DEMAND FOR INDEMNITY.

Taking up this standpoint. we forthwith
lodged a strong protest in London against the
proceedings of the British naval officers. We
demanded:
First-The immediate release of the Bundesrath
the Herzog and the General The latter two were
Immediately released Our request, and the
Bundesrath was released yesterday.
Second Compensation for the unjustihed deten-
ton and losses resulting tEerefrom. The duty Of
compensation has been admitted in principle. and
Great Britain has declared her readiness to give all
legitimate satisfaction
structing the British naval officers not to molest
German vessels outside of the vicinity Of the seat
of war especially from Alden northward, and
Great Britain has given Instructions through which
the stoppage of vessels and the search of vessels
will not be exercised at Alden a similar distance
from the of war.
Fourth-We pointed out the high desrabity of
not stopping German mail steamers, and Great
Britain issued instructions that such vessels shall
not be stopped searched on mere suspicion.
These instructions remain in force until other ar
rangements reached.
Fifth-We have proposed that all contentious and
questions not otherwise settled shall be submitted
to an arbitration tribunal be promptly sum-
moned. Great Britain expressed the hope that ar
bitrators would not be required but declared her
willingness for srbitration in order to assess the
claims for damages

BRITISH REGRET EXPRESSED.


Finally the British Government has expressed
its regret for the incidents which have occurred.
This last statement caused loud cheering in
the House. The Foreign E1inister then said
We therefore permit ourselves to expect that
such regrettable incidents will not be repeated.
We hope the British naval officers Will not again
act in unfriendly manner toward our ships.
The straightforwardness and loyalty Of the Ger
man shipowners, which have again been proved,
should alone have prevented this, and the con-
sideration which one friendly State owes to an
other should more particularly have prevented
II because we have sincerely endeavored to
maintain friendly relations between Great Brit
ain and Germany. Our desire is that incidents
should not occur which calculated in a high
degree to make the maintenance of such rela-
ons difficult. that being only possible on the
basis of complete parity and mutual considera
ton The German Empire has so often shown
itself so far removed from aggressiveness that II
Is entitled to the most considerate treatment
from all other States.
We are grateful for the fact that the inter
pellation Is supported by a large majority OF the
Re;chstag as II affords fresh proof that where
the protection OF national rights is concerned,
concord which Is a sure pillar of our foreign
policy exists between the House and the Fed
eral Government.
Count Won Bulow. in conclusion. said that
Germany would maintain friendly relations with
Great Britain but the Government hoped that
such incidents would not recur. making IL i'm

500 CANAL BLOCKED.

Schooner Mazda Parts Her Wheel Chains
and Sinks Across the Channel.
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Aug. 49,
The schooner Mazda, bound down in
tow Of the steamer Matao and loaded
with a cargo Of iron ore, parted her
wheel chains when abreast of theEsail-
or's encampment in St. Marysriver
and went aground across the channel,
completely blocking navigation for
loaded boats for Lake Superior:an The
Mazda brought up in almost exactly
the same position where the steamer
Douglas Houghton was sunk across the
channel last year. That wreck delayed
the commerce of Lake Superior for
over a week and cost the business in
terests over $1,000,000.
The Mazda struck the rocks on the
side of the cut with such force that her
bow is stove in and her forepeak full of
water. No boats can get by through
this route until the vessel is lightered
off. The towing companies sent fleets
Of tugs to the wreck as soon as the
trouble was learned.

Details of the Mine Disaster Near Hib-
bing, Minn., July Is. -,
ST. PAUL, Aug. l6.-Labor Commits
sioner McHale has received from Fac
tory Inspector McCallum a report on
the mine disaster near Hibbing July 18.
It verifies the story as to the death of
10 men, but absolves the company from
blame. In addition to 10 men killed,
three were injured. Of the killed three
were blown to atoms, the largest por.
tion found of either being a piece of
the breast bone Of one man. Two were
suffocated by gas, another was found
dead in a car near the shaft and the
others under debris. The injuries of
the wounded were not serious.
Just how the accident occurred will
ever be known. The theory most
plausible is that drop Of hot grease
fell from the lamp of one Of the men
onto the prepared powder, which OK.
ploded. The explosion Of the rest fol.
lowed as matter of course.

received by the state department. from
Consul Fowler at Che Foo was so badly
mangled in transmission as to be al.

the dispatch appears to contain mes
sage from Minister Conger, transmitted
to Che Foo by courier. The gist Of the

gram is that the situation in Pekin is
more critical and that the Chinese gov
ernment is endeavoring to force the
ministers to leave the imperial city un.
der Chinese escort before the arrival Of
the relief column. Beyond this point

Both Trains Running at Nearly
Full Speed at the Time Of !
the Disaster. "f>

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug. 16.-The
most terrible wreck in the history of
the Grand Rapids and Indiana railroad
occurred about 5a. m. at Pierson, 29
miles north Of Grand Rapids. The
northbound Northland express, which
left this city at 4:05, collided headon
with passenger train No. 2, due here
at 6 a. m. Seven lives were lost and
many persons were injured, nine fa-
tally. Both engines and the baggage
cars were completely demolished.
When the trains met day was Just
dawning and the fog was SO thick that
the engineers could not see more than
100 yards ahead. The trains were to
have passed at Sand Lake, two miles
south of Pierson, at 4:52. No. 2 was
evidently late and was trying to make
the siding at Pierson. The Northland
express had the right of way and was
running at nearly full speed. Either
the engineers blundered in their orders
or were unable to see signals on &C.
count Of fog. The dead are: Charles
M. Letts, Grand Rapids, conductor;
Gilbert Groetveldt, Grand Rapids, en-
gineer; William II. Fish, Grand Rap.

Nine persons, supposed to be fatally
injured, were taken to the hotel at
Pierson.
According to the railway officers the
collision was the fault Of the operator
at Mill Creek There were II cars on
train No. and 10 on No. 5. Only six
cars remained on the track. The en-
gines were literally torn to pieces.
