WILHELMINA CARGO owners
PR0TEST,TO united States

Washington, March 26.-Charles A.
Towne, counsel for owners of the cargo
of the American steamship Wilhelmina,
protested to-day to the State Depart
ment against what he characterized as
unnecessary and unwarrantable deten-
tion of the food cargo which he de-
clared was in danger of loss. Though
the British government, he said had
promised to treat the ease with special
consideration, in view of the conditions
under which the Wilhelmina has sailed
from the United States before an
nouncement of the British order in
council, Mr.. Towne alleged that the
agreement had been violated and in
stead of the allowance of reasonable
profit upon the venture it was now pro-
posed that the cargo should be sold on
the dock for whatever it would bring
Mr.. Towne later called at the Brit
lsh embassy to endeavor to enlist the
assistance of the Ambassador in secur-
ing the advancement of the. legal pro-
ceedings which, he said had now been
postponed by the admiralty court until
after the Easter recess.
London, March 26, 2.25 P. M.-The
Solicitor of the Treasury to-day sent a
letter to the attorneys of the American
steamer Wilhelmina saying that be.
cause of complaints concerning delay
in the hearing of the case of this vessel
before prize court, application would
be made to the prize court to unload
the cargo and sell such part of it as
was deterorating.
The Wilhelmina sailed from New
York for Hamburg January 22 with
cargo consisting of 200 tons of grain,
flour and general food products for
Hamburg. She was taken into custody
by British marine authorities, since
when her ease has been pending.
A. q. Hays, attorney for the Will
helmina, discussing the solicitors let
ter to-day said:
"This looks as if the British govern
ment had determined to sell the cargo
of the Wilhelmina and settle the case
without deciding the substantial ques-
tions at issue.
