coNTRAnAND OF WAR.

1t Is principle of international law
that while two powers are at war no
neutral power can furnish to either of
the belligerents any merchandise, article
or commodity that is in the nature of
military supplies, or that can be used
directly or indirectly, for the support or
strengthening OF the army OF the COM
blatant receiving tt, or for prolonging
hostilities. Such merchandise, article
or commodity is contraband of war. and
is liable To seizure and confscation
while in transit by the power that
would be injured were the coniiscated
property to rea.sh its destination.
The consequences a such violation of
the international code are penalties
collectible without a great deal of cere-
mony or delay If the owner OF the
contraband articles Is also owner of
the vessel, he forfe.;c the craft as
well as the goods and ell other things
that may be intermixed with them;
this is also the case II the ship bear,
ing the interdicted property has false
papers or Is in any manner seeking
to conceal her destination, and her
owner may lose her il it can be shown
that he knew of or in any manner
consented TO the carriage OF such prop
erty. Ignorance accompanied by
good faith are not much more effectuni
in such eases than in the violations of
law with which we are more familiar,
for while the owner may save his own
property by making out a decidedly
clear case, the goods themselves are
forfeited.
The liability for such carriage begins
from the time the ship leaves port and
continues during the voyage. II,
however. she manages to complete the
trip and reaches her destination with
out being overhauled. no liability at
taches thereafter, no matter what the
character a. degree OF culpability. The
penalties spoken OF are not confined
to cases in which the contraband goods
are carried from u friendly port to one
of the enemy's, but are enforceable In
like manner for the carriage Of such
goods from one hostile point to an
other OF like character; 1t is the trans.
portatlon In the interest OF an enemy.

NATURAL RESOURCES OF CUBA.

Ever since It was first explored the
island OF Cuba has been celebrated as
one Of the choicest portions OF the
whole enr;h's surface. With n lavish
hand nature has there bestowed her
bountles. The climate is tropical but
not necessarily unhealthful II proper
sanitary regulations Were enforced.
The island is long and narrow; its
length following a curved line through
its center is $50 miles. while Its width
! is only so miles, so that n sea breeze
and change the air on the whole island
in a few hours. Its total area Is 43,ai?
square miles, Just about half that Of
Utah.
Coal exists in the island In great
abundance, and is OF a highly bitumln-
Gus character. In some places 1t is
found In a form resembling asphaltum.
and at some points near the coast it
is seen in a semi-liquid state like pc
troleum or naptha. Slate. marble,
Jasper and other building stone of vari-
Gus colors and susceptible of a high
polish, are found in many parts of the
island. Rich copper mines have been
developed, and copperas and alum are
found In large quantities. Forests
cover a great part of the island, and
are so dense over large areas as to be
almost impenetrable. They abound In
woods which sell at high prices In the
markets OF the world. and particularly
in the large cities of Europe and Amer
tea.
The soil and climate make Cuba the
ideal home OF sugar. coffee, tobacco
and rice, and these crops might under
proper political and industrial condi-
uons, be made extremely profitable.
Corn. cocoa and sweet potatoes are also
produced In large quantities. Two
crops of corn are harvested annually.
Next to agriculture the most important
industry. probably. is the manufacture
of cigars. enormous quantities of which
are exported to all parts of the civilized
work..
At the outbreak of the present in
surrection the total population OF the
islands was about 100000. divided be-
tween native Spaniards. native Cubans
of pure Spanish descent. negroes and
persons in whose veins Is mixture
cf Spanish and Indian. Spanish and
negro, or negro and Indian blood all
three races are represented In some
individuals, and the mongrel charac-
ter OF much of the population has been
the chief reason for the hesitancy of
the United States to aid In the achieve
ment OF its independence. OF the ma
tive Inhabitants. excluding those
classed ms Spanish or anti Cuban. it is
said that they are not OF a war-like
temperament. but on the contrary are
naturally mild and patient. They
seem. however, to make remarkably
good guerilla fighters.
Now that their independence is as
sured 1t remains to be seen whether
the Cubans are capable of self-govern-
Inent If they shall make success
OF 1t, there IL no apparent reason why
their country should not develop u
prosperity equal to that of any part
Of the world. for Cuba. under a stable
ard free government, ought to be-

BEGINNING OF mosrlLrrIrs.

