ATTITUDE OF UNITED STATES.
Pacific Mall s. $. Co. Asks What II May
 Expect if It's ships Are Seized.


 Expect if It's ships Are Seized.
 Washington, July 22.-The Pacific Mail Steamship company has communi- cated to the state department It's ap- prehension as to thu safety of some of its cargoes in ships plying between the Pacific coast and Chinese and Japanese ports, on account of the seizure Of the Malacca, and the condemnation by a prize court of the British steamship AL lenton. The company's agents ask what they may expect. and for definition of contrabrand of war liable to seizure. No answer has as yet been returned, because the whole subject is under very careful investigation by the legal off, .cers Of the department. and its conn merciai importance may demand the issue of a formal notice from the gov- ernrnent to American mariners on their rights and privileges. and of the liin- itations imposed by the war on their trade operations.
 The inquiry was probably inspired by the entry of the Russian yladivostok squadron into the Pacific, and the as- sumption that the squadron, having shown no disposition to locate and att tack any of the Japanese naval vessels. must be cruising after merchant ships. Considerable flour, pork and canned meats are now in transit from the great western mills and packing houses to China and Japan, all going at the ship pers' risk.

BATTLEsHIP IN DANGER.
Fire Discovered Under Bow of New Jer-
 sey Now Building.

Quincy. Mass, July 22.-The prompt response to a private fire alarm by the workmen at the Fire River ship yards tonight undoubtedly saved the battle ship New Jersey, now under construc- tion from serious injury, and perhaps destruction.
 The watchman at the yard discovered flames among timbers directly beneath the bow of the battleship. Practically every workman employed by the com pany answered the alarm, and with several powerful streams of water, ex- tinguished the flames before serious damage was done. The origin of the fire is a mystery and will be a matter of serious investigation.

 Preseryers Round.
 Clayton, N. Y.. July 22-The steam yacht Castanet. of the Yisgor line, re turning sroln Kingston. Ont, this af- ternoon with load of l5O excursionists. caught fire in midstream and only by the most sortunate circumstances was an awful accident averted.
 The yacht was four miles from Kings ton and half mile from shore; a stiff breeze was blowing and the passengers were enjoying the ride when suddenly without a sound of warning, sheet of flame shot up through the hatchways. The passengers at once ran to the ends of the boat. The flames swept up to the canvas awings and in a moment they were ablaze to the stern. While the passengers were huddled forward and aft the engineer and fireman crawled from the flames of the engine room. The crew had meanwhile caught up armfuls of life preservers which they handed to the passengers. Then they began to fight the blaze. The captain, Barney Nunn, turned his boat from it's course, heading it for the shore, follow ed by the steam yacht Nokomis, be- longing to W. H. Nichols of New York, which was mile away when the blaze burst out. The burning boat was beached on Cedar island, and in mo- ment the Nokomis was run behind her. The transfer of passengers was quickly made without the loss of a life. and the united efforts of both crews extinguish- ed the blaze. Engineer Charles Wood and his son, Raymond Wood, the fire man, were both badly burned but will recover.
 The cause of the accident was an ex- plosion of gas in the firebox, which threw the fires out into the engine room. The boat was a handsome ex- cursion yacht. The damage can be re- paired.
