Washington, Dec. 2.--Reports from Uni
ted States Minister Newell at The Hague,
with details of the Russian sealing cases
announced last week, have reached Assist
ant Secretary Pierce, who conducted the
case OF the United States government and
they make it appear that on substantial
points the arbitrators sustained the conten-
tions of the United States. Two important
principles of international law we're sus-
tained. In the cape OF the Cape Horn
Pigeon, vessel captured by small Rus
sian schooner, the arbitrator laid down the
principle that no arresting officer can obIiae
foreign sailors to undertake to navigate the
arrested vessel to port as sailors on the
Cape Horn Pigeon were forced to do and
he awarded $3.50 to each of the men SO i'm
pressed.
The other important ruling was that In
calculating damages, it was proper to re-
gard the prospective catch vessel might
have made had she not been seized. II il
said at the department that this is the first
SPECIFIC definition by properly authorized
international authority that an award for
damages for prospective catch is allow
