THE RUSSIAN TRICK.
Vessels Converted Into Cruisers After
Passage of Dartinnelles.

f08o0KG Oh D0EuumeIIeSs
st. Petersburg, JULY 1S.-Russia does
not foresee International complications
on account of the passage of the volun-
teer fleet steamers through the Darda-
nelles and their subsequent conversion
into war cruisers. The trainers of the
treaty Of Paris, in seeking to close the
Black Sea to the ingress and egress
of Russian warships. evidently did not
expect the present contingency.
The St. Petersburg and Smolensk did
not pass the Dardanelles as warships
but as merchantmen" said an official
of the Foreign Office. Under the
treaty of Paris. there Is no question of
the right of ships to go out as mer-
chantmen. With their subsequent con-
version into warships, Turkey has
nothing to do. The treaty Is silent on
the subject"
There Is a prize court at Sebastopol
and also at Kibau. Baltic Sea. wheth-
er an attempt will be made to take
prizes into the Black Sea or into the
Baltic has not been revealed. although
IL Is intimated that there Is no obstacle
in the way OF sending them through
the Dardanelles. In any event, Libau
certainly is available. The presidents
allowing unarmed Russian warships
to pass the Dardanelles without pro-
test from the parties to the treaty Of
Paris are considered valuable now.
While the diplomatists have not
questioned the right of Russia to seize
contrabrand of war. the actual con-
fiscation of mails presents a different
question and Germany is investigating
the circumstances.
