COAL CoNTHAp,ND OF WAR.
But the Rule Has Limitations aud viii Tie
Up No ship.

Washington. April 1S-The action os
Great Britain In declaring coal to b. a
con,raband of war. as reported from
Jamaicc. Is said to have a significance
different from that attached TO it in the
DISPATCHES. As explained in n high dip
loratic quarter such an order would
not prevent n vessel of either Spain or
TIE United States from taking coal at
Kingston or any port in the West Ir-
dies. Nor would ii prevent a vessel Of q
bclligerent power taking aboard suffi-
Gent coal TO carry her to the next port
Once out Of the port. however. the yes
sci takes her own chances with her
cortraband cargo. and ii Is liable to
seizure as cCntraIand 81 war while en-
route to port OF the bC.ligei ent power.
Applying this rule TO the present case
II y said that IL a Spanish shin went 10
Kingston for coal she would he able 20
obtain supply sufficient t. carry her
to Porto Rico or Cuba. When once
away from Kingston. however. the ves-
sci and her cargo would be subject TO
seizure by United States shirs. The
same rule.it Is said. would apply in case
n ship Of Great Britain or any other
country was ENGAGED In carrying con-
trabdnd articles. The flag would rro-
tcct the ship as whole. but II would
not protect the contraband articles on
