investigation.

Washington, Nov. 12.--The Ameri-
can steamship Zeelandia was forcibly
searched by party from q British
cruiser last week when lying in the
port OF Progreso. Mex. The American
consul there reports the cruiser now
lying outside. presumably waiting to
seize the ship.
On the face Of such q report as the
consul sent, even though II 10 incom-
plete, the oficial conclusion here 10
that the British naval authorities not
only violated Mexican neutrality. but
far exceeded their rights in forcibly
searching an American ship in a neu-
tral port.
rorcible searching of an American
ship in q neutral port probably would
constitute one OF the most serious 10
sues to arise between the United
States and Great Britain in the con-
troversy now In the channels OF d.

duct toward American shipping. While
awaiting further details officials were
