BRITISH SEARCH U. S. SHIP.
Act Committed in Port Of Proareso,
Observation-Disclosures Ordered.


Mexico-lnvestigati Ordered.
Washington. Nov 12.-The Ameri-
can steamship Zeelandia was foreibly
searched by a party from British
cruiser last week when lying in the
Port OF Progreso, Mexico. The Ameri-
can consul there reports the cruiser
now lying outside. presumably wait
ing to seize the ship.
On the face of such report as the
consul sent. even though it is incom-
plete. the official conclusion here is
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.
Forcible searching Of an American
ship in a neutral port probably would
constitute one of the most serious is
sues to arise between the United
States and Great Britain in the con-
troversy now in the channels of d.
plomacy over the British navy's con-
duct toward American shipping.
