As a point of International law, and in the absence of soy formal declaration of hostilities, it is only consistent to maintain that a state of war did not come into being until the first blow was struck. The accusation was put forward, as though we had, in time of war, allowed a third Power to use our port for the purpose of attacking a Power friendly to us. Now, even if the Japanese fleet had been at Weihaiwei. and had sailed thence to make its attacks on the sbips at Chemulpo and Port Arthur, it would presumably still have been necessary, before condemning the port authorities, to prove that they were aware of the intention to attack. If they had known, and had not done their utmost, by refusing the hospitality of the port and so forth, to dissuade Japan from such a move, then England would have been responsible. Bat the Weihaiwei oflotals would have been [640 guilty not, as implied, of illegal interference in hostilities already begun, but of forwarding, in time of peace, a hostile expedition directed againstja Power friendly to us. The most exact equivalent of recent time is to be found in the Jameson Raid. If, on learning that there was na intention to attack, the authorities had at once ordered the Japanese, feet to leave the port, they would have preserved us from blame; and that, too, whether the Japanese had gone direct to Port Arthur as soon as they were turned out of Weibalwsi, or had subsequently put into one of their own porta before delivering their attack. However, in either case, the He was a mischievous one, and it is a mattor for congratulation that the Govern mont should have stirred itself betimes to mail it to the counter.

say

The new edition of Hall's International Law shows what is the established usage in an event of this nature. A neutral stato can only be held responsible for such acts as it may reasonably be expected to have knowledge of and to prevent. It the acts dona are of common notoriety, as WIS. the Fenian Raid inte Cemda in 1866, the state is obviously responsible for not using propor moaur to repress them. If, however, attempts are made to disguise the true character of noxious sots, it is not easy to say what amount of care to obtain knowledge of them beforehand and to prevent them; may reasonably be expect- ed. The conclusion arrived at is that, if a Government honestly gives so much care as 208 sem to be proportioned to the stato of things existing at the time, it doas all that it can be asked to do.

The declarations of neutrality have followed the usual cour e, and show considerable differences The chief of these differences is

The declaration of an alliance between Japan and Cores auttles the points which had been raised us to the violation of Coresa waters and territory. It is not clear that the destruction of the Russian ships at Chamalpe, with which the war begau, did violate nentral waters, for it is stated that the netion took place four miles Hanoi off above. The Japanese Commander-in-Chief Haiphong ordered the Russians to come out and tight in Tonkin Provinces Quinhon the open. He may have, been considering the question of unutral waters, but it is much mors Manila likely that be had in his mind the four neutral mon-of-war in the port, and the necessary Sarawak damage to private property which a battle inside the harbour wall produs. And if Japan had show a tendency to respect Corean neutralitashing wibily improbable in itsolf-she would by so doing merely have tied her own bands. for it was not in the Ioast Palang likely that Russia wond keep her hands off. The fact ie, that when the war broke out, it Batavia was universally recognised that Corea, just as Buitenzorg mach as Manchuria, was to be the cock-pit iu which the parrel would be fought ont.
