One story was that a gigantic coal

BRITAIN'S REPLY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II The answer
of the British government to Mr..
Choate's representations respecting the
seizures of American -four and other
goods on the three vessels, Beatrice,
Mashona and Maria, has been received.
Just as the officials of the State de-
partment expected, it amounted to a
partial answer, very satisfactory as far
as it goes, dsposing of the character Of
some # the goods seized but not dnally
deciding broadly whether or not food
stuffs are to be regarded as contraband
The British government adopts pre-
cisely the point of view regarding the
seized goods that was assumed by the
state department aud embodied by Mr..
Choate in his note on the subject adj
dressed to the British foreign office.
The British government is lnvestigat-
ing the facts in connection with the
goods seized on the third vessel the
Beatrice. Mr.. Choate's message en-
bodied succinctly the authorities relied
upon by the British government to sus-
tain its position, and as this position, as
already stated, is one of those already
assumed by the state department, of
course they are regarded as convincing.
For this reason Mr.. Choate's message
is long, and it was nearly noon before
it could be decipheled aud placed in
Secretary Hays hands.
If any question arises as to compen-
sation to the owners on account OF
these seizures, that can be adjusted
later on. 1t is probable, however, that
the British government will not wait
for any hint, but will voluntarily make
such amends as SCENE to be fair.
ROME, Jan. II -Ex-Premier Count
Rudini said today: sit would be
strange if the Delagoa Bay question
does not trouble the European situa'
ton. If complications arise in this
matter, Italy will probably incline
toward England. Negotiations to this
end have occurred between Italy and
England but have not reached any def
mite conclusion"
LONDON, Jan. 12.-Choate has re-
ceived IA message from Hay congratu-
laling him on the successful conduct OF
the negotiations relative to the seizure
of American -four. 1t is explained
here that England's decision regarding
the right of search affects trade between
neutrals only. The foreign office is
still discussing the attitude taken
toward trade between neutral and a
belligerent.
