WHO WON EVOLUTIONARY WARP
Hoar Says 1t Was the Privateers, TO Which
Other Statesmen Demur,

Other Statesmen Demur,
Hoar. referring to the training of
sailors in civil life, said there was n
fact not generally known-that our in
dependence in the war of the revolu-
tiOn had been won at sea. England
could have continued for hundred
years, if necessary, the land war of the
revolution, because she was able to
pay the cost. 1t was not the French
alliance but the rate Of maritime in
surance which compelled the unwill-
ing monarch to come to peace. 1t was
New England sailors and other sail
Ors of the maritime states which won
the battle. The rate of insurance on
English commercial ships then was 2S
per cent in the Mediterranean. II
was the ship owners of Bristol who
won the battle by privateers and not
the navy.
After Bacon had protested that it
was the valOr of our soldiers and sail
ors that enabled the colonies to gain
their independence. and not the rates
of insurance on English ships, Till
man insisted that HOar should give
some of the credit of achieving indie
pendence to other colonies than New
England. Amid laughter and ap-
plause lie declared: There's glory
enough to go round, as our great adj
miral in command at the battle of
Santiago said"
At the conclusion of the discussion
Hoar introduced n resolution request
ing the president to inform the senate
whether the department of state had
any official information that the Brit
ish government eXacts duties Oh goods
intended for prisoners of war in Ber-
muda, in violation of article 16 of the
convention adopted at The Hague,
which is as follows: "Gifts and relief
in kind for prisoners of war shall be
admitted free of all duties of entry
and others, as well as of payments for
carriage by the government railways"
In explanation Of his resolution HOar
said that some charitable organizations
! in this country had sent supplies and
comforts to Boer prisoners detained in
| Bermuda. Upon these supplies duties
| had been collected in contravention OF
The Hague treaty. He desired merely
to ascertain. whether the state depart
ment had been informed of the situa-
ton. The resolution was adopted.
