The department of Justice views of the law and its study of precedents seems to bear out the contention that the government can control in a easure the shipments of arms, dealing with each particular case, according to the cireumstances surrounding [t, but that there 18 no &eneral statute which flatly forbids the shipment of arms. Mers Sale of Arms Not a Vielation. Atwrney (General Harmon in 1885 gave the state department an opinion regarding shipment of arms to the Cuban_insurrectos in which he said that “the mere sale or shipment of arms and munitions ‘of war by per- sons_in the United States to persons in Cuba is not a violation of inter- national law, however strong a suspi- clon there may bathat they are to be used in an Insurrection against the Spanish government.” Ne Offense to Transport as Merchan- dise. About the same time Justice Brown in the United States district court held that it was no offense agalnst neutrality laws of the CUnited to transport munitious of war from this country to another, as mer- chandise only, if not designed in and of a military expedition from this country, whether they were to be used in war or not The Wiborg Case. In the Wiborg case, comcerning one of the fllibustering expeditions to Cu- ba, the suprems court of the United States afirmed the opinfon of the court below that it was no crime to transport munitions of war to an- other country if they were to be used for war or not, and that it was not an offense to transport persons intend- ing to eniis; in a foreign army and manitions of war. on the same trip.

A Mexican Precedent. One case which bears directly on the Mexican situation has been found. It was the case of the United States v Ybanes, charged with forming an,_ex- pedition to invade Mexico, Judge held that before convictign it must be proved that the design and bpur- pose of the expedition was some at- tack or invasion of another people or country as a military force. Hostile Intent Must Be Shown. Judge May also held that the mere fact that men armed with rifles cross- ed the Bio Grande into Mexico would not be sufficlent in itself to constitute a military enterprise or hostile intent, but the proof must be furnished of what they-were doing and where their destination, was. The court made it plain, however, that if any number of men planned in the United: States an attack on Mexico they would be guil- ty of a violation of the neutrality laws, 3,180 Militia Officers Want to Go. ‘Washington, March 16.—Three thou- sand one hundred and eighty officers of the ofganized militia have accept- ed the war department’s invitation to participate in the present military op- erations in the southern border states The war department today commu- nicated by telegraph with Genefal Carter at San_Antonio, and General Bliss at San Diego, asking for defi nite information.as to how many mil- itia officers can be accommodated by their commands at one time.
