BRITISH FEELING INFLAMED.
Reports Of Russian Seizures Are Not
Satisfactory.

London, July 2O.-The further details
from Port Said, Wednesday. descr1b-
ing the situation on board the PENN
sular and Oriental Cos. steamer Ma
lacca seized in the Red sea by the Rus
sian volunteer fleet steamer st. Peters,
burg, fail to give any reason for the
British feeling.
The officials of the company reiter-
ate their denial that the Malacca was
carrying contraband of war and assert
that the explosives on board were
British government stores consigned to
the British naval commander at Hong
Kong.
There Is no likelihood of any pre-
cipiate action. 1t is officially pointed
out that the very fullest information
must be obtained before the govern
ment decides on it's course. especially
i'm view of the fact that. being the
greatest naval power in the world
Great Britain cannot afford to create
presidents for international usage
which might hereafter react unfavor-
ably against herself. In the meantime
and until there is direct and explicit
evidence of a contraventiOn of neu-
trality by the Malacca and the assump-
ton by the Russian government of full
responsibility for the action of the
commanders of the Smolensk and st.
Petersburg the British government, it
Is expected can only ask explanations
of the Russian foreign office, regard
ing the nature of the charges against
the seized vessel. Subsequent action
necessarily will depend on Russia's re-
ply thereto.
The talk of policing the Red sea by
British war ships meets with no sup
port in official quarters where it is
pointed out that the commander of a
warship would have to satisfy him
self that Workmanship desiring con-
voy was not contravening the neutral
ity regulations. If the commander was
satisfied in this respect then there
would be no necessity for protecting
the ship. IL he did not receive salts
factory assurances he would have no
right to convoy the vessel
The editorials continued to be heated
and it is openly suggested that Rus
STA action was pre1neultdteu.
The Westminster Gazette says:
1.-The circumstances can be conceived
in which Russia might suppose it was
absolutely necessary to widen the issue
so as to avoid defeat at the hands of
the yellow power"
The Westminster Gazette suggests
that the sortie of the VladivOstek
squadron into the Pacific may have for
its object the interception of vessels
bound from America to Japan.
The directors of the Peninsular &
Oriental Co. at a meeting. this after
noon. decided to strongly urge on the
government the necessity Of action in
regard to the seizure of the Malacca.
The government has been definitely in
formed that the only explosives on the
| Malacca were stores shipped by the
British government to Hong Kong.
1t appears that the Smolensk and St.
Petersburg not only passed through
| the Dardanelles under the Russian
commercial flag but that they also went
through the Suez canal under this flag
on their outward voyage.
The Malacca's passengers have been
| transferred to the steamer Marmora of
the Peninsular & Oriental Line.

st. Petersburg. July 21.-1.42 A. M
The Associated Press has just been in
formed that Emperor Nicholas in an
interview with Count Lamsdroff. the
foreign minister. expressed his dis
pleasure at the turn events had taken
and the possibility of complications
with Great Britain arising out of the
detention Of British ships by the Rus

Red Sea.
This pacific attitude. II the report be
correct, will doubtless lead to an i'm
mediate and amicable adjustment of
the difficulties.

Dewarra, a currency of New Britain,
is an instance of how the spoils of the
chase may be turned to account as the
outward and visible sign of wealth.
Dewarra is made by stringing the shell
of dog-whelk upon the ribs of palm
leaves. These strings may be retail
ed at so much a fathom length.
usually the price is equivalent to
about three shillings a, fathom length
Or they may be made into vari-
Gus articles of personal adornment
to be worn on great occasions.
In New Britain the dewarra boarded
up by a rich man is produced at MS
funeral and divided among his heirs
in much the same kind of way as per-
sOnal property is divided amongst U.s.
