IT WAS NOT TOO LATE.
A story of European Diplomacy am
Our Civil War.

The Outlook gives an irtere"tic;
story of the Spanish a0aliulstra;.ll
when, during our civil war, the Emper'@
Napoleon formed the ingenious plan 81
uniting European nations in a chance
of the international law gove"nin (
blockades. The admiralty law of the
world at present extends the %jnrisdic-
tiCn of any nation for one marine leagnc
from its shores. If, therefore, any block
ade runner could get witt. II three n!i!"s
Of Jamaica, Cuba or P~rto Rico, he
was safe from any interference from
our hloclsaG;ng fleet,
Napoleon proposed that, instead Of
one league, the limit of local sovereignty
should be extended to three leagues
from shore, and he persuaded the Span,
ish minister to come iuto his plan.
Such an extension of neutral limits
would have greatly hindered TIE opera
tions Of our b%lockaling fleets. All the
negotiations were conducted with great
secrecy, but orders were sent from
Spain to the West Indies, instrncting
authorities there to exterd threefold the
range of their dominion over the sea
These orders had already gone when
Horatio Perry, the American secretary
of legation, got wind of the treachery
of u ally.
Mr.. Perry told his wife, She told the
Duchess of Montpensier, who hated
Louis Napoleon, and the duchess told
her sister, the Spanish queen, Then the
queen sent for Mr.. Perry and asked
