SENT WARNING NOTE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
PROTESTS TO ENGLAND ON
OBsTRUcTlNG SEA.
CAUSED A SENSATION THERE
British People Regard This as One of
Most important Events of Whole
War-May Cause Friction
Honest Manifest Demanded.

London, Dec Bottle American
ncte protesting against the British
treatment of American commerce and
insisting upon an early improvement
came as a complete surprise TO the
British public, as there had been vir-
tually no intimation that any friction
had arisen between the two govern
ments.
The placards posted by the evening
papers were given over exclusively TO
the American note. and the papers
gave it the largest headlines they have
given any news during the last month
Consequently the British people re-
garded this as one of the most impor-
tant occurrences of the whole war.
Nothing of the kind since President
Cleveland's Venezuelan message has
produced such a sensation.
The first impression of the public is
that the note may create friction, and
perhaps some unfriendly feeling, al
though the newspapers point out that
it specifically states that the repre-
sensations were made2 in a friendly
spirit. The sitpation is comparabel to
that which arose at the time OF the
South African war when neutral ship
pers began to send cargoes intended
for the Transvaal republic to the neu-
trail port of Delagoa bay
To Support Only Honest Manifests.
Washington.-Pre Wilson has
appealed to American shippers of non
contraband goods, such as cotton, not
to allow their cargoes to be mixed
with contraband articles. The United
States government, he announced
could deal confidently with the diff
culties which had arisen in the treat
ment of American commerce by Great
Britain only if supported by absolute
ly honest manifests.
This statement followed a discus
sion by the president with his cabinet
of the general shipping situation, and
of the note dispatched to Great Brit
ain protesting at length against the
British policy of prolonged detentions
of cargoes and other interference with
American trade.
Publication of synopsis of the note,
the contents of which was confirmed
at the White House and state depart
ment, aroused much interest, not only
in diplomatic circles, but in congress
and official quarters generally. Many
diplomats of European and South

take all the time necessary to obtain
desired artistic effects.

to prevail in Berlin that Prince Henry

Incidental to the note of the United
States to Great Britain, insisting on
early Improvement in the treatment
accorded American commerce by the
British fleet, President Wilson has ap-
pealed to American shippers of non
contraband goods not to permit con
traband articles to be shipped with
them. President Wilson says the gov
eminent could deal with the shipping
situation only if shippers used honest
manifests. Referring TO the note adj
dressed to Great Britain, the president
declared that large damages eventu-
ally will have to be paid by Great
Britain for unlawful detention of
American cargOes.
