Lourenzo Marquee, Jan. 1.-The steam

East African line, has been captured as u
prize and taken to Durham. The Bundles.
rath arrived here from Mozambique. The
German steamer Bundesrath of 1919 tons.
sailed from Hamburg November s for
Tanga, East Africa
Hamburg, Jan. 1.-The directors OF the
German East Africa line have received
news of the arrest of the Imperial mail
steamer Bundesrath. The commander of
the Port OF Durham refused an eXplana.
ton OF the cause OF the seizure. 1t is
| declared here that there was no contra.
| band of war on board and when applica-
ton was made to the German foreign
office the latter Immediately promised in.
deposition with the British government.
The seizure of the Bundesrath was re-
| tened to at a meeting of merchants held
here today. After a speech by Adolph
oermann, president of the Hamburg
chamber OF commerce, dealing with the
great progress OF the German empire dur
ing the closing century, Herr Reifie,
speaking in behalf of the firms trading
with South Africa, asked whether the
chamber was doing all that was neces-
sary for the protection of German trade
in that part of the world. German com
mcrce, he asserted, had already suffered
detriment through the war in South AT
lica, and now came the seizure of Ger
man steamer by British walship.
Herr Woermann replied that the cham
Der OF commerce had already considered
the question of representations with the
! view OF taking action in the matter.
