both hemispheres, except the United
States, Spain and Mexico. During
the civil war the United States, loath
to sign away the right of priyateering,
which is considered a formidable weap-
on in the hands of a country like this,
with a weak navy and small ocean
commerce, against power like Great
Britain, for example, with strong
navy and a vast commerce, proposed
nevertheless to become party to the
Declaration of Paris on condition that
its scope be extended to exempt all
private property at sea from capture.
This proposition, however, was not
accepted.
Not being q party to it nor having
formally accepted it, neither the United
States nor Spain is bound to observe
the rules of that declaration. Hence
each, in the event of war, would be
free to send out privateers or public
cruisers against the commerce Of the
other. By the treaty Of 1895, as
amended in 1891, the two nations stip

station under orders to report at Key
West. The Helena reported her ar
rival today at Funchal, on her way
to Join the feet. These and other YES
sells previously ordered to that point
constitute the largest assemblage of
war vessels made since the demonstra-
ton following the Virginius affair, and,
considering effectiveness and arma.
ment, it is the strongest assemblage OF
ships, for other than review purposes,
since the war. The fleet now at Key
West and Tortugas is as follows:
Cruiser New York, battleship Massa-
chusetts, battleship Iowa, battleship
Texas, cruiser Detroit, gunboat Nash
Vile, cruiser Marblehead, dispatch
boat Fern, torpedo boats Dupont,
Gushing, Porter, Winslow and Erics-
son. TO these will soon be added the
five vessels now en-route there. In ad-
dition to these, the Montgomery is at
Havana and is practically a part of
the fleet; the gunboats Wilmington
and Castine and cruiser Cincinnati are
at Barbados, the Newport at Colon,
with the Puritan, Newark, Amphi-
trite and other ships of the North At
lantic squadron at points along the
coast further northward.

The Code of Nations, as Some Diplomats

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
"How is war declared ?" some one
asked a statesman this week. "Usual-
ly by q cannon shot," was the reply.
This country did 60 to war once by
adopting a resolution. Most of the
fighting had begun without legislative
preIiminaries. The civil war opened
with the firing on Fort Sumter. Just
how the war with Spain will begin, if
there is one, cannot be forecast from
anything in the rules of congress. 1t
may be that war with Spain has al
ready started. That will be known
when the court of inquiry on the
Maine reports. If the ship was de-
stroyed by torpedo, that was an act
of war, whether Blanco knew the tor
pedo was to be dragged against the
bow of the ship or not. If only half a
dozen Spanish officers were in the plot
and towed the engine of destrution to
its place, Spain has committed the
overt act Of war just as much as
if gun squad had wheeled one OF
the big guns of Moro Castle into
position and send a shell into the mag
azine of the Maine.
All that the court must do is to re-
port to the president that the Maine
did not blow up, but was blown up.
That will mean war has started. Un-
Gle Sam must get ready to fight. The
chip has been knocked from his should
er. There is nothing for him to DO
but to come back at his enemy. Ii
there is to be any parleying, it must
come from Spain. That country can
offer defence, or explanation, or indem-
nifty, or reparation. If Spain does
nothing after the court reports that
the Maine was blown up, return
blow must be struck by the United
States and as quickly as the ships can
move. Such is the code of nations,
as some of the best diplomats at Wash
ington understand it.

Borderham?" asked Sir Jaffray.
"In the absence Of Lady Walcote !

