GOVERNMENTS TITLE GOOD.
Secy. Long to he Directed to Report
to Congress Upon the Blythe
Island Property.

Washington, Feb. S-The first steps
have been taken toward the development
of the Blythe Island property into a nav
al training station, according to the wish
es and plans of Admiral Crowninshield
and the Secretary of the Navy, adopted
at the suggestion of Representative Brant-
ley.
In the naval appropriation bill the Sen
ate has placed an item authorizing the
Secretary Of the Navy to report to the
next Congress as to the condition and ex-
tent of any government property at
Blythe Island, Georgia.; whether the title
to the same is good, and whether it is
adapted to the necessary wants of the
department.
This paragraph was adopted by the
Naval Committee in lieu of the amend
meut suggested by Senator Bacon, which
provided for an appropriation of $4,000.
1t, however accornplishes the end, which
is to start the work going. The Navy
Department has the necessary money and
facilities for making these preliminary in
quiries and the work of development VIII
undoubtedly be expedited by these prelim-
mary investigations.
Inquiry at the Bureau of Yards and
Docks of the Navy Department shows
that the deeds to the property made In
1857 is on file there, and there is no ques-
tion about the title; nor do the naval au-
thorities believe there is any possible
question about the availability of the
property for this particular purpose,

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Britain to Cause Delay by Counter

London, Feb. Sit mas been learned by

United States Nicaragua canal project 1t
will not comply with the Senate's de-
mands. Neither will it be in the nature
of a fiat refusal, though for purposes of
immediate construction, it will be tanta-
mount to such a refusal. 1t will consist,
mainly, in a counter proposal or propos-
ais, likely to necessitate extended negotia-
tions. The nature of the proposal is not
yet ascertaina'ble. Lord Pauncefote will
probably be the medium through whom
the answer will be sent and by whom the
subsequent negotiations will chiefly be
conducted. In the British official opinion
it is likely that several months will elapse
before the matter reaches a conclusion,
by which time the y-Pauncefote treaty
will have lapsed, on the basis of the Sen
ate's amendments.
The British counter proposals are now
formulating, and it is hoped an entirely
new agreement, satisfactory to both coun-
tries, will eventually be reached.

War VIII BE Enforced.


War VIII BE Enforced.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
Manila, Jan. 27.-The following is the
text of Gen. MacArthurs proclamation
to the Filipinos:
Manila, p. T., Dec. 90 1900
Proclamation.
I'm the armed struggle against the SOW
ereign power of the United States now in
progress in these islands, frequent viola
tions Of important provisions Of the laws
of war have recently manifested them
selves. rendering 1t imperative, and while
rejecting every consideration of belliger-
ency of those opposing the government In
the sense in which the term belligerency
is generally accepted and understood, to
remind all concerned of the existence OF
these laws, that exemplary punishments
attach to the infringement thereof, and
that their strict observance is required,
not only by combatant forces, but as well
by non-combatants, native or alien, resid-
ing within occupied places"
The following provisions of the laws of
war most essential for consideration un-
der present conditions, are clteu anu
comments thereon as follows:
"First-The commanding general owes
protection to all people residing within
the places occupied-who perform with
fidelity the duties imposed upon them,
from which consideration results the OBJ
Hgation upon such people of strict obedi-
ence to the commanding general. Many
proclamatiOns, recently issued by insurg-
ent commanders, threaten punishment
against all native Inhabitants of occupied
places, who accept these reciprocal rela-
tions and mandates Of insurgent officers
to kidnap and assassinate residents OF
occupied towns, have been successfully
executed All engaged in such transact
tions are, collectively and individually,
guilty of violation OF the laws of war,
and must sooner or later, be tried for
felonious crimes, with all the attending
possibilities OF conviction; or, as an only
means of escape therefrom. must become
fugitive criminals beyond the jurisdiction
OF the United States which, I'm effect,
means lifelong expatriation.
Second. To comply with demands OF
an expelled public enemy, and make no
report thereof, creates the presumption
that the oct IS voluntary and malicious.
In such a case a plea Of intimidation can
rarely be accepted. when. however, as 10
known 10 be the case In many places oc-
cupied by United States troops, secret
committees for the so-ealled insurgent
government for collecting supplies, re-
cruiting men and sending military lhfor-

Criticism of Gen. Otis Given Out

Minister WI in declining to attend the
Society of the Genesee banquet in New
York last night owing to the fact that
Gen. Otis was the guest of honor, is not
expected to be brought to the attention
of the state department.
The opinion prevails in official circles
that some one has been guilty of an err
ror of judgment in this matter, but there
is a division of opinion as to where the
blame lies, with the writer of the letter,
or with the persons who gave it out for
publication. The minister stated to-day
that he did not expect his letter to be-
come public property.
