PROBLEM is COMPLICATED.

TRES OF FLOUR.

Consular Agent at Lourenzo Mar
queE Has Been Directed TO Send All
the Faets-State Department VIII
DO Everything Possible to Main
tain the Rights of Neutral Trade.
Comparison Made with Seizures
During the War with spain.
Washington. Dec. 2S.-The ascertain-
ment of the facts connected with the selz-
ure OF American flour by British war
ships off the coast Of Portuguese. East
Africa, has been confded 90 the United
States consular agent at Lourenzo Mar
quez.
Under the instructions sent 10 him by
Secretary Hay yesterday, he will ascer-
tain all OF the facts connected with the
seizure of the -four, and particularly the
names of the persons 10 whom this -four
was consigned. and the actual ownership
of the goods
The department Of state is determined
to do everything proper to maintain
American rights in the matter of neutral
trade in this case. But so far, the de-
partment is in absolute ignorance of any
essential facts regarding the seizures and
cannot proceed to make any complaint
until 1t has made sure of its ground. It
does not even know that all the -four was
seized as was at first reported, and there
Is reason to believe that in the case. of ar
least one consignment the -four was not
seized, but was simply diverted to another
pQrt than LOurenzo Marquee, and there
left subject to the disposition of its own
ers. Although this may also be a breach
Of neutral privilege. 1t presents different
case entirely from seizure outright.
Ii VIII Take Much Time.
To determine with accuracy all of The
elements necessary to the preparation of
a protest against seizure of the kind
reported, necessarily consumes much time
and the state department, the officials
say, following the usual course. cannot be
expected TO act otherwise than in the line
indicated.
During our late war with Spain, where
ever a seizure was made by our warshiDs
OF merchant vessels laden with supplies
intended for Spanish ports. we politely in
formed foreign Powers which undertook
10 protest, that they would be Obliged to
wait the usual and regular action Of our
prize courts. Thus when a French shin

growing out of that particular seizure, it
was nearly two years before the parties
claiming to be aggrieved by the seizure
and detention of the ship. secured a final
decision Of the case by the Supreme Court
OF the United States. Yet this case was
simplicity itself, compared with the legal
problems presented In the stoppage Of a
British merchant ship by a British man
of-war. and the search of a neutral cargo
for contraban of war.
