We define the Abelian component of the gauge field as a gauge-invariant object in the Yang-Mills theory. Then, by assuming that the Abelian component dominates in the theory at a long-distance scale, we demonstrate that quarks as well as glouns are confined by electric vortices. The vacuum structure is shown to depend on resolution R. That is, the vacuum has two phases in R and momopole condensation occurs for R> or =R/sub c/. The string tension of mesons is obtained as sigma/sub q/ = g/sub c//sup 2//3..pi..R/sub c//sup 2/, where g/sub c/ is the effective coupling constant at the critical resolution R/sub c/. We estimate R/sub c//sup -1/ to be 0.6 GeV in the presence of static quarks, and the bag constant B/sup 1/4/ to be 0.2--0.4 GeV. We also derive a relation ..cap alpha..'/sub g/ = 1/3..cap alpha..' between Regge slopes of mesons (..cap alpha..') and of gluonia (..cap alpha..'/sub g/). This relation agrees with experimetnal data remarkably well provided that gluonia are identified with states lying on the Pomeranchuk trajectory.
