockades are peculiar in
stitutions-so peculiar that most authori-
ties on international law declare that they
do not really exist, and maintain this In
the face OF numerous presidents to the
contrary. The last instance i'm which one
was enforced was only about year ago,
when the European powers Practically
blockaded the islands Of Crete. 1t was
inaugurated March 20 by proclamations
made by the six powers, which declared
''ships of the six powers or neutral powers
may enter into the ports occupied by the
powers and land their merchandise. but
only If IL is not for the Greek troops or
the interior of the islands. These ships
may be visited by the ships of the inter-
national fleets"
