PRINZ HEINRICH INCIDENT
Russia Assures Germany There Will
Be No Repetition.

ST. PETERSBURG. July %, / 80 pm
The Russian government has given formal
assurances to Germany that there will be
no repetition of the Prinz Heinrich incident.
Whether this includes definite notification
that the converted volunteer fleet steamers
now in the Red sea will cease stopping neu-
trail vessels is not yet clear, although 1t
is believed II does.
The German embassy to this hour has re-
ceived no instructions from Germany re-
garding the reported seizure of the German
steamer Scandia In the Red sea, and in
view of the assurances given to the German
government it can scarcely credit the re-
port 1t is pointed out. however, that the
Scandia may have been captured by the
st. Petersburg before the orders of the Rus
sian government were received.
Great Britain formally raised the aues-
tion of the war status of the ST. Peters
burg July 20. and was formally assured that
orders had been issued to prevent the Red
sea cruisers from seizng any more British

Seized Ships to Be Released.

ST. PET.ERSBURG, July 25-5:4O PM
While not admitting the iliegality of the
Russian action in converting vessels of the
volunteer fleet into warships after they had
reached the Red sea, it is probable. in view
of the fact that neutral ships did not re-
ceive previous notice, that Russia. in order
to remove the shadow of a cloud upon their
right to fly the war flag, will formally no.
tify the powers of their conversion into
warships. thus putting all neutrals upon
their guard.
In the meantime all the ships seized will
be released unless the captains refuse to
show their manifests, in which event the
procedure In the case of the Malacca prop
ably will be followed.
Germany had not made any protest
