The Law of Blockade.

There are complexities in the law Of
blockade, but its essentials are simple
enough.
A blockade must be proclaimed so
that ships of all rationalities may be
notified Of its existence.
Ships already at sea when proclama-
ton is made must upon arrest be mott
fed and permitted to depart for some
other than the blockaded port. Until
such notice the ship is not liable to cap
ture.
Ships so notified and all ships sailing
after proclamation of blockade has been
made are liable to capture upon at.
tempting to pass the blockade.
In case OF capture they and their car
goes are confiscate, but neither their Of
ficers nor seamen, if the ship carries a
neutral flag, are subject to any other
penalty. They are guilty of no crime.
No neutral nation is bound to respect
any blockade till it has been made eff
fectlve. 1t it is not so, neutrals resent
and resist the seizure of their ships at
tempting to trade with paper" block
AIDED ports.
Ships of the enemy are subject to cap
ture anywhere at sea, without reference
to the ports from or to which they are
going. Neutral ships are subject to cap
ture only when trying to break the
blockade.

MODERN RATTLESHlP.
Electrician Dahlinan Says It IL a Regula
Bundle of Electric Nerves,

ELECTRICIAN Dahlman Says 1t Is q Regular
Bundie of Electric Nerves.
1.-THE modern battleship," said Mr..
W. +. Dahlman, we'll known New
York electrician, in Washington the
other day. lis a regular bundle of elec-
trio nerves, through which circulates
the current performing various Offices
for the comfort, safety and convenience
OF the crew. 1t lights the ship in every
part; it brings up ammunition from
the magazines; it helps to load the
guns, and when they are loaded it fires
them. 1t aids in steering the ship; by
its agency the officer ON the bridge d.
reefs the engineers and the man at the
wheel; it sends torpedoes on their dead
~ errands. and it furnishes the power
for the great searchlights by which sig
nails are sent at night and by which the
sea is patrolled.
"Our war with Spain will be largely
war of electrical machinery, and one
Of our great advantages lies in the fact
that we are nation of machinists, our
speciality being in the domain of cleo
tricity. In that we excel the rest of the
world, and our mastery of the subtle
force will be one Of the greatest factors
in the struggle that will end in the hu-
initiating defeat of the Spanish nation. +"

THE SPLIT lNFINITIvE.
C. Bernard Shaw Says tho Cla,nor Abort
It Is All Nonsense.
In q letter to the editor of the Lon


In letter to the editor of the London
| Chronicle G.. Bernard Shaw writes:
shculd have thought, now that we
have an academy Of letters, that it might
rescue us from the gentlemen who coca
| sional,y write to you to explain how
English should be written. Some time
ago you let loose an unhappy creature
| to whom some competent person had
inoautiously pointed cut a common
| blunder in TIE use of land which"
Net understanding the matter, he began
accusing evsry writer in whose works
he could discover land which" of
writing bad English. With your per-
mission, have extinguisbed him, and
he las not since been heard of. There
was some excuse fer that poor wretch,
| because there unquestionable is wrong
way of using "and which" but for the
"split infnitiye" pes: there is no excuse
at all. There is nothing whatever to
mislead him except his own nature If
any nan wcrc to object to split indie
alive such as ~ greatly regret" or
split subjunctive such as II should
greatly prefer" or split imperative
such as "coms slowly ap," what news
paper would waste an inch of space on
his foolish ignorance? And yet this split
infnitive nonsense is taken quite sezi-
ously by editors who are sufficiently
good writers to repeatedly use it them
| selves.
The infinitive is mood in which the
position of the adverb cannot possibly
produce ambiguity; consequently the
| order of the words is not a matter of
grammar, but of style, Of which the ear
is the only arbiter. The ear often de-
mands the split infinitive and will have
it in spite of all the silly people who dc
not know what style means.
When these infinite insects are dis
! posed of, you will no doubt be attacked
| in due course by the even more impu-
dent impostors who, though they pro-
| nounce the word "color" SO as to rhyme
with "duller," and never hear it and
never have heard it and never will hear
it pronounced in any ether way, from
time to time pretend to be shocked
when it is spelt without Gu" l trust
you will always insist on these nui-
sances definitely stating whether they
pronounce it or "honor" or "neighbor"
or favor or behavior" so as to
rhyme with "our" or poor" as the
case may be, or whether they are merely
bogus Notwithstanding belated
Johnsons.
In either case you will be justified in
recommending them to the care Of their
relatives and suppressing their bab-
hlinos

Old Alb Drake.

Old Alb Drake was one Of the "odd
sticks" that fiourished in a Vermont
rural neighborhood good many years
ago. His wife was meek, obedient,
spiritless woman, over whom Alb tyran-
nized for 80 years, when she quietly
slipped out of this world. Old Abs
panegyrics on his dead wife's virtues
were loud and long. Before the funeral
he said to one of his neighDors: "She

Madrid, May 4-The censorship of
