.. $. STUDYING rkECEDENrs.
10 be Prepared for ANY Contingency
Arising in Red Sea.

washington, July 1s.-with a view
to being fully prepared for any contin-
gency that may arise in connection
with the passage of any American
vessel through the Red sea, the state
department has begun an exhaustive
study OF all the preeedents since the
Crimean war involving the stoppage Of
neutral ships as belligerents, and the
exercise Of the rght Of search. All the
information possible regarding the pres
ent action Of the Russian volunteer
cruisers in the Red sea is being gath
cred The state department has taken
very broad ground respecting the ex-
emption OF neutral shipping from an
noying interference. as markedly shown
in the proclamation Of President Nc
Kinley at the beginning of the Spanish
war. The general contention was that
a neutral flag covered neutral goods,
and while it is admitted here that that
is not yet universally accepted tenet
Of International law, it is held that it
should be such, and the state depart
ment lost no opportunity to bring that
to pass.
But aside from the question of con-
trabrand goods and neutral ships. the
officials here feel that the actions Of the
Russian ships In connection with the
mails is the gravest issue now pre-
sented. nj the famous Trent case the
American captain. wilkes, boarded the
British steamer Trent. an carried off
Mason and slidell, the confederate COM
missIoners. The British government in
its contention, which was practically
admitted by the United States in the
end. remarked that the summary re-
nlovai from the ship OF the commis-
sioners was almost as bad as remov-
ing the mails would have been" show
ing clearly what the British idea was
then as to the right to carry of mail.

BUNcoED i MINISTER.
Rev. John Rose, Of baltimore, Loses
s5,45O-woman in Amir.


Baltimore, July, 1s.-Two men and a
woman are locked up at police head
quarters charged with buncoing the
Rev. John Rose, retired Protestant
Episcopal minister of this city, out OF
s., 1850. They ara William Hooper, for
ty-two years old, native Of Dorchester
county, Maryland, broker with offices
in this city; Miss Virginia Hamilton,
forty-one years old, who claims to be
native of Nebraska, but who for the
past year has been giving lessons in
vocal culture in Baltimore, and John
Lawrence, thirty-nine years old, who
claims st. Louis, Mo-, as his place Of
residence.
They were committed for court by
Justice Grammar to-day.
Mr.. Rose says he purchased from
Lawrence a block Of stock in the Grip
pie Greek Gold Temple Mining Co. at
81 a share securing an option on a
total of 10000 shares at that figure. He
paid Lawrence IS, ,45O in cash. Later he
accompanied "Mr. Bell" who negoti-
ated the deal between Mr.. Rose and
Lawrence, to Philadelphia, where It
was arranged to sell the stock at a
handsome profit. Mr.. Rose thereupon
drew a check payable to Lawrence on
a local trust company for $4,000. This
check was found in Lawrence's pos
session when arrested. He became sus-
picious with the deal and notified the
police on Sunday. The police have COM
plete descriptions of Mr.. Bell, and of
G. o. Davis, who was visited in Phil

DECLINED SAFE CONDUCT.
American Naval Attache Does Not Care
to Leave Port Arthur.


Washington, July 49,. The navy de-
partment has been informed that Lieu-
tenant Newton A. McCully, the Ameri-
can naval attache who succeeded IN
reaching Port Arthur from Mukden on
the last train entering that city. has
declined the offer of the Japanese adj
niral to give him safe conduct from
the besieged city. and has decided to
remain until the city falls or is relieved.
IT is understood that the French at
tache and Lieutenant McCully are the
only foreign attaches left.
While the Japanese will protect the
officer from any internal injury, he
must take his chances against the fall-
ing shells or against the fighting which
will precede the final attack on the
Russians fortress. Lieutenant Me-
Cully's presence ON the spot will enable
the navy department to gain valuable
information It is believed that he has
been with the Russian squadron in
some of Its recent sorties.

SERIOUS VIEV TAKEN
Red Sea seisurcs Now Under Consider
alton Of British Cabinet.

alton Of British Cabinet.
London, July 1s.-In British official
circles the recent seizures and over
hauling of British ships, in the Red sea
by the Russian volunteer fleet steam
ers Smolensk and st. Petersburg, are
regarded as very grave international in
cidents. The seizure OF the Peninsula
and Oriental steamer Malacca by the
st. Petersburg and her arrival in the
suez canal as prize of war on her way
to Libau on the Baltic, has come as a
climax, and the cabinet to-day Is con-
sidering the course to pursue.
The British law office acknowledges
the right OF the Russians to seize and
detain malls, provided that only official
communications are taken, but they
take the most serious view Of the status
of the two Russian ships patrolling the
Red sea. and If any official action or
protest ensues It will be chiefly in re-
gard to the passage OF these erstwfile
merchant ships through the Dardanelles
and their subsequent transformation
into ships Of war.
In official circles strong comment is
made in regard to Russia's policy in this
matter. It is regarded as impossible
that the commanders of the Smolenskg
and st. Petersburg were not given full
power, and the officials therefore are
inclined to the grave conclusion that
the Russian government gave implicit
instructions to the two commanders.
Rumors About British Squadron.
The foreign office this afternoon au-
thorized the statement that there is
absolutely no truth in the story, circu-
lated in the United States by a news
agency, that Great Britain had Informed
Germany Of the dispatch of British
fleet to Alexandria with the intention
of checking Russian illegalities in the
Red sea.
The foreign Office also says there is
no foundation for the belief expressed
in the dispatch from Malta to the
Daily Express of London this morn
ing that the British Mediterranean
squadron's departure from Malta might
be connected with the presence of the
Russian volunteer fleet vessels in the
Red sea. It was added at the foreign
office that the movements of the British
Mediterranean squadron are in no way
influenced by the recent incidents in
the Red sea.
The admiralty further asserts that
the Mediterranean squadron is on its
way to Alexandria, in accordance with
arrangements made prior to the recent
incidents in the Red sea. No communi-
cation on this subject has been made to
Germany.
The effect on the stock exchange to-
day was seen in heavy fall in consuls
and other gilt-edged securities on fears
of international complications. The
dangers and difficulties of the situation
are much commented upon in the news
papers, which are practically unan-
irnous in denouncing the dubious and
irregular character" of the volunteer
fleet vessels.
