PREVENTED FROM LANDING
Authorities at San Juan Take Action Re-
garding the Arkadia
The Reason is Not known-InyestI-
cation Will BE Made by the
War Department..

Government authorities this afternoon re-
ceivec telegram from Miller Bull &
hnowlton of New York saying that the
Spanish authorities at San Juan had Just
refused permission TO the steamship Ar
kadia to discharge her cargo on the wharf
there as had previously been done They
go on to say that their ship the Evelyn had
no trouble and intimate that the Spaniards
are putting hindrances in the way Of the
Arkadia because she had formerly carried
United States troops to Porto Rico. The
Evelyn was never "A troopship.
The exact cause of the refusal to allow
the Arkadia to discharge her cargo is not
given in the telegram.
The War Department will at once inves-
tigate the matter and attempt to ascertain
the cause of the hold-up.
1t is not believed. however, that the au-
thorities here will permit interruption TO
commerce by the Spanlards. If ii is found
that there was no good reason for the hold
up of the Arkadia sharp action may be
taken. The President desires free ingress
and egress for American ships and will not
permit anything else.
