dealing especially with the naval ques-
ton and will touch upon the seizures
Of German vessels by British warships
in South African waters.
In confirmation of the statement ca

has become thoroughly aroused over
the continuance of British action in
this respect. the correspondent OF The
Associated Press is informed that he,
yesterday. told Geheimrath Miessner. in
tones of deepest Indignation what he
had just heard on the subject from
Count Won Buelow, adding: "Welche

has sent out new and more stringent
instructions in reference to searching
vessels going to South Africa are re-

Germany recognizes the right of
search within certain specific limits.
Among the points enumerated in the
protest filed in London is one contend
ing that England has exceeded these
limits No answer has yet been re-
