London, July 2S.-The British gov
eminent is taking energetic action In
the case of the sinking of the British
steamer knight Commander by the
Vladvostok squadron. Information re-
ceived by the government tends to es-
tablish, in the official mind, a belief
tina an outrage has been committed
for which no excuse exists in interna-
tional law. Those aware of the feel
ing Of the ministry said tonight that
all the members of-the cabinet are in
accord regarding the principle Of the in
volatility of innocent neutral shipping,
as we'll as upon the principle that a
neutral ship cannot be destroyed, even
if carrying c~ontraband Of war.
The demands which will be made
upon the Russian government include
compensation to the owners Of the ship,
and to the owners Of the goods on
board the Knight Commander, an apol-
ogy for the action OF the Russian cruis-
ers and an agreement that instructions
be given which will prevent a repetition
of such action.
British ship n are up In arms
over the dangers which shipping is now
running and are bombarding the gov
