PAUNCEFoTE's NOTE.
Protest Against Interference With SeaI-
Pending a Settlement.


WASHINGTON. March 27.-Pauncefote's
in Salisbury's letter Of the 26th, expressed
his regrets at the failure TO re-
eeive assurance that during the con-
tinnance of negotiations for the set
tlemeDt OF the seal fishery question
British vessels would not be interfered with
by United States revenue cutters in Bering
Sea outside of the territorial limits; pro-
tested against such interference with British
vessels. and said that her Majesty's Gov
eEnment learned with great concern that the
Government OF the United States had Issued
instructions to revenue cutters about TO be
dispatched tn the Bering Sea under which
vessels of British subjects would again be
exposed In the prosecution OF their legiti-
mate industry On the high seas TO unlawful
interference at the hands OF the Ameri-
can officers. Her Majesty's Govern
ment is anxious to cooperate to
to the fullest extent of their power with the
Government of the United States in such
measures rs may be found expedient for
the protection OF the seal fisheries. They
are at the present moment engaged In ex-
amining In concert with the United States
the best method of arriving at an agree
ment upon the point, but they cannot admit
the right Of the United States nf their own
sole motion to restrict for this purpose
the freedom of navigation In Bering
Sea. which the United States them
selves in former years convlnciDgly and
successfully vindicated, nor enforce their
municipal legislation against British yes
sells on the high seas beyond the limits OF
their territorial jurisdiction. Rer Ma
jesty's Government Is therefore unable
TO pass over without notice the
public announcement on the part of the
United States to renew acts of interference
with British vessels NAVIGATING outside of
the territorial waters of the United States,
of which they previously have to complain.
The undersigned. In consequence. is in
structed to formally protest against such in
reference, and therefore her Britannia
Majesty's Government must hold the Gov.
ernment of the United States responsible
for consequences that may ensue from acts
which are contrary to the established prin-
ciples of International law. The under
