OHEYED NEJTRALITY LAWS.
Washington. u. c., August 1O.-1'he
Navy Department authorities discount
the significance given the report of the
enforcement Of the neutrality laws ut
Hong Kong by ordering the Zafiro from
the harhor and dcfrrring permission for
the American fleet to dock there. Adj
miral Dewey recently received orders
from acting Secretary Allen to report on
his plans for docking and repairing the
ships Of his fleet. The cablegram sent
him on this subject gave only instruc-
tions TO make an inquiry lis TO the most
available means for attending to the
repairs which are much needed. and to
report rs early rs possible. Admiral
Dewey undoubtedly Immediately set
about negotiating to secure Il suitable
place where the work could be executed
and the request TO the authorities at
Hong Kong for permission probably fol
lowed Immediately and doubtless was
carried on the last trip Of the IHfiri. The
action of the British harbor police ut
Hong Kong in ordering the Zafiro 10
leave British waters within tWcnty-four
hours IS an action strictly in accordance.
with the spirit and terms of the neutral
lily laws. This is the V .eWtaken by official
ut the Navy Department. wnosc officials
say the American dispatch boat since

tested. The signing of protocol i'll

alter the circumstances or the case as
iii the absence of Il treaty of peace
or some special arrangements by which
the time Of remaining in port could
be extended without breach of neutrality

same extent as in time of actual war.
