This evoked noisy protests from the audience and
the accused men, NJ. Jules Guerin called upon the
President of the Court, " Fallieres, not to permit
the Prosecutor 10 indulge In such insulting re-
marks" but the Prosecutor continued, saying that
the same men who conspired ten years ago had
again plotted to overthrow the Republic. The
Comte de Paris he added was dead but the Due
d'Oreans pursued the same system.
The remarks Of the Prosecutor were soon drowned
by the vehement Interruptions of the prisoners. NJ.

SEIZURES OF AMERICAN FLOUR.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT WILL SEEK RE-
DRESS IF THE FACTS ARE As
REPORTED

Washington, Dec. 26 tspeciaD.-The State De-
partment has heard nothing from Consul Hollis
at Pretoria. about the seizure by British officials
Of vessels laden with American -four consigned
TO the Beers. nor has Secretary Hay yet been
made officially aware that such seizures have
actually occurred. The request made to the
State Department by the Pennsylvania Milling
Company. OF NewYork, with a view Of learning
whether cargoes Of -four shipped to Delagoa
Bay by it had been stopped was referred to
Ambassador Choate. whose inquiries OF the
British authorities have apparently been I'M
productive Of information. far the State
Department has knowledge.
II it turns out that neutral goods in neutral
bottoms destined for a neutral port have been
violated by either bellgerent, would be the
case Of American flour bound for Lourenco
Marques IT is declared at the State Department
that a remonstrance and representations look
ing to redress will be prompt. 1t being the belief
Of the officials. however that no serious attempt
will be made by any European nation at this
time to class flour contraband Of war.

GERMANY ABANDoNs ALL IDEA OF BUYING THE
DANISH WEST INDIES.
Berlin, Dec. 26.-The German Government has
definitely abandoned all idea OF acquiring the
Danish West Indies. either by purchase from
Denmark or otherwise. The correspondent OF
The Associated Press received this information
from an authoritative source to-day. The Ger
man Embassy in Washington has left no doubt
that any such attempt would be looked upon by
the Americans as an unfrendly act, ana as a
serious INFRINGEMENT of the Monroe Doctrine
According to the same authority. the reports
representing that Denmark is negotiating 10
sell the islands to the United States are either
entirely premature or without foundation.
