EXPLANATION
Of the Action of Great Britain De-
claring Coal ContrabaRd of War.
Spanish Ships Could Get Enough to
Take Them to h. Next Port.

Washington, April 1.-THE action
nj Great Britain in declaring coal to
hs a eontraband Of war. as reported
rom Jamaica, is said to have a signifi-
.aneo different from that attached to
if tn the dispatches AS explained in
bieh diplomatic quarter, such an
srder would not prevent a vessel Of
either Spain or the United States from
raking ccal at Kingston or any other
aorf in the West Indies. Even when
rs.s article is contraband, it is said
to be usual to permit a vessel of a
hflligerent power TO take aboard suffi-
Gent coal to carry her to the next
port Once cut Of the port, however,
rds vessel takes her chances with her
c5ntlaband cargo, and it is liable TO
seizure as contraband of war while
en- route to a port OF the belligerent
mower. Applying this rule to the pres
enl case, it is said that if a Spanish
shin went to Kingston for coal she
would be able to carry a supply suffi-
cient to carry her to Porto Rico or
Cuba. When once away from Kings
ion. however, the vessel and her cargo
would be subject to seizure by United
States ships. The rule. it is said,
would apply in case a ship of Great
Britain or any other country was en-
gsged in carrying such contraband ar
ticle. The flag would protect the sL~-o
as a whole. but it would not protect
ghe contraband article On board, the
ship being subject 10 search and to
seizure Of the contraband article. The
rule would apply equally, it is said, to
ships taking coal in Kingston for the
use of United States war vessels. IN
effect. however. the rule would be ap-
picable mainly to Spain, as the United
States naval vessels need not look to
The British West Indies for their coal
supplies, whereas Spanish vessels
would rely upon this as well as other
West Indian ports for such supplies.

How Gun Crew Kept Awake Looking for
the spanisrds.
Electrical Review.
1T was constant round of drills
and pickett duty on our ship at Dry
Tortusas after the Maine was blown
up, said q recently returned naval Of
ficer 70 an Electrical Review man.
I'VE We're ~ miles at sea, with no
source Of news, and we didn't know
when Spanish feet would heave in
sight. We all worked harder than ever,
chiefly to keep our minds occupied. My
division included what | considered the
crack gun crew of the ship and the
way those boys handled the rapid-fring
guns was something delightful.
After a week or two Of this unusual
drill which developed proficiency
truly amazing, | noticed that my pet
gun crew became listless and triie
slow in their work They seemed to
lack heart. Sharp words and repri-
nauds only served TO stir them up
temporarily. ! was at a loss to ac-
count for this change, and set out to
discover the reason. / called up an Old
gunners mate and asked him what he
thought was the case.
Don't know, sir. The boys are all
right, sir-only / guess they don't sleep
very well, sir.
More puzzled than ever, I resolved
to keep my eyes open. Jackie is
queer bird at times The next night
was officer of the deck and had the
mid watch. Along about two bells
thought | heard voices forward, and
went to Investigate. There was
that whole blessed gun crew
slowed away as comfortably as
possible on the deck, look
ing out to sea. Some We're lying down
with their eyes glued on the water, 9th
ers had their elbows On the guard
rails with their chins on their arms,
looking out over the waves.
Il went aft and sent for one. Of my
men and asked him why he wasn't in
his hammock where he belonged.
well. sir we amt a-goin to be
caught asleep down below in our ham
mocks like those Maine boys, sir. We
owe the Spanish something for that
and something for ourselves. We are
all tryin' TO be first to sight Spaniard,
sir. SO we're watchin'-that's all, sir
Here was the explanation Of my gun
crews Iistless performance. They were
working as hard as men could work
and getting little or no sleep. 1t wasn't
fear that kept them awake-not by a
long shot. 1t was simply the desire to
he the first to sight Spanish ship and
the hope of getting the first shot at her.
The suspense of inaction was what
worried the boys.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT


Commission.
Washington, April 17.-Hon. Theo-
dore Roosevelt probably will resign his
office as Assistant Secretary of the
Navy in case Of hostilities with Spain
and accept commission for active SER
vices in the army. Nothing definite
has vet been decided upon as to what
assignment he will accept, but it is be-
lieyed that he would prefer to serve
with the New York State troops. From
the beginning of the present difficulties
with Spain Mr.. Roosevelt has been
prominent among those who believe
that war is the only solution of the
problem, and since the disaster to the
Maine his advice to the President and
the members of the Cabinet has uni
formly been for immediate action
against the Spaniards with the full
power of the army and navy He has
never doubted that the Spaniards were
responsible for the wreck of the Maine
and believes that that act fully justifies
an immediate declaration of war.
