be stated that while an amount equal to

co and her cargo was all shipped by
American citizens. II is pointed out
that her cargo of foodstuffs Is not con.
traband of war on the grounds that
the japanese Government has never
declared II to be such. The Russian
Government, to be sure. considers food
and, for that matter, anything else
shipped to Japan, contraband Of war
But this declaration by one Govern.
ment does not make It so.
A parallel case occurred in the late
Anglo-Boer war, when three or four
cargoes OF -four from American ports
and destined for the Transvaal, were
captured by the British and taken to
Cape Town and Port Elizabeth and
seized as contraband of war. After a
vigorous protest by the United States
Government, the British prize court at
the Cape decided not only to release
the cargoes but granted damage, which
was paid by the British Government.
It is further alleged by the knowing
ones that at the time Of the capture OF
the NJ. S. Dollar, Vladivostok had not
as yet been declared an effective
blockaded port. and therefore was
open to navigation to all foreign flags
except to the ships carrying real con,
traband of war ammunition, arms,
coal, etc.)
The prize court at Sasebo, Japan,
will have to decide what shall be done
with the vessel. In the meantime II Is
expected that the British and Ameri.
can Governments will enter a vigorous
protest.
The NJ. s. Dollar was the first steam.
err to sail from the American Pacific
coast for Siberia, the British steamer
Wyefeld left three days later. The
American steamer Tacoma was third
the American steamer Olympia fourth
the British steamer Brinkburn NTH
