The Bagatelles Of the Door.

Spain. in accepting our declaration OF
war with what Don BOmbastes Sagasta
characterized as silent scOrn has inti-
mated that those ships of hers which
previously passed in the night under
armed escort to Tampa and Key West
were illegally captured. IL is a rule Of
equity that the plaintiff must enter the
court with clean hands. Spain has
not always bothered with the
bagatelles OF the door. The sailing OF
her invincible If vanquished Armada
was not preceded by any formal notice,
nor was her attack on the United Pro-
vinces In days gone by self-respecting
nations we're more punctllous. The
Romans declared war by throwing a
bloody lance into the territory Of the
enemy-unless the territory happened 10
thrown in It's direction. Yet even in that
event formal notice was served through
an ambassador. In the Middle Ages, also
there was a very knightly aD-
horreuce Of anything precipitate
Announcement was made by her.
aids in advance. In modern times
the practice has been largely abro-
gated. To-day authorities on interna-
ton law are agreed that a withdrawal
or dismissal Of representatives sufiices.
In the present instance war was actually
created by Act OF Congress. Nothing
more was necessary, and IN delivering

showed her entire recognition Of the fact.
