RUSSIA AND ENGLAND
Complications Threatened Over
Seizure Of Vessel.
ENeLAND's PROTEST RECEIVED.
II Is Asserted Seized ship Was Carry
ing Government Stores and Not
Goods For Japan.

The Associated Press has been in
formed that Emperor Nicholas, in an
interview with Count Lamsdorff, the
foreign minister, expressed his dis
pleasure at the turn events have taken
and at the possibility of complications
with Great Britain arising out of the
detention of British ships by the Rus.
sian volunteer fleet steamers in the
Red sea.
Sir Charles Hardinge, British am.
bassador to Russia, in behalf OF his
government presented strong pro-
test to Russia against the seizure in
the Red sea and detention of the
Peninsular and Oriental steamer Ma
lacca, which was carrying British
government stores for the naval es-
tablishment at Hong Kong. each case
of which was marked with the broad
arrow, which is the government stamp.
The ambassador also presented a gen.
eral protest against the action of the
Russian volunteer feet steamers.
The protest was in the form of a
verbal note made in conformity with
telegraphic instructions from the Brit
ish government. II does not raise the
question of the passage of the Oar
danelles by vessels of the volunteer
fleet, It being understood that Great
Britain is reluctant to reopen the ques-
t'ion of the Dardanelles and that she
will not do so unless as a last re-
sort. Russia has reason to believe
and contends that the Malacca in addi-
tion to British government stores had
on board munitions intended for
Japan.
Russia seems prepared for any
representations Great Britain may
make. 1t is understood that before
sending the cruisers there the Rus
sian authorities became satisfied
through n elaborate system of espion-
age that an immense amount of contra
band was going from England through
the Red sea to Japan and they decided
to stop the traffic. II Is understood
that II this traffic Is now diverted to the
Cape route the Russian admiralty is
prepared to send ships to the cape of
Good Hope. If Great Britain objects
to the passage of the Dardanelles by
more vessels of the volunteer fleet the
ships intended for cruising off the cape
may be sent from the Baltic. In this
connection very important develop
ments are believed to be imminent.

LOST SHIP BUT SAVED LIVES.
Vessel En- Route from Cuba to
Baltimore Went to Pieces.

After a terrible experience in two
rowboats, following shipwreck on one
of the most treacherous coral reefs
OF the Antilles, Capt. William N.
Brewin of the British steamer Aid
borough, and his crew OF "a. arrived
at New York on the steamship AL
tai.
The Aldborough, loaded with iron
ore, left Dauquiri. Cuba, July 8. bound
for Baltimore. Outside the port the
ship encountered terrific storm
which drove her against the reef of
Oakland island. At the first shock
the vessel went to pieces, the men
barely having time to get into two
lifeboats. which had been stocked at
the beginning of the storm.
All night the boats kept as near
each other as safety permitted, the
huge waves threatening to dash them
together. At dawn the main island
of Oakland was sighted and, making
for this the two boats were beached.
Hiring small schooner the men went
to the Fortunate island, where they
boarded the Altai.
