iwasnangToa, 12. TUie govern
ment is taking active interest in the
proceeding instituted at New Orleans To
enjoin a further shipment of mules and
'horses to South Africa for the use of
the IBrit'ish. " Under section six of the
Geneva convention a neutral matin is
prohibited from ipermitting beli-ggerents
to renew or augment military supplies.
This point as regarded as covering the
New Orleans case. While the govern.
ment is not determined what action it
wnn lane I'll nit; evcux uu. .xw? eiccu'uvc
'oeing orougnt into tne proceedungs, a
brief Ms ibeeh prepared in whidh form
er uecisions are citeu iwnereuni it was
held that only naval expeditions and
filibusteiriin:g expeditions may foe xire
vented (from leading :ports of the Uni
ted States and fhat shipments of m.uni
tiaa s of war are not (prohibited. It is
llneUd1 in the brief that ithe shipment of
imTules and other 'suppMes from New
Orleans is 110 illegal. In some offi
cial quarters it da contended' that the
New XMeams "court has .no jurisdiction,
as a violation of neutrality lis a matter
for diplomatic adijiustmeet.
lAs near as can be learned, members
of the caJbinet iwdth legal training are
or opinion tnat 'tnese proceeoicigs are
contrary to the; rights' of the govern
ment. The 'vierw expressed Is that
when, neutrality pTO'ceedines are inau
gurated in itfte Undted States .courts.
they should be brought in the name of
thevUtiited Stales, an alleged violation
oif neniitrality being a question affecting
matic-ns, m,ot indlyiduals. The mover
jI the proceedings in the New Orleans
case is a man 'olaiminir to be a resi
dent of South 'Africa, rwuio contends
that his interests are placed in jeop
ardy. It is pointed out that if ao. indi
vidual c.uld go into the courts and se
cure restraining orders on the ground
that the neutrality laws of the coun
try were bei&g violated, the commerce
of the country might ibe seriously en
dangered .
These views of the New Orleans pro
ceedings are elicited during a brief sug
gestion with reference to the state
ment that the British government bad
decided to use no more American meat
in its' army. No official confirmation
exists concerninig tris report .
.Attorney General Knox will make a
thorough Investigation of the New Or
leans case. If it is ftnind the neatrallrty
laws are suicih as to permit individuals
to bring proceedings ini courts, congress
may (be asked to pass such amendments
as will leave these questions wholly in
the 'hands of the government.
The president submitted to the cabi
net a very grattifyjntg cahle from Sec
retary Hupt,.'of PortoCRico, expressing
the satisfaction twlth wttiich the . news
of Governor Allen's continuance at the

ing jfrom the secretary (of state's office

"General Funston whiclhi has never been

PROPOSAL TO TAX
CHINA 200,000,000
Doubtful if the Ministers will Consider
This Sufficient.

aays that the American gavernmeTut
has handed, through its representative,,
Rockhill, a proposal to the various min-
is:ers that 'the powers come to an un

demnities. The American proposal is
that China shall pay a lump Indemnity
of $40, 0,000 pounds sterling to the
powers 'which shall be divided among
the various governments in proportion
to their losses and exrenses. The
urencn minister regaros 'tne sum as
inadequate, especially as America
claims 5,000,000 pounds and England 4,s
000,000 pounds. It is helieved in Paris
that the ministers will reject the Amer
ican proposal.

THE CONVENTION
WAG DISSOLVED
QUESTION REGARDED IiN SOME
QUARTERS AS
NOT ONE FOR
THE COURTS BUT FOR THE DIP
LOMATIC ADJUSTMENT.
(Havana, April 12. At a private ses
sion tonight the constitutional conven
tion, iby a vote of 18 to 10, adoped a
motion expressing as its opinion that the
convention is opposed to the Piatt .
amendment on account of the terms in
which, some of its clauses are drawn,
and on account of the contents of others,
such as the third, sixth and seventh.
After the adoption of the motion it
was proposed to dissolve the conven
tion. The question of sending a com
mission! to Washington was not voted
on.
The convention's action in regard to
the amendment is largely attributed to
animosity of some delegates against
General Wood, they being desirous of
showing him he was wrong in predict
ing the adoption of the amendment.
