CASE OF STEAMER KROONLAND TAKEN
 ID PRIZE COURT
United States Gets No Re- ply From England on Protest Against Detain-
 ing of Steamship

Washington, November 1-Acung Secretary Lansing announced today the receipt of a message from American Consul Sprague at Gibraltar stating that prize court proceedings had be- gun in the case of the American steam ship Kroonland, detained by British Authorities
 Ne reply has as yet been received from London to the formal protest made through Ambassador Page and the request for the release of the yes- sell In the recent case of the steamer Brindilla, however, prize court proceed ings actually had begun when the Brit ish government ordered the release of the vessel
 Consul Sprague reported that the Kroonland was discharging her cargo of 1400 tons of copper and 300 bar rels of lubricating oil. The reason for this was not given. State department officials will await formal reply from London before making further repre- sentations Inasmuch as copper and oil were placed on the contraband list aft CT the KToonland sailed, the American government probably will contend that the vessel has right to deliver her cargo It is thought in some quarters. however. that the Kroonland may have discharged the copper and oil as a re- suit of the offer of the British govern ment to buy it.
 x While the consuls dispatch made no mention of the Kroonland's 1900 pas sengers, it is believed that if the ves- sel discharges her cargo for consider ation by the prize court she may be al- lowed in the meantime to proceed to Italy and Greece with, her neutral pas sengers. German and Austrian reserv- ists, reported on board, would be taken off prisoners of war.
