Ing the Civil war by Secretary Seward.
The question OF ultimate destination
also is argued in legal detail.
| To justify the detention of suspect
ed cargoes passing between neutral
countries, and taking them into ports
for examination, the cases of American
practice during the Spanish-American
war are cited and the note says these
precedents are inconsistent with the
| statement Of the American govern
ment to the British ambae sador at
Washington November Z. which insists
that search should be made on the
high seas "at the time of the visit"
and that the conclusion of the search
| should rest upon the evidence found
on the ship under investigation and
not upon circumstances ascertained
from external sources"
Search Must Be Made in Still Water.
The foreign secretary reiterates that
! the increased size of steamships nec-
essitates search In calm waters, and
| insists that during the Russo Japanese
war and also during thc second Bal
kan war British vessels were made to
deviate from their course and follow
| the cruisers TO some spot where the
right of visit and search could be
more conveniently carried out" and
in both cases. although questioned
at first. Great Britain finally ac-
f, ,.quiesced."
To take ship into port. the note
! contends, is not to be looked upon
, "as new belligerent right. but as
| an adaptation of the existing right
| to the modern conditions OF com.
| merce," and, 1t must be exercised with
due regard to neutral interests and 1:
| would be unreasonable to expect a
Neutral vessel to make long devia-
: tions from her course for this pur-
+, pose" For this res ION, It Is asserted,
| neutral merchantmen were encourage
ed to visit some British port on their
route. M
Neutrals Have Suffered IN All Wars.
Realizing that in no war that has
yet been waged have neutral indi-
viduals, mot occasionally suffered
from unjustified belligerent action"
| Great Britain suggests that oppor-
/ tunities for adequate compensation
are offered in the British prize
courts.
''It Is the common experience of
every war; continues the note, that
! neutrals whose attempts to engage in
suspicious trading are frustrated by
belligerent,rar are wont TO, have re-
| course to their government to urge
that diplomatic remonstrances should
| be made on their behalf and that re-
| dress is open to them in the courts
of a civilized country by which they
can obtain adequate satisfaction for
any invasion of their rights which
