WOODSTOCK. SATURDAY. H
ENGLAND May Protest.

London.-There is reason to believe
that the foreign Office Is giving serl-
Gus consideration to the question OF
the passage of the Dardanelles by YES
sells OF the Russian volunteer fleet, anC
II the reports of the operations of the
st. Petersburg, one of the ships which
recently passed through the straits, In
searching two British vessels in tbs
Red sea, are officially confirmed, pro
test. may be lodged both at Constan'
tinOple and at St, Petersburg.
The Turkish embassy here pointed
out today the fact that duriHg time Of
peace no objection was raised by any
power to the use of the Dardanelles
by ships of the volunteer fleet and
their status in the eyes of Turkey, es'
peoially as they are unarmed while
cruising in Turkish waters.
When the St. Petersburg passed
through the straits she had no guns
mounted. What r~oLebly happened
after her leaving Turkish waters was
that guns were taken from the mold
and placed in position in prepared EN-.
placements.
-ni.--I-.---.--~-sss. ss.~,,o"-eoys Japan
has not brought the case of the st.
Petersburg before the British and
Turkish governments.
A delicate question is raised as re-
suit of the operations of that vessel
in the opinion of the legation, but no
alarm is felt over the results OF the
cruising of an isolated ship in the Pa
cific as it is not believed that she can
do much harm to Japanese shipping
and even If she joins the Vladivostok
squadron the St. Petersburg will add
but little to the strength of Vice Ad'
miral Skrydloff.
