caic citIzens until the vlewu , of the Unit
States respecting tlmo aPPlication to the
cases of time treaty of l7'J5 and time protec
of 1877 can be lreefltcd , and considered. _
Thu announcement of the poatpOnelne
of the executIons means a delay of occ
t'ecedl at least , and that the matter will
taken up by tIle diplomatic represi'ntatlv
of the United Statea and Spain and be rno
the subject of the eachange of correnpon

treaty nrovilouiy between thmo two natlot
Meanwhile , thia effect will be to allay pop
bar excitement , both lucre and in Spain.
The action of time State department
insistIng tupon a retrial at least of the Acne
lean prU'.ccera ii evidently In answer
the contention of the court-martial , that ti
Cuahilng prctocol of 1877 dId not apply to ti
present case.
Time court lucid that It applIed only
American citizens resIdent in Spain or ti
Spanish doininloucs , and as the captives fm
the CnnpetItor were not in any scuise ro
dents Of Cuba , It decided that they could n
clalni any of time privileges accorded by ti
protocol ,
In Uce opinion of the State department th
was an extremely narrow and ill.liber
conatruction to place upon the protocol , b
vhcile not acceptIng this conm'tructlon , ti
department guarded against the adverne d
cislon on the protocol by recurring to ti
ancIent treaty of 1701 on the ground that
the prlouiera' case was not coveredi by tI
protocol , they certainly could invoke U
ineac'uro of protection aflorulefi by tI
earlier treaty.'hiile thici treaty Is not 1
any meanu generous in the matter of ntis
beges helil out to Anmericact prisoners ,
still contains a3me gurantCes of great vali
to them in Just such cases as that wiil
has now arIsen.
'Fime section of the treaty applyIng to ti
caee , in the Judgment of tIme State dciar
ment , is article vii. , which reads as fc
lewa :
"And It is agreed that the subjects as
citizens of each of the contracting partic
their vcsels or effects , shall not be blat
to any embargo or detentIon on the pa
of the other fo any military expedItion
publIc or private purpose whatever , and
all casea Of seizure , detention or arcst f
debts contrac.eJ or offenses committed I
any citIzen of the one party withIn U
Juiris'liction of the other the same shall
niade and lrOsoCUtccd by order and authori
of lasv only and according to the mogul
course. of proceedIngs usual in such ease
The cItizens and subjec.s of bath parti
shall be allowed to employ such advecate
solicitors and notaries , agents and facto
as they may Judge proper In nil their affal
and In all their trials at law in which the
may be concerned before the tribunals
the other party and such agents shall ha'
free access to be present at proceedIngs
such cases , and the takIng of all examin
tIon anti evidence which may be exhibited
the sail trlais. '
The contention of the State department
that , IrrespectIve of the Cuehlng protoc
of 1877 , thiS treaty glvea the jtmerlcc
pniocicra certain prIvileges that were wit
held from them by the Spanish court-inartlc
Notaliy. they were obliged to rest their d
tense In the hands of a Spanish officer ci
tailed for the purpono r.nd in all probablll
not particularly nnxloua to clear his ellen
and were prevented from selectIng the
ott'c counsel , as guaranteed by the treat
Also , it is a'aIcl that the prisoners were n
accorded an opportunity to nrocure test
mony iii their own behalf. This Is one of th
privileges inseparable from a lawful and re
ular ccieiuct of the prosecutIon ,
AltogcUaer. ! the indicatIons arc that ti
State department is preprering to make
strong legal defense against the execution
