her discarded nationality. To meet

flag which flew over the steamship
Dacia, captured last week by French

consul at Brest Mr.. Breitung addressed
a message inquiring why the Dacia
was detained and why her flag was
hauled down, and requesting the con-
sui to look after his interests there.

"The American government would
not have granted this vessel the right
