TWO MORE SHIPS OF
THE BRITISH TAKEN.

London, July %. 1:46 p. m-Count
Benckendorff, the Russian ambassa-
dor, has received official notification
from st. Petersburg, reporting the cap
ture of two more British ships in the
Red sea and instructions from his
government to notify Great Britain
that the same procedure will be fol-
lowed as in the case of the Malacca.
namely, the vessels will be taken to a
neutral port for examination by the
consuls of the two nations concerned
The effect of the additional seizures
upon the British government has been
to intensity its determination to settle
the status of the volunteer fleet YES
sells. 1t is understood that the dis
pach of the British cruiser Venus to
the Red sea and a number of torpedo
boats to Port Said is an earnest of
the governments intention to protect
British commerce. No warlike in
structions have been given the COM
manders, but the Venus will closely
watch the procedure of the volunteer
fleet vessels.
Some diplomatic circles regard this
as being in the nature of a threat
to Russia, but the Russian diplomats
in London express no concern.

GERMANS ARE TRYING
NOT TO GET ANGRY.

Berlin, July 23.-The Foreign Office
is without official information of the
seizure of the Scandia. the only thing
received up to the present time being
a telegram from the Hamburg Ameri-
can Company, stating the facts and
appealing for assistance. The Foreign
Office thereupon cabled to the German
consul at Port Said for an authentic
version of the capture and is awaiting
his answer before making representa-
tions at ST. Petersburg.
The officials discuss the case with an
evident attempt to keep cool, but they
betray deep-seated Indignation at Rus
sia's course. Germany has no warships
in the Red sea and the question of
sending vessels there has not yet been
considered, but the officials plainly in
innate that this question must arise
unless Russia speedily orders the cap
tains of her volunteer fleet steamers
to cease molesting our shipping.
The officials refer to the energetic
language of the German press as fully
justifiable. The seizure of the Scandia
is regarded as being so excessively un-
reasonable that the government officials
try to assume that the captain of the
Russian ship exceeded his instructions
and that Russia will make speedy
amends.

The Associated Press is able to an

between the two Powers that if pend
