WILL NOT ALLOW
STEAMER DAC|A
MAKE PASSAGE
State Department Notified
That British Government
Will Not Consent to Re-
cent German Steamship
To Proceed Safely To
Rotterdam.
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE British
government will not consent to allow
the steamer Dacia, recently transfer
red from German to American regis
try, to proceed to Rotterdam under
safe conduct with her cargo of cotton,
the state department was notified to-
day from London.
The British reply to suggestions for
a safe conduct recently made by the
state department came through the
American embassy. While the text
of the message was withheld, it was
known the British objection was based
broadly on reluctance to create a pre-
cedent which probably would be fol-
lowed by similar purchases in Amer
lea of German ships and efforts to
operate them in the German trade
routes.
The British note does not under
take to assert the right OF Great Brit
ain to interfere with ships purchased
and transferred to the American flag
in legitimate way. The objection
to the transfer of the Dacia, accord
ing to the British view, is that it
was not genuine, it being intimated
the British government believes the
American purchaser really was act
ing for German principals.
The Dacia's cotton cargo is not sub
ject to seizure and the British note
leaves it to be inferred that if the
owners of the cotton do not make
other arrangements for it's shipment
to Germany and the Dacia puts to
sea, the cotton will either be unloaded
in an English port and placed at the
disposal of the owners to forward 20
Germany by another and neutral ship
or be appropriated by England upon
payment of its invoice value.
The state department has informed
Mr.. Breitung, owner Of the ship, of
England's refusal to promise not to
seize the Dacia. AS he has stated to
the department that the freight
charges upon the cotton would about
equal the purchase price of the ship,
it is assumed he will take the chance
Dacia IS seized, will go before a Brit
ish prize court.
State department officials believe the
court would liberate the Dacia If the
British government is content, as It
says it is, to take its stand on the
genuineness OF the transfer, in view
of the evidence on that point sub
mitted to the department.

NO OFFICIAL NOTICE
TO STAY EXECUTION

Sheriff Ellis is in receipt Of no ofd-
cial notice to stay the execution of
the two negroes, Thomas and Maddox,
and the darkies are yet, SO far as the
sheriff is concerned, under sentences to
die On Friday of next week. OF course
the sheriff will be informed officially
Of the fact that the writ, which OBJ
crates against the execution of the
two wretches, has been issued but up
to yesterday afternoon he had heard
Of 1t only through the newspapers and
the counsel for the negroes.
The latter have been informed that
they will not be executed on January
20, but they do not know just when
to look for the hangman. Their pho
tographs have been made, and one Of
them proudly displays on the lapel Of
his coat a cross which one of the
spiritual advisers who have called to

FIRED At MAN
FOUND IN YARD
TOM M'HuGH SHOT THREE TIMES
AT UNKNOWN MAN AT HIS
HOME ON WEST WRIGHT ST.

Accosted by q stranger In his own
yard early last night Tom McHugh
fired three shots at the man as he
fled, but apparently all missed their
mark. Mr.. McHugh resides with his
parents on West Wright street and
was returning home shortly after 0
o'clock, when he was accosted just
inside his gate. He showed the man
a revolver and the latter ran.
It was also reported to the police
last night that Joseph Santo, while es-
corting a young lady to her homo In
the western portion of the city. was
followed by two men out West Ro-
mana street, who acted in a very sus-
picious manner until they found they
had been noticed.

fighting at scissors is over. Both
sides apparently are bringing up rein
forcements and some stiff encounters
soon should develop.
The capture of several German field
works on the east bank Of the Meuse
river, which, according to the French
official statement, were taken by as
sault is about the only notable change
in the west.
There has been no change to speak
of in the east, barring some Russian
gains on the central Poland front and
the reported crushing of the Turkish
army which tried to make a stand at
Kara Urgan. The Russians claim to
have obtained good foothold In Tran
sylvania but they have not yet in
yaded that country in force.
AS the Russian menace to Hungary
becomes more of a reality, reports that
Hungary is seeking a separate peace
are aeing revived in London. None can
be confirmed, but they insist that Hun
gary is willing to make any sacrifice
rather than to submit to invasion.

