OCEAN CABLES IN WAR TIME.
ralk of Establishing Their Neutral.
ity Which Has Never Been
Acted Upon.

During the late war the Americans
cut the cable connecting Manila with
Hong-Kong, and the French cable in
Cuban waters off the port of Caimanera
This was at once denounced, by the
French press especially, as unwarrant-
ed by the law of nations, and as being a
positive violation of the rules of mod
ern warfare. The charge is absolutely
groundless. A belligerent certainly
cannot be denied the right to prevent
his enemy from communicating with
the outside world. The suggestion has
been often made that ocean cables
should not be interfered with in time
of war, but should be neutralized by
agreement of the nations. President
Buchanan made such suggestion as
early as 1858, when the first Atlantic
cable was laid. In his reply to Queen
Victoria's message of goodwill Mr..
buchanan said: ''Will not all nations
of Christendom spontaneously unite in
the declaration that it 1.-THE cable) shall
be forever neutral, and that it's COM
munications shall be held sacred in
passing to their places of destination,
even in the midst of hostilities?' But
this agreement, which Mr.. Buchanan
40 years ago supposed the nations
would SO spontaneously enter into,
does not yet exist.
The war with Spain is the first war,
so far as the writer is aware. in which
belligerent has found it necessary to
cut an ocean cable. That the cables
were likely to be so interfered with ap-
peared probable at the very outbreak of
hostilities. Mr.. Balfour was questioned
on the subject in the British house of
commons as early as April 20, the day
after the United States declared war
He replied that he was not prepared to
deny that belligerents, on the ground
of military exigencies, would be justi-
fed in interfering with the cables. A
few days later, on May 2, Dewey had
cut the Manila cable.
The nations have convention for the
protection of submarine cables, which
was entered into in Paris in 1854, and
ratified and proclaimed in 1885. The
United States and Spain are among the
signatory powers. That convention,
however, simply provides protection
for cables in time of peace. In article
Is it is expressly stated that: 1T is
understood that the stipulations of this
convention shall in no wise affect the
liberty of action of belligerents." But
it is interesting in this connection to
recall that in 1869 the United States
proposed the neutrality of cables in
time of war, and called conference to
meet at Washington. But before the
conference could be held the Franco
Prussian war occurred, and the meet
ing had to be abandoned. The Italian
government subsequently sounded the
powers, and it was found that it would
be impossible to secure their assent to
naturalization. In 1864 an attempt was
made to lay an Atlantic cable, and at
that time France, Italy, Portugal and
one or two other states actually entered
into an agreement for it's protection in
war as well as peace. The effort to lay
that cable failed; with the failure the
treaty lapsed.-Forum.

MERE COJNCJl,ENCE
Mysterious Incidents I'm Life for
which 1t Seems Hard to
Account.

A large number of so-called nysteri-
Gus incidents in life, supposed &c be due
to telepathic agencies, or to the intiu-
enoe exe-teo by one person upon an
other at great distance, might be ra-
tionally explained on the theory of CO.
medicines. Given a number of such IL
Illustrations of alleged telepathic nature,
the probabilities of their having oc-
CURED as condolences are less difficult
to understand than If we relegated
them to the theory of telepathic agen-
cies.
Condolences of very remarkable
kind occur in ordinary life, and often
pass quite unnoticed, and this, even
while they present, in their way. quite
as wonderful circumstances as the al
legged telepathic experiences. In med
ical practice such condolences, purely
chance affairs, of course, are not I'M
common. A doctor tells OF such events,
for instance, as those of two sailors
tumbling from the masts of two differ
ent passing vessels in one day; and for
years not even solitary casualty of
this kind might occur.
Cases of extremely rare diseases will
be presented at hospitals in one and
the same day. Lately there was chron-
icled in one of the medical journals such
an incident, which shows undeniably
now an extremely unlikely coincidence
rails within what was an easy possibil-
fly OF occurrence. More recently a med
ical practitioner has placed his expert
ences on record, by way of showing that
even in private practice, and apart from
the greater chances of condolences &C.
curing in hospital work there are
numerous examples of the unlikely
coming true. Two cases of similar in
jury to the shoulder thus occurred pre-
cisely at the same time, the patients be-
ing in no way connected with one an
other. The injury In each case was a
dislocation; It affected the same shout
der in each patient, and it presented pre-
cisely the same variety of dislocation in
the TWO. Now we do not assume any
mystic telepathic communication be-
tween cases such as these, and it is hard
to see why In other instances, involving
what are perhaps more esoteric details,
the coincidence theory should not
equally apply. Is 1: not, after all. mere
IL the difference between mundane
things and things of the mind, that
causes US to assume a mystery in one
case and mere coincidence in the other d?

kind. but only one OF degree-Chicago

The don, followed by the others,

Dutch coat belted about the waist and
extending to the tops of pair of rough

smeared with dirt, and under his arm
he carried an old basket.
The ladies were attired in a some

skirts she haG. of course, discarded),
and the rest of her visible dress con-
sisted of an old cap with side flaps and
4 curly wig. The wig was tucked chief
~ under the cap, and at a glance might
well pass for her proper hair. She had
bedaubed her face and hands and car
ried a fishers spear. AS for poor Dona
Carmen, 1 observed that she had put
on kind of mixed garb, consisting of
a high straw hat, blue jacket, long
knit vest, coarse hose and well-worn
jackboots. She had smutted her face
and hands, and carried over her shout

weight of which made her stoop lit
