THE PEACE
American and British Delegates Vote
Against Prohibition of Use Of As.
phyxtatfng Gas and Explosive BnI.
lets

The Hague, July 20.-The first COM
mittee of the international peace on
ference met today. M. Van Karnebeck,
representing Holland, submitted amend
ments to the report, emitting the pro-
hibition clause from the first four points
of Count Muravieff's circular, but ex-
pressing the desire that the remaining
three points be made the subject of a
formal convention. A long discussion
followed, after which the committee
unanimously supported the prohibition
of firing explosives from balloons.
The delegates representing the United
States and Great Britain voted together
against the prohibition of the use of
asphyxiating gases and explosive bull
lets. Because unanimity was impos-
sible, Captain Mahan, of the American
delegation, declared that he could not
modify his views and that he would
maintain his previous attitude. The
American delegates explained that they
voted with the British delegation ON the
subject Of expansive bullets because
they did not wish to modify their OBJ
lection to any kind of restriction Upon
the production of war material, Cap
tain Mahan and Sir Julian Pauncefote
finally moved the suppression OF the
clause and proposing a formal conven-
ton upon the other three points of
Count Muravief's circular. This was
agreed to and. the amended report will
be submitted to the full conference to-
morrow, when it win be decided whether
the conclusion OF a convention upon the
three disputed points is possible. A
fresh convention for adapting to naval
warfare the Geneva convention of 1864
will also be submitted to h conference
tomorrow.