arms to protect themselves and the
office emplc yes.
The strike at the plant has con-
tinued for two weeks. According to
the company's statement, approx
mately half of their 400 employees are
affected. The strikers are unskilled
laborers, it is said who quit work
when their demand for an increase OF
40 cents day was refused. They re-
ceiye approximately 50 a day. No
other class of workers, it was said,
had been affected The plant is still
in operation.
There had been frequent clashes be-
tween the strikers, pickets and work
men and deputies at the plant. A
number of shots were fired in an en-
counter yesterday, but no one was
hurt.
Accounts of the fighting varied. The
strikers, through their leaders denied
they had placed ties on the car tracks,
but said that as the train drew into
the station they met it and asked per-
mission to go through the cars to see
IL there were any strike breakers on
board. That, they said, was given
them, and six of their number started
through the train.
AS they came out of the rear coach
the strikers said, other strikers set
up shout. That brought the deputies
on the run down the road.
According to the strike leaders the
total casualty list was 19 and one Of
the injured Michael Bey died on the
way to hospital. At two hospitals
in Elizabeth, one of which received
twelve of the injured and the other
two, it was said that one man was in
critical condition but that none had
died. The wounded, most of whom
were foreigners, were suffering both
from buckshot wounds and bullets.
The county prosecutor announced he
would hold a hearing to investigate
the shooting.

CARGO POTASH
HERE. SHIPPED
FROM HOLLAND
REPUTED TO BE THE FIRST SHIP
MENT SINCE THE LIFTING OF
AN EMBARGO, SOME WEEKS
AGo-vEssEL IN A STORM.

Bringing the first cargo of potash
salts to the United States since the
lifting OF the embargo upon the prod
uct, it is claimed, the Swedish steam
ship Atlanten arrived yesterday, and
was berthed Immediately in the rail-
road slip, where the entire shipment
will be discharged. The Atlanten, in
the course of her voyage, encountered
what was described as the most bois-
ferrous of weather, and while the
steamer was not damaged to any ex-
tent, the cargo was slightly damaged,
and of course that portion will not
be stored with the rst-grade stuff.
The steamer was forced to take re-
fuge at st. Michaels, where an ex-
animation was conducted. 1t was
found, after delay of a day, that the
vessel was practically unchanged, and
the voyage was continued.
When the Atlanten left Rotterdam,
it was with the understanding that
New York was her destination, but
these sailing orders were later changed
and the steamer was routed here. This,
therefore, makes one of the first, If
not the first, cargo, received in the
states since the lifting of the en-
barge.
The importance of this importation
is very great, as the following from
the New York Herald of recent date
will disclose:
The news in the Herald yesterday
40 ~ he her
go on potash salts was received with
widespread interest among importers
and users of the product, as it was
the first intimation that many of
them had received of the action.
After reading the article the head
of a firm of heavy importers of pot
ash salts called at the office of the
Herald to obtain further information
on the subject.
1T was the first news that we had
received that the embargo had been
lifted or that such action was contem-
plated in the near future" he said.
I'VE .aaye been unable to confirm
the matter through our agents in Rot
terdam, but If it is true the news is.
of vast Importance to this country.
Hundreds of lines of manufacture
have practically been shut down al
together since the beginning of the
war because of the shortage of the
salts, and with the shipments started
again thousands of men will be en-
abled to return to their employment"
He said that his firm had been able
to obtain few shipments of minor
but the aggregate
of the product brought into
this country has been only a pittance
to what has been needed.
Every pressure had been brought to
bear to have the embargo lifted, he
added, but the parties interested in
the movement, as far as he knew, had
not been as successful as those WHO
to obtain shipments of ami
line dyes.
The news Of the resumption Of pot
ash shipments, as published in the
Herald, came from a trustworthy
who are financially
in the initial shipments. It
was learned yesterday that the first
cargo Is to come to New York. The
second cargo to clear from Rotter-
dam, 1t was said, is to go to Jackson
Vile, Fla, and is consigned wholly to
Of fertilizers.
