of food prices Won -Holl-
veg, the German imperial chancellor
declared that the population of the
country could be completely assured
that the hopes of the entente powers
of starving out Germany would be
disappointed, says the Overseas News
agency. The agency adds:
"Appreciating the fact that the So
cialist party was convinced that Ger
many possessed sufficient supplies Of
food, the imperial chancellor declared
that the authorities had further de-
cided to remove all speculation in
bread.
"Dr. Won Bethmann-H Hollweg ex-

signs of weakening in the energy Of

Washington, Nov. 12.--Still without

liner AncOna was sunk, state depart
ment officials took no further steps to-
day in the situation.
1t is believed details probably will

visit to the Italian foreign office is ex-
pected to develop at least whether the
Ancona was torpedoed without warn
ing or whether shots were fired at the
vessel after she had stopped. Until
definite information is available on
these points any representations to
Austria-Hungary will be withheld.
The impression in official quarters,
based upon press dispatches, is that
the vessel tried to escape, and that
those of her passengers who were
lost were drowned in the panic that
ensued when she was halted.

In this country are implicated in the

British Explanation OF Search Of
Steamer Denied by Her Master.

New York, Nov. 13.-How the
American steamer Zealandia was
boarded and searched November s
by officers and sailors from a British
cruiser afterwards said to be the
Isis, while lying at anchor northwest
OF Progreso, Mex, is told by Paul
Devantier, the steamers captain, in
a statement made public here today
by the Fiske Trading company, the
Aealandias owners -cpt. Devanticr
claims that this We - vas within the
three mile terrific . Saters of Mexi-
CO. but the office y Command of The
cruise signalled = lhe time that he
was not of the : opinion, accord
ing to Capt. De er.
''Since the of this protest.

TIE British = 4, VIC have received
Geographic As," reads the Fiske
company's nent, Ito the effect
that the authorities of Pro-
greso have tally ascertained that
the zealandia was anchored at the
usual discharging place and was
within three miles of land"
After the Zealandia had been
boarded and searched, Capt. Devan-
tier protested to the British consul at
Progreso, leaving a copy of his pro-
test with the American consul there.
A copy of this protest, giving Capt.
Devantier's version of the incident, is
embodied in the Ffske company's
statement.
Capt. Devantiers statement says, in
conclusions:
THE port doctor of Progreso, DR..
Aleonzo Hernandez, who had visited
the said cruiser in an official capacity,
boarded the Zealandia and while
aboard stated that the cruisers name
was the Isis. and that she had arrived
from Jamaica"
On it's own behalf the Fiske Trad
ing company says:
"The statement Of the British au-
thorities that the vessel did not have
its papers aboard is evidently made
for the sole purpose Of deceiving tli6
American public since not only did
the British naval officers know that,
in accordance with shipping laws and
customs, the ships papers were de-
posted with the American consul, but
the British consul at Progreso even
demanded an inspection Of these
papers from the American consul"

Washington, Nov. 13.-The captain
of the American steamer Zealandia
forcibly searched by a British cruiser
at Progreso, Mexico, denies that his
ship was outside the three-mile limit
and therefore was in a neutral port.
in direct contradition of the British
commanders report that the Zea-
landia was outside the territorial linn
its of Mexico.
Efforts will be made by the State
department to determine just where
the vessel was and the American con-
sci at Progreso has been instructed
to take affidavits of witnesses. Off
cials Of the State department say
riuch may depend upon the intent of
the commander of the cruiser, should
1t be found that the Zealandia actual
ly was within the three-mile limit.

Legal Visit on tho High Seas.

AcSuI SlslC OH tllC High Seas.
Washington, Nov. 12.-An explana-
ton Of the recent search of the
American steamship Zealandia by
British sailors off Progreso, Mexico,
was made at the State department
today by Charge Barclay of the
British embassy, who said the vessel
was on the high seas at the time and
not in Mexican territorial waters as
has been alleged.
The Healandia, Mr.. Barclay told
Counselor Polk, was anchored about
e-quarters of mile outside Of the
line of Mexican waters and was board
ed by a party from British cruiser
and searched for contraband.
Mr.. Barclay said that because the
ship was\f1ying the American flag she
was not molested, although no docu-
ment was found aboard to show her
nationality or registry. These facts
were reported to the British ad-
miralty, and, it was explained, were
given to the State department for
any action the United States govern
ment might desire to take.
The Zealandia carries q cargo of
rosin, which is used in the manufac-
ture Of explosives, and is said to be
manned chiefly by Germans. There
we. reports that she flew the Ger
man flag during the voyage from
Pensacola, Fla, to PrOgreso.
