BRITISH SEARCH U. S. SHIP.
Act Committed In Port Of Progreso
Neutrality-suspicious. Ordered.

Washington, Nov l2.-The Amer1-
can steamship Zeelandia was forcibly
searched by party from a British
cruiser last week when lying IN the
Port Of Progreso, Mexico The Ameri-
can consul there reports the cruiser
now lying outside, presumably wait
ing to seize the ship.
On the face of such report as the
consul sent, even though it is incom-
plete, the official conclusion mere is
that the British naval authorities not
only violated Mexican neutrality, but
far exceeded their rights in forcibly
searching an American ship in neu.
tral port
Forcble searching Of an American
ship in a neutral port probably would
constitute one Of the most serious is-
sues to arise between the United
States and Great Britain in the con
troversy now in the channels OF d.
plomacy over the British navy's con
duct toward American shipping.

Dog Heroes of the Alps -
BY GARRETT p. sERVIss.

The dog is an admirable and useful
animsl-outsde of cities. His whole ma
ture units him for city life, and under
the influences of that life he degenerates.
Among the nobcst of all dogs in char
acter and appearance are the celebrated
St. Bernards. whose history is a remark
able example of what training and en-
vironment will do with animals.
The st. Bernard dog takes his name
from the old hospice of st Bernard
which was established nearly 1000 years
ago, ON the summit of the pass bearing
the same name. which leads from the
valley OF the Rhone, at Martigny in
Switzerland, over to the Italian side Of
the Alps. 1t is the pass over which
Napoleon led his army in 1900 1t is said
to have been in use by the Romans 100.
years before Christ.
The famous hospice or asylum of re-
fuge, was established by Augustinian
monks, led by st. Bernard of Mention
and, it owes its celebrity largely to its
dogs 1t would not he easy to find an
other instance OF the development Of a
new and distinctive breed of animals as
a, part of the daily work of a religious
institution. For hundreds OF years the
monks OF St Bernard have devoted them
selves TO the service of travellers going
over the Alps. and first of all to the aid
OF unfortunstes lost in the SHOWS Of the
pass. In the performance of this self
imposed duty they early found need OF
the assistance of dogs. and many CEN
turtles ago they began to develop the type
of dog known 10 us as the st. Bernard.
The precise time and manner of the
origin OF the first St Bernard dogs are
not certainly known. II is said by some
that the stock came from the Spanish
side Of the Pyreness. At any rate. It
seems to have been demonstrated that
the original breed is extinct and that the
present strain was developed by the
monks from a cross between some noun
tain dog and a Great Dane. The original
type Is said to have been kept pure until
about the first of the nineteenth century.
Fifty or sixty years ago English dos
fanciers began to import st. Bernards
