SUSPENSION OF INTERCOURSE ‘The possibility that the. present strained relations between the United States and Spain may speedily terminate in an open declaration of war, by one of the parties, has started a general discussion as to the precedents in that line on the part of the United States.

PI Z “4 z ry although the formal declaration of war, which was borrowed from the Romans, has gradually fallen into disuse. As in tfis country, an act of Congress is neces- sary to declare war, the passage of such an act is a sufficient declaration thereof. Ac- cording to Daniel Webster, Secretary of State: “The war making power in this government rests entirely with Congress, and the President can authorize belliger- ent operations only in the cases expressly previded for by the Constitution and the law.” = If, however, before war be declared by Ccngress, the nation that has refused to recognize the ultimatum, commits acts of dcpredation or in contravention of the law existing between nations during a time of peace, then the President, without calling upon Congress in the first instance, may take such m@&sures as he deems necessary to protect the country and the interests of its citizens whether the same be in a foreign country, on the high seas or with- in the borders of his country.

He is commander-in- chief of the army and navy of the United States and of the militia of the several states when called into the actual service of the United States. He has no power to initiate or declare a war, either against a foreign nation or a domestic state, but by the acts of Congress of February 28, 1795, and March 3, 1807, he is authorized to call out the militia and use the military and naval forces of the United States in case of invasion by foreign nations, and to sup- press insurrection against the government of a state of the United States. “If a war be made by the invasion of a foreign nation the President is not only authorized but bound: to resist force by force. He does not initiate the war, but is bound to accept the challenge without wait- ing for any special legislative authority; and whether the hostile party be a foreign invader or states organized in rebellion, it is none the less a war, although the dec- laration of it be ‘unilateral.” Lord Stowell observes: ‘It is not the less a war on that account, for war may etist without a dec- laration on either side. It is so laid down by the best writers on the law of nations. A declaration by one country only is not a mere challenge to be accepted or refused at pleasure by the other. “The battles of Palo Alto nd Resaca de lined all through with heavy White Black stri " 3 regu 2 pieces of 48-inch Bordure. in Green and lar ‘nice, io oe am, sino Bes Wine; regular price, $1.50—NOW 23 00 ° ° 75C. yn. : 2 Black Velour Capen. handsomely Jetted; made ith tight-fitting back, belted tm: Tore Gloves. 2 pleces of 44-inch Variegated Checks, in edged down front with marten or Persia Green and Blue, for separate skirts; regular Reynier’s Men's Gloves; regular price Price, $1.25—NOW 3 25C, mm.

In December, 1805, President Jefferson, in discussing Spanish depredations on our territory, said: “Considering that Congress alone is constitutionally invested with the power of changing our. conditions from peace to war, I have thought it my duty to await their authority for using force in any degree that could be avoided. I have barely instructed the officers stationed in the neighborhood of the aggressions to protect our citizens from violence, to pa- trol within the borders actually delivered to us, and not to go out of them, but, when necessary, to repel an inroad or to rescue a citizen or his property.” In leu of war, limited hostilities may be declared between nations; that is, they may be declared us to places, persons or things. “Although $uch a condition may be a “public war,” it is usually described as an “imperfect war.” Congress may de- clare such a war, or it may declare a “gen- eral war,” the extent and operation of which are restricted and regulated by the law of nations alone. Laws of Civilized Warfare. If a general war Is declared, the situation is governed by the general laws of civilized warfare, andeverything that is recognized by the international code of laws may be done by one belligerent to cripple, weaken and destroy the other, even to the confiscation of property on land and ‘ea. As a general thing, the property of a citizen-of a bellig- erent nation found within the territory of the other nation is respected, as are the owner’s life and liberty, but in this coun- try such property could be confiscated by Gongress and the Supreme Court, if such @ course was deemed necessary as a war 69c. 1 Gray Figured Double Camel's Hair ‘° Shawl; regular price $10—NOW $5.00. . 3 Persian Silk and Wool Shawls; regular price $12.50—-NOW $6.00.
