ing volunteered their fervlces lo Spain
In case of war with Iho United Slates
Ilti added dial any officers taking such
a step would I in Hublo lo the penalties of
tho foreign enlistment art
Mr T G Bowles conservative aaked
thn goveiuufi nt It notice had been taken
a > t the Matcmcuts In the Spanish press
that In tho event of war between Spain
and tho United Stales Spanish pilvateers
would prey upon American commerce
and whether In view of iho complications
and Injuiles British trado would suffer
from such an event or In the ease of
war betwein Gicat Britain and a coun-
try whli h had not needed to the dcclara
ton of Paris tho government would con
tlder tho whole effects of the declaration
of Paris and the advisability of Great
Britain withdrawing therefrom
Tho first lord of tho treasury Mr A
J Balfour In reply said that tho govern
ment dots not qucstloii Spains right In
the matter but In view of he fact that
no prlvaiecrs had been ised In any war
sine ISM cvei by tlio powers not Breed-
ing In thn declaration of Paris and that
the doctrine that a neutnl lf K enrers
enemys goods except contraband of war

gardliig the latter pari of Mr Bowies
question Mr Balfour said that while
fully admitting that the iventuallty Men-
tioned might have an Important waring
upon Iho Interests of neutral cimtiles
he did not think anything would be
gained by an expression of opinion upon
the part of tho government on a hjpo
thetlcal esse
The answer however did not llsfy
Mr Bowles and ho pressed Me Ballour
for a more pxpiwt reply whereupon the
first lord of the treasury raid that an ex-
pression of opinion at the present rnoirent
might be Inexpedient He had ronsulted
with lli admiralty and his e illeaauei on
Ihe subject and believed he was correct
In saying there had ifen a eneral ac-
ceptance by all the yovers ijirfh i ot as-
a formal treaty that a neutral flag cov-
