No Protest Yet Made.
PARIS. Feb. 2s.-Contrary to the cabled
reports received here, the United States
ambassador to France Mr.. James b.
Eustis. has not received instructions to pro-
test against the French exclusion of Amer
lean cattle from this country. 1t seems
that there is misrepresentation in the

or dressed beef. The decree says that the
import into or transit through France Of all
United States is prohibited both by our
land frontiers or by sea until otherwise or

manifested her intention to close her from

French origin. In the presence of this sit
uation the Minister OF Husbandry decided
