Circular Issued by the State Depart

Washington. Aug. S-.sThe recognf-
ton in principle of the treatment OF
coal and other fuel and raw cotton as
absolutely contraband of war might Ill
timately lead to a total inhibition of the
sale by neutraIs TO the people of bel
Iigerent states. of ali articles which
could be finally converted to military
uses. Such an extension of the pTiu-

shipped by a neutral to a TtOu-blocb-
AIDED port of a belHgeTeDt. would not

This is a summary Of a declaration
by Secretary Hay on the right of neu-
tral nations during war 1t was en-
bodied in a circular TO American am
bassadors in Europe which was issued
from the state department June 10 last
but for some reason was withheld from
the public. although certain shippers
who inquired at the department after
their rights were supplied with copies.
The circular is based on a declare

coal naphtha, alcohol and other fuel
have been declared a cOntraband.

Secretary Hay directs attention to
the West African conference i'm 1854.

for great many innocent purposes
