Washington, August 9.-secretary
Hay has issued a circular to Ambassa

which he declares that coal and flour
are not cGntraband OF war. He says:
1.-THE recognition in principle, of the
treatment of coal and other fuel and
raw cotton as absolutely contraband
of war might ultimately lead to a. total
inhibition of the sale by reutra,s to
the people of belligerent states, Of all
articles which could be finally convert

sion of the principle by treating coal

cause they are shipped by neutral to

would not appear to be in accord with

asked if they were looking for lost
