that by waving their banners and

peculiar motions with their hands the
bullets from our guns could not harm
them. They would not run away. 1

Washington. July 9.-The position OF
the British government relative TO the
various mining. railroad and other con
cessions i'm the Transvaal is fully dis
closed i'm a blue book covering this
subject which has just reached Wash
ington. The subject is of the very
first importance to the state and war
departments as some of the most trOu-
blesOme and weighty problems now
confronting them arise from claims Of
various concessionaries I'm the Philip
pines. Porto Rico and Cuba. Claims
of vast amounts based on telegraph
and railroad franchises granted 10y the
Spanish government prior to the Span
iSh-American war have been made,
and Great Britain'S coTrse may estab-
liSh n valuable precedent. Moreover,
the most important of the concessions
in our inSTlar possessions and in Cuba
are claimed by English corporations.
One interesting statement in the be-
ginning is this: ION the first of Sep
tember. 1900. her late majesty annexed
the territories and obliterated the SOW
ereignty of the South African rPpub-
lie II Is clear that n state which has
annexed another is not legally bound
by any contracts made 10y the state
which has ceased Ia exist. and that no
court of law has jurisdiction TO enforce
such contracts if the auneXing state
refuses tn recognize them. The blue
book is in fact. n report of q commits

tects. hut the conclusions of the com
missiOners have not yet been accepted
