The foreign office has cabied to the
German consul at Port Said for an
authentic version OF the capture Of the
Scandia. and is awaiting his answer
before making representation at St
Petersburg. The officials discuss the
case with an evident attempt to keep
cool. but they betray deeD-seated indig-
nation at RUssia's course. Germany
has no war ships in the Red sea, and
the question Of sending vessels there
has not yet been considered. but the
officials plainly intimate that this
question must arise unless Russia
speedily orders the captains of her vol
unteeF fleet steamers to cease mOleSting
Germany's shiP9ing. The officials refer
10 the euergettte language Of the Ger
man press as fully justifiable. The
seizure of the Scandal is regarded as
being so excessively unreasonable that
the government officials try 10 assume
that the captain Of the Russian ship
exceeded his Instructions. and that
Russia win make speedy amends.
The Loksi Anzeiger regards the seiz-
ure of the Scandia being a much more
serious act Of violence than the Prince
Heinrich case.