replied.
"And that?''
ITO take means to find her and to
ask an explanation of this most COM
promising series of condolences.
A long and painfully embarrassing
silence followed, in which all four sat
thinking closely.
At the end Sir Jaffray rose and
pushed back his chair and in a voice
broken with emotion he said:
"You had better do so, inspector, let
the consequences be what they may.
The truth must come out God help
herp'
Then another silence as painful as the
former followed.
In the midst Of it a commotion was
heard in the large hall outside, and the
door of the room was hurriedly opened.
"Her ladyship, Sir Jaffrayl' said the
servant, and Lola, looking very pale
and worn, but very determined. came
in.
Sir Jaffray sprang toward her with a
cry of pleasure and gladness.
"Waitl" she said, stopping and draw
ing back from his outstretched arms
"First let the whole truth be told

ulate that "free ships make free goods, y
which is one of the rules of the Paris
declaration but this was evidently
intended to apply when either Spain
or the United States should be at wal
with another nation, and in case oi
hostilities between themselves.
The law of nations, where not mod
fled by the Declaration Of Paris or by
treaty, has been that an enemy's goods
found on board a neutral ship are LA
BILE to capture. While this principle
has been affirmed by the courts of the
United States, the government has al
ways looked favorably upon the policy
that all private property at sea in time
of war, except contraband, should be
exempt from molestation.

and are immensely more wealthy.
These states could borrow enough
money, with their whole field of COM
modities, men, and capital behind the
loan, to pay off at one coup the whole
national debt of Spain. They could
raise, pay, and maintain bigger army
than Spain could. Their natural re-
sources could outlast Spain's ten to
one. Their steam power is infinitely
greater, and as man power can always
be gauged by steam power, we can i'm
agine the difference. These four states
could exist if they sequestrated from
all the rest Of the world. Spain could
hardly live day.

ing excepted in both cases. That is to
say, no vessel flying neutral flag nor
her cargo, though it be goods of the
enemy-unless contraband-is liable to
capture, nor any neutral goods under
hostile flag be seized.
These rules are binding on the pow
ers which have signed, and all that
have formally accepted the Declara-
ton of Paris. This list now includes

OLD SPANS WEAKNESS.

Probably but few people realize the
inherent weakness Of the kingdom
across the sea which talks such great
things and threatens humiliation, II
not annihilation, to the American
States. In view of this fact, says the
Newport News, it may be interesting
to know that the total population o1
Spain, as stated in official figures, is
but II ,565,632 Many people, without
looking up the matter, would say at q
guess that Spain's population was 35-,
100000 or 4O,OOO,OOO. But it is in
reality not 100000.

COMMERCE IN WAR TINES.
International Law of Ocean Trade During
Hostilities.

Hostilities.
A declaration of war or the begin
ming of hostilties without formal de-
claration, says the New York Herald
changes the international legal status
of every civilized nation.
The two hostile powers become bel
ligerents and all others neutrals. To
the former are conceded rights, and on
the latter develop obligations which
do not exist in time of peace.
On the ocean commerce is subject
to the international law of war. OI
course all direct trade between the bel
ligerents is broken off but neutral yes
sels-in the absence of blockade
NAV continue in commerce with either
or both of the belligerents, but under
restrictions imposed by the law of ma
tions. They may not, for example
carry to either any contraband arti'
cles, such as arms, munitions OF war
etc.
Each belligerent has the right tc
CAPTURE all merchant vessels under the
flag of the enemy on high seas and all
goods of the enemy in such vessels
Each has right to capture all contra
band articles destined for the other in
a neutral vessel. This right carries
with it the right of search. Hence
every neutral vessel on the high seas
in time of war is liable to be stopped
and searched by an armed cruiser o.
either belligerent. AS rule the right
is exercised only in suspicious cases
where there is reason to believe Of
suspect that contraband is being car
ried.
There has been much diversity o.
opinion as to the right policy of bellig
crent interference with ocean com
merce, not contraband, among neutral
nations or between them and either
belligerents. After the Crimean war
in 1856, a code of rules on this subject
known as the Declaration of Paris, was
agreed upon by six of the powers o.
Europe. This provides, first, for the
abolition of privateering; second, thai
"the neutral flag covers enemy's
goods" and, third, that "neutral goods
are not liable to capture under the

I'VE have been told that it will be inn

20 their families in the United States. The

1t is understood that there will be keen
competition between the proprietors of the

freight through to the lakes, and it is prob
able that there will be sharp competition,
which may lead to reduction in rates.
