Bonaparte's BoyhoOd.

An enormous library of books, in
various languages, has been published
about the first Napoleon. In this great
mass Of publications, however there
has heretofore been very little on which
any reliance can be placed relating to
his youth. 1t is true there has been
n great quantity OF stories told about
the future emperor, but by far the
greater portion of these stories are pure
inventions by those who either loved
or hated him. and as to what sort of a
boy and youth he was we may be said
10 have known next to nothing.

has admitted nothing of which he has

Washington, April 6.--The most care
full investigation in official circles to-
night failed to develop anything In sup
port Of the theory that the delay of the
Presidents message WIS due TO the sit
uatiun at Madrid, rather than at Ha-
Nana.
When the announcement was hrst
made today that the message had been
withheld. the inference was drawn in
some circles that he delay was partly
influenced by the action of the queen
regent. who was reported as willing to
yield everything demanded by the
United States, providing IL could be
done without preclpltatlng n popular
disturbance in Spain. Press dispatches
of pending cabinet crisis In Madrid
tended to confirm this.
Those closest to the President refused
to discuss the Madrid situation fur
thcr than to say there was no informa-
tion from that quarter. and no fresh
negotiations had been opened.
II is reported the cruX Of situation
was In Havana. This was confirmed by
members of the foreign relations com
mittee to whom this explanation had
been made In such form that they pro-
fessed themselves satisfied to accept it.

articles OF luxury. and raw materials
capable Of being worked into indirect
purposes Of war, such as szil-cloth. tar.
hemp. cordage and all other "arrsa-
mensa navfes" The provision with
regard to articles OF luxury has never
been enforced There has always been
q dispute as to what actually consti-
tuted articles "ancipitis usus." neutral
powers having uniformslly contended
that raw materials were free. while
belIigerents have naturally taken the
view that they should be regarded as
contraband- In 1850. Russia, Sweden.
Denmark, Prussia, Holland. France,
Spain. Portugal. Naples and the United
States. agreed that no articles should
be deemed contraband OF war except
those only which were actually
wrought up into the form OF instru-
ments Of offensive and defensive war
fare. So great has been the change
since that time that coal may now be
logically considered as part OF the nee
essary stores Of war vessel.
These questions constantly arise dur
ing the progress of war, a. they have
considerable bearing upon the liabili-
ties of goods and ships to capture az
legitimate prizes.
