LANSING IN QUANDARY

VASE iSaroN, Nov. 27.--A request
reached the State Department to-day for
a warship TO convoy the Winnebago OF
the American Transatlantic steamship
Line from Buenos Ayres to New York.
The Winnebago is Of the same fleet as
the Hooking and Genesee. recently
seized by British cruisers on the ground
chat they were OF German ownership.
President Wagner Of the company has
been warned that IL the WinnebRgo at
tempts TO leave port she will meet the

Acting Secretary OF State Polk said
this afternoon tina the Department has
not acted on the appeal. II is CUB
full that the request will be granted be-
cause of the burden which might fall
on the Government II such a precedeht
were established.
The Department has not received
proofs that the line is American owned.
Mr.. Wagner offered TO forward the
names of his stockholders. but so FAR
has failed to subinit any evidence That
would support his claim.
IL was learned this afternoon that the
state Department probably Will ask on

At the time the ship registry law was
