near the free imperial city Of Hamburger,
who did then and there set forth and So
lemnly declared to me, the said notary,
that on thes6fth day of June instant, at about

AUTHENTIC AND INTERESTING
Hm6zugh, 1911 mae, 1903.
Mr.. SIEDIc.


1t is with sincere regret, that at the pre-
sent crisis, I find myself constrained BY
a sense Of duty to appeal to the magistracy,
Of this city on a question of national right.
The case which is the subject Of the inclos-
cd protest, is not the first which has occur
red withinafew days, in which the protec-.
ton due TO the citizens Of the United States
of America within the territory Of this city,
has been violated by the ships ofwar of his
Britannia Majesty. When silent under IN
juries serves only to encourage their reitra-
ton, that silence becomes criminal dire
LECTION OF public duty, and must be broken
In the name Of the United States OF Ame-
RIGA, [ demand, therefore, that the Govern
ment of this city take such measures as
shall prevent the future infraction Of the
rights of the citizens ofsaid United States
within the territory of the free imperial
city of Hamburger, and to obtain suitable
PREPARATION ofthe injury already sustained.
take this occasion to renew to you, Mr..
Sindic, the assurance OF my most perfect
consideration.

Consul OF the u. D. OF America.

HamJurgh, 10 Tnc, 1903.
Dear Sir,
The more IreAect, on the circumstances
which occurred between the officers of his
Brtanic Majesty's higate the Amethyste,
and the captain and crew of the American
schooner the Astrsa, which verbally COM
municated to you yesterday, the more |
am fortified in the sense of duty, which die
tates pubic renonstrance and protest, as
the only and best means Of preventing the
repetition Of such injuries. From the
course which hostilities are taking, the
rights ofneutrality become daily more im-
portant to the United States of America.
Under this impression, feelit my duty 70
repel the first infraction of these rights. [
| have therefore thought proper publicly to
| protest against the vlolotion Of the rights Of
protection within the territory of this city.
shall if possible furnish you with copy
ofmy protest this afternoon, and ana vita
| great respect, Sir,
Your obed, servant. Z

SIR,
Some inRance, have lately occurred, of Anne

Limits Of this contnlAe, into the Bririfh fcrvics
in which cafe The captains have proceeded to Tea,
leaving their inFr2fed famen to the uncertain
chance OF being identified, and recovered by ap.
plicatior, to the Admiralty in England. This
indifference is highly repr,henGblc, iualmuch as it
violates the duty which every American owes to
his injured fellow citizens, and the obligation
which matters of [h;pS, in particular manner,
respect to tie national flag. Official circumstances
are inefficient, when unsupported by legal evil
derce OF inju y, have therefore to enjon you,
in case any violence should be committed to your
vessel or crew, by any foreign power, within tbs
consulate, to byng your vessel to anchor and re.
turn imnis,iateIy, with one or more of your crew,
