LONDON. March S, 4:15 p.m.-No bel
ligerent government has right to
requisition cargo belonging to a neu-
trail government, according to a de-
cree given out by the prize court to-

The question at issue arose over l,
900 tons of copper sent from the
United States to Gothenberg, Sweden
for, the use of contractors to the
Swedish government. This cargo was
captured by British warship, and an
eX parte order was made by the regis
trar of the prize court releasing the
copper to the British government,
which desired to requsition it for
making guns at the Woolwich arsenal.
The Swedish owners OF the copper
asked the prize court to discharge the
order Of the registrar, and in spite of
the opposition of the attorney general
on behalf of the government. Sir Sam
uel T. Evans. president of the admiral
ty court, decided in favor of the
Swedes. He said the copper ore could
not be disposed of pending the prize
proceedings still to come before the
court.
