Cotton Ship Was Being Towed to England When
 Taken ty German Sub.
U. s. TO PROTEST
 GERMANY'S. ACTION
Will Object to Disposition of Ship and Cargo Being Determined by German Prize Court, as Cotton Not Con-
 traband and Owned by Neutral.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Upon re- ceipt of advices from the American consul at Hamburg that Germany will refer to it's prize court the case of the American barque Pass of Balmaha and it's cargo of cotton, the state de- vartment prepared to send protest to the German government regarding the detention of cargo that is not contraband. se
 Consul Morgan reported today that the cargo of the Pass of Balmaha is being unloaded at the German port of Gegeestemunde.
 The situation reported is a novel one, and presented new problem for the state department. When the yes sel was seized by Germany, British officers were hiding aboard, indicat- Ing previous seizure of the vessel by Great Britain.
 It is understood that Great Britain was taking the vessel to British port, when German submarine took the prize away. The British prize crew was imprisoned.
 It is the contention of the state department that the title of the cargo. however, had not passed to Great Britain, as cotton is not contraband, snd therefore Germany cannot hold the vessel and cargo as British prop erty.

 New Orleans, Aug. 16.-Driven by the terrific wind of the great hurri- cane passing further south in the gulf of Mexico, an immense tidal wave this afternoon struck the lower louisiana coast, burying Grand Island to depth of six feet. and inundating other points along Barataria bay and that section of the coast, where there are known to be pleasure and fish, ing settlements under from six to ten feet of water.
 Practically all of the settlement at Grand Island is reported, through the weal her bureau, to have been inun- dated by the tidal wave.
