OLD QUESTION REVIVED.
Status Of the Black Sea Fleet May Be
Discussed by the Powers.

The first impression in diplomatic
circles in st. Petersburg that the ac-
ton OF the Russian volunteer fleet
vessels in stopping neutral ships in
the Red sea to search for contraband
OF war would not give rise to inter
national complications, is being sup
erseded by the impression, which
there is good. reason to believe is
well founded that, instigated by Great
Britain. 1t will at least lead to an in
terchange Of views between the
powers signatory to the treaty of
Paris, regarding the status Of the re-
naming shipf Of the volunteer feet
now in the b zek sea! Thus the old
question Of the Dardanelles may
again become the subject of import
ant diplomatic communications.
The right of belligerent to halt |
neutral vessels on the high seas to
ascertain If they have contraband on
BOARD, is not questioned, but the right
o detain them even for few hours
nay be held to render the belligerent
liable to damages.
