CoTTEyBURG, nth June, 1911.
The Danes for some reason to us I'M
known, have boarded two or three vessels
off Norway, and permitted them to pass.
In addition to which we have list Of Is
or IL which have paid their dues and
gone through the Sound without molesta-
tion. The British this year have not pre-
vented any vessels from stopping at Elsi
neur, though do not know that they have
given up the blockade OF that port, at
,east we have seen nothing official on the
subject. We have yet heard nothing of
the convoys which have gone up this
spring since they left the Belt. through
which they passed without any loss. The
idea Of a war between Russia and France
appears TO have subsided-!t is supposed
the emperor Of France has relinquished
some OF his demands, which were said to
have gone so far as, to demand that the
ports Of Russia should be entirely closed
AGAINST commerce. The British permit
tie coasting trade of this country to be
carried on unm0lcsted."
