London. July 2G-The British gov
eminent is taking energetic action il
the case of the sinking of the British
steamer Knight Commander by the
Vladivostok squadron. All information
received tends to establish in The Of
fetal mind a belief that an outrage
has been committed for which no ex.
cuse exists IN international law. Those
aware of the feeling in the ministry
said tonight all members of the cabi-
net are in accord regarding the prin-
ciple OF the inyiolability of innocent
neutral shipping as we'll as upon the
principle that a neutral ship cannot
be destroyed even If carrying contra
band of war
Demands which will be m.da upon
the Russian government will include
compensation to the owners of the
ship and to the owners of the goods
on board the Knight Commander, an
apology for the action of the Russian
cruisers and an agreement that in
structions be given which win prevent
a repetition of such actions.
Arthur Cohen, one Of the counsel
for the British government in the Al

judge of clnque ports and standing
counsel for the University OF Cam

tonight that the sinking of the Knight

cited international law to support his
contention: He said:
