~ With two steamers as prizes
Of war, one of which was an Am
erican vessel flying the American
flag, a British battleship came
nto port yesterday, and her cap
ures were tied up to await the
iecision Of a prize court.
The American steamer is the
Hooking. She formerly was the
Danish steamer Gronland. Her
'egistry was changed several
weeks ago after she had complet-
I'd a trip from Rio de Janeiro to
New York. She was bound for
Norfolk, Virginia, when seized by
he British warship.
The other vessel is the Dutch
teamer Hamborn. She was en-
quite to Europe from New York.
First American Prize
Seizure of an American ship has
treated much surprise here. This
is the first seizure by Great Bri-
ain Of an American vessel as a
rrize of war. excluding the Will
lelmina, whose case is not aprO-
loS.
Reasons for the seizure of the
locking have not yet been OBJ
aimed, and while it is believed it
'ould not have been without jus
i6cation, it is feared the action will
cad to international complications
between Great Britain and the Uni
ed States. especially in view of the
last note of the American govern
nent to Great Britain reiterating
he demand for freedom of the seas
20 American ships and the right to
rursue their commerce with neu-
| raj countries unmoleSted.

1t is said there would be reason
o assign a cause for the seizure

| locking been German vessel, but
having been under the flag of nett
trial and changing to the flag OF
mother neutral, it cannot be seen
low its status would be affected
| Moreover, the Hooking was bound
! for a neutral and domestic port, and
his has served to complicate the
lease.

lSumed information had been OBJ,
tanned by the warship from secret
agents of the government which