Whether any further formnities be
observed pertaining to the mode OF in
forming the powers of the world of the
present status of the relations between
the United States and Spain, war Is
now an actual fact. and the response
bility rests with the latter country.
The refusal of the Spanish govcrn-
ment to receive the ultlmatum of l'res-
ident Mckinley can be regarded In no
other light than the interruption or
friendly relations with this country, by
those in power at Madrid. 1t was an act
by which they assumed the RESPONSE
bility. a twhat is to follow.
SpaiS defrst act of hostility-not to
mention de destruction of the Maine
and the assassination of the American
sailors-appears to have been treach-
erous atthck upon the United States
minister to Madrid. Mr.. Woodford. who
Travelled with passports guaranteeing
him safe passage to the frontier Word
comes that Spanish police attempted to
capture O member OF the legation and
that afterwards an attack was made
upon the train that carried the minister
out of the country. The treacherous
assault was frustrated.
While this little act was performed on
Spanish soil, United States cruiser
captured a Spanish ship or Key West.
The vessel had a cargo of lumber from
Texas, which was confscated. Actual
hostilities have commenced. There Is
now war between the United States and
Spain.
Broadly speaking, 1t Is almost impos-
sible to foresee the final outcome of the
struggle thus commenced, but in all
human probability 1t will be the flnis
Hispanlae, at least as far as this hem
isphere IL concerned. To successful
naval warfare in our age-not only
ships and guns and men of superior
physical and intellectual qualities are
needed, but also coal Without this
article the finest equipped battleship is
waves and the engines Of destruction
OF the enemy.
The announcement OF Great Britain
that coal Ia to be considered contra
band of war is OF immense Importance
in this connection. 1t means that the
British government will see to 1t that
that Indispensable commodity win not
be sold to either of the belllgercnt par
ties, but as a matter OF fact 1t liz Il blow
to Spain which may prove disastrous to
that country. The ships of the United
States are in n position to replenish
their supply along the coast. while
Spain has not n single coaling station
on this side OF the Atlantic whenever
Cuba or Porto Rico shall have been oc-
cupied by our forces. To establish line
Of coaling steamers to carry the neces-
sary fuel over 5000 miles would be an
enormous undertaking. The steamers
would be liable to capture, rendering
the fleet depending on them entirely
helpless. The chances are all against
Spain and 1t is to be hoped that the
people of the peninsula may realize this
fact before long and demand the cessa-
ton of hopeless struggle.

strength in the other counries-is
probably the second choice n all.
The correspondence further states:
Mr.. Babcock's standing in congress,
with the president and with all the
lea ing men in the country is being
realized by the people in this district.
and many Of those. who, for reason Of
local prize, would be willing to super
sede him, hesitate very much at this
critical time to advocate the nomina-
ton Of a new man.
The only charge made against his
record in congress is his vote on the
Pacific railroad refunding bill, and
the parties who attacked the record
on this question are entirely ignorant
Of the merits Of the bill at that time.
Some newspapers and some people
who are urging this against him now
were his strong adherents in the cam
paign of 1896, after he bad cast his
vote in favor Of the refunding scheme.
Those familiar with the refunding bill
know that at the time it was pending
before congress il was question as
to the government ever getting any
thing oUt Of these roads. II the roads
had beenput up at foreclosure sale at
this time the government claim would
have been sacrificed for the reason
that it was only a second mortgage.
The owners Of the Pacific roads pro-
posed to pay the government in in
stallments at a rate of interest equal
to that which the government pays to
individuals and cancel the fun indebt-
edness in this manner Every far
seeing business man in congress voted
for the bill 1t was opposed by the
populists who voted against the bill
for the reason that they desired the
government 10 assume the control Of
the road and run it,
McKinley's election brought about
and such a revival of business that
there was no necessity of reyiying the
refunding bill Capital had renewed
confidence, and when the roads were
offered for sale the full amount of the
government claim was paid in cash
instead of the annual installments.
The ignorance Of the merits Of the
Pacific railroad refunding bill as
shown by the parties who are clamor-
ing against Mr.. Babcock on account
Of his action in the matter, is very
to those familiar with the
bill.
Mr.. Babcock's friends are conduct

No personal abuse of 9TH
er candidates is INDUCED in. They

the intelligence of the district will
demand his return. The campaign
against him on the other hand with
the exception OF one candidate has
been malignant, bitter and without
parallel in the history of Wisconsin
politics, This sort of campaigning is
reacting upon its promoters, and al
ready many leading men who are in
clined to favor change on account
of local candidates are disguised, and
are giving their adherence to Mr. Bah
cock. That he will be renominated
and reelected seems TO be foregone
notwithstanding the Bit
ter and malignant attack that has
