.spectai Cable Despatch to THE SUN
BERLIN, May ls.-George V. L. Meyer,
the American Ambassador at ST. Peters
burg, distressing the Russian postal au-
thorities. is sending his letters and tele-
grams to Berlin by courier, whence the
American Embassy forwards them to their
destination.
This is done to prevent the Russian polti-
cal police from tampering with the am
! assadorial correspondence. something
which, it is said, has occurred.
WASHINGTON. May 1s.--It was explained
by an Administration official tonight that
an arrangement was made recently by
which mail dispatches were to be sent by
courier from the American Embassy at
81, Petersburg to Berlin every other week
in order to make connections with certain
for;nshtly ma il steamers which could be
reached much more quickly in that way
than II the dispatches were sent through
the Russian post.
The State Department has not received
any intimation from the Ambassador or
any other source that American official
mail and kilograms had been tempered with
In Russia. and it has understood that the
arrangement to send dispatches from st.
Petersburg to Berlin by courier was desira-
BILE only to secure quick connections with
German mail steamers. 1t was suggested
by one official that the Ambassador may
have adopted this course as a safeguard.
Tampering With the official correspond
ence Of diplomatic representative is a
serious breach of International etiquette,
and should it be shown that there was
such tamperirg In Russia with dispatches
from the American Embassy in st. Peters
burg vigorous protest would be made
to the Russian Government and a delicate
and perhaps dangerous issue would arise

ded his papers to the official there re-
questing him to accept hem for fling

cepting those of Mr.. Ineledue who was
standing in the office. He further
states that when the clerk refused to

them on Mr. Derby's arm as the lat
