MAY DETAlN Our BEEF,
We Cannot Protest Against Any Ac-
ton by POrtui:uese Authorities.

We Cannot Protest Against Any Ac-
ton by Portuguese authorities.
The State Department knows nothing of
the reported detention of some American,
earned beef at Lourenco Marques, ard
purpose on the part of the United States
consul there to make protest against the
action of the Portuguese authorities in the
matter. 1t is said that neutral nation,
such as is Portugal in this case, has an I'M
doubted right to prescribe certain goods as
contraband Of war, and prevent their trans
portation across its territory. But leaving
aside the question as to the right to declare
contraband. 1t is said here that Portugal,
being under no treaty obligations to the
contrary. is at perfect liberty to prevent
any kind of goods from the United States
from crossing Portuguese East Africa Such
is a national right which the United States
itself possesses as to its own territory, and
cannot deny to another nation Sometimes
by treaty special privileges as to the trans
pcrtatton of goods in transit across a coun-
try are conferred. But in the case of Por-
tugal the only trade treaty which existed
between that country and the United States
expired in 1892, and commercial relatio
between the two countries since that date
have been conducted only by courtesy, and
without foundation of privilege.
Therefore, If Mr.. Hollis the United States
consul at Lourenco Marques. has protested,
or attempts to do SO, he will find himself
unsupported by his own government.
