Washington, May To-
100 p. m.-No news of
Importance has arrived, al.
though a battle with Sam
pson and the Spanish fleet
is hourly expected. Hard
to get news.
1:3o p. MAS we go to
press we learn by wire that
the Oregon has just sunk
three Spanish warship. No
particulars. The report is
not confirmed at this hour.
1t is also reported that in
the engagement our dyna-
mite cruiser Buffalo, was
sunk.
Washington, May lS.--Prcsit!cnt Nc.
Kinlcy is very tired of criticisms from
tho war board and has taken matters
into his own hands. He proposes here
after to be commander.in-c chief himself;
putting aside these little jealousies and
chickering's that exist among tho fore.
most officers Of both the army and navy.
Tho Oregon has safely arrived in Am
erican waters and has joircd Sampson g

Secretary Long has issued strict or
ders to keep all war news secret. No
news is given the press for publication
Hereafter We will hear it after it has oc-
Cured, but not before. Mckinley thinks
this idea best.

STATUS OF SUBMARINE CABLES.
In War Time They Are Not Protected by
Conventional Guaranty.
(Philadelphia Record. J

" ~NSARA1A" AACSOlO
The status of submarine cables in time
OF war is still very uncertain. BY the
international conference held at Paris on
March IA, 1884, at which practically all
the maritime Powers of the world, inclu-
ding Spain and the United States, were
represented, treaty was agreed to ma
king the wanton destruction of submarine
Geographic cables or injury of the same
by culpable negligence criminally punish
able; and other regulations for their pro-
lection were made. Laws were subse-
quently passed by the legislative Powers
of all of the high contracting parties to
carry the provisions of the convention
into effect The delegates to the confer.
ence from Great Britain and Belgium,
however, declared their understanding
of the agreement to be that in time of
war a belligerent signatory should be as
free to act in regard to submarine cables
as though the convention did not exist
and the agreement was subscribed with
the tacit assent of all parties to this llmi-
ia tion of it's effect.
International cables, therefore, are not
protected in time Of war by any conyen-
tional guaranty. Their only safeguard
against destruction by belligerent Pow.
or is the common law of nations. There
to their case, but it was declared at the
Meeting in London of the Institute of In
ternational Law in 1879 that sit is desir-
able that when Geographic communica-
lions must cease, as the result of state
OF war, the steps taken 'must I've linn
tied to measures strictly necessary to pre-
vent the use of the cable, andssthat an end
should be put to these measures and that
the consequence should be repaired as
soon as the cessation of hostilities per-
mit;" and that "a submarine Geographic
cable which united two neutral govern
ments is inviolable. This seems to be a
reasonable view of the matter. and it
should commend itself to all civilized
Powers unhappily ngaged in war. 1t
has been argued, furthermore, that in
most cases the closing of a cable terminus
W thin the actual jurisdiction of the bel
ligerent would satisfy the belligerent
right-if it is to be admitted as right
and that the destruction of cables even
between enemies countries would, there
fore, not be justifable as a war measure.
Advanced publicists have even insisted
that belligerent has no right over ca
BILE connecting the territory of his adver-
sary with neutral territory, except in case
of blockade. To what extent the princi-
pies above advocated would be respected
by war making Power is extremely
uncertain; and the necessity of cutting
off an enemy's means of communication
might be appealed to in justification even
of the destruction of q cable between
neutral territories. The only really
effective safeguard would be the ABSOLUTE
naturalization of ocean cables, but that
is a.principle to the strict observation of
which few Powers would care to bind
themselves.
