SEIZURE GRAVE OEEENSE,
British Official Circles Alarmed Over
Seizure of Steamers

London, July 20.-in British Off

burg are regarded as very grave in
ternational incidents. The seizure of
the Peninsular and Oriental steamer
Malacca, by the st. Petersburg and
her arrival in the Suez canal as
prize Of war on her way to Libau. on
the Baltic, has come as a climax, anu
the cabinet today is considering the
course to pursue. The British law
officers acknowledge the right of the
Russians to seize and detain mails,
provided that only official cOmmuni-
cations are taken, but they take the
most serious view Of the status of
the two Russian ships patrolling the
Red sea, and if any official action or
protest ensues it will be chiefly in
regard to the passage of these erst.
while merchant ships through the
DardeneIles and their subsequent
transformation into ships of war.
In official circles. strong comment
is made in regard to Russia $ policy
in this matter. 1t is regarded as
Impossible that the commanders of
the Smolensk and st. Petersburg
were given full power, and the Off
Gals therefore are inclined to the
grave conclusion that the Russian
government gave implicit Instructions
to the two commanders. The effect
on the stock exchange today was seen
in a heavy fall in consols and other
t-edged securities on fears of in
ternational complications. The dan
gers and difficulties of the situation
are much commented upon in the
newspapers, which are practically
unanimous in denouncing the "du-
bious and irregular character" Of the
volunteer fleet vessels.
'If their actions are proved as VIC
believe to be. those of vulgar filibus.

Another element adding to the
dangers of the situation is the atti.

Mall Gazette points out that if, as
stated in dispatches from Constant.
