Men From U. s. Cruiser Wash
 ington to Protect Foreigners

Washington, July 29.--American marines were landed yesterday at Port au Prince, Haiti, to protect the lives and property of Americans and other foreigners. Rear Admiral Ca- perton advised the navy department late tonight that he had sent a force ashore from the cruiser Washington.
 There was no firing at the marines, although disorder continued in the city. It was assumed guard had been established at the French lega- ton and at other points to protect foreigners.

 ''I1l think it over, MT. Jenkinson, ' he said. "It's thing that wants thinking over. It's bit out of my line,. you see. I'll let you know in half an hour"
 He descended to the cabin and the mate followed him.
 What the dickens did you mean by pulling my sleeve. Sam?" he demand ede
 Why, skipper" said the mate ex- citedly. you were going to tell that man that you wouldn't land him. saw 1t in your eye. You were going to tell him that you meant to take him back to England. And there he was with bag that's most likely full enough of dynamite to blow this boat into chips"
 "Sam." said the skipper, you ve a head on your shoulders"
 "And lucky for the boat have" an- swered the mate. "Now I tell you what it is:. If we can't get that bag from him-and it's not likely from the way he sticks to it and from what I guess is in it--then we'll have to tell him we'll land him in Holland. That needn't stop us from taking him back to England; for from what I've seen of him, he's such "a landlubber that he'll not notice which way the boats going. When we've landed him, we give him up to the police and we gets the reward. How does that strike you? You and me gets the reward"
 You and me- isn't grammar, Sam" :" said the skipper, somewhat unrleas- antly struck by the phrase.
 Perhaps not" answered the mate; "but it's sense. Two-thirds for you as captain; one-third for me as mate. The crew don't need to know anything about it." >#
 T don't know as you've any moral right to it, Sam," said the skipper thoughtfully. After all. it's my ship"
 And where would it have been if I'd let you tell that man as you were going to take him back ?" inquired the what 1t would have been-matchwood me miserable thirty-f1ve pounds"

I'll go now and tell that chap that we're taking him to Holland"
 But MT. Jenkinson was not on deck. The wind had freshened slightly, and he had retired to his bunk, prey to a violent seismic disturbance within him.
 On being told that he was going to Holland, he groaned, and the skipper understood him to say that he didn't care if he went to Heligoland; though

 "Yes, that's what I can't under stand" said the puzzled skipper. He glanced at the paper again. Small, dark" he said, name of Rasink, but passes under many aliases.

 Nonsense, Satn!" said the skipper you just keep an eye on him and you'll sec"
 Further evidence was at hand Mr. Jenkinson, tired of staring at the sea, came aft in search of company He was a little puzzled by the manner of his reception. There was none of that rough and hearty goodwill which he had supposed characterized those who do business in deep waters. but in- stead, an exaggerated reserve which bordered on shrinking.
 "I should like to speak to you alone, Capt. Brown" he said. The skipper glanced uneasily at the mate.
 "Sam's all right" he said; "any thing you want to say to me you can say in front of Sam. Him and me has no secrets
 For a moment Mir. Jenkinson looked disconcerted. Then he became frank ness itself

I am prepared to give you 20 more if you will land me at any of the smaller ports on the Dutch coast--or even on any part of the shore"
 The skipper made rapid calcula- ton. Ten and 20 were 30. But on the other hand, his suspicious had now become certainties. and he saw his way to 100.
 He was about to declare that he would have nothing to do with the pro- posal, when the mate plucked him vi-

 The skipper pondered.
 There's Sam's bunk" he said "Sam's my mate. He'll have to bunk for'ard"
 They rose. Capt. Brown laid his hand on the strangers bag. MT. Jen- kinson started nervously. "Allow me- he said. T prefer to carry 1t myself .
 Blooming suspicious!" grunted the skipper to himself as he crossed the road "I wonder what's in 1t"
 Once on board, he altered the sleep ing arrangements to every ones sat- isfaction but the mates. MT. Jenk- inson retired to his bunk and entered upon the romance of sea 1ife--a TO- nance in which rats played more prominent part than he had expected.
 But he slept at, last, and so soundly that the casting-on of the little craft failed to awaken him. When he did wake he found that he was at sea.
 There was fresh breeze, and the Nancy was lurching through the waves in gray waste of water and sky. No land was in sight, and to his unpractised eye there seemed lit- tie difference between the North Sea and the mighty ocean for which he had craved.
 It was romantic, no doubt-or would have been had there been a less clammy precipitation upon his forehead.
 He looked astern and saw the skip per busy with the paper which he had been too lazy to read on the previous evening. He seemed very much ab- sorbed, and MT. Jenkinson did net care to disturb him, so he remained by the hatch, holding on to rope, a forlorn little figure closely buttoned in an ulster, his right hand clutching the precious bag.
 Had he known it, Capt. Browns thoughts were occupied with him. The mate came aft and busted himself beckoned to him.
 Sam" he said, "come here min- ute. I want you =
 The mate,1 mindful of his election from his bunk, came sullenly.
 Speak low" said the skipper warn ingly. Who dye suppose we've got on board?"
 The mate had three guesses, nam- ing member of. the royal family, Sequah, and the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, and was told not to be fool
 T only thought" he observed mild ly,"as you wouldn't have turned me out of my berth for any one else"

Original Note Withheld.

Washington, July 29.-Defense of the right of a beliigerent to blockade neutral port, through which an enemy is receiving supplies or at tempting to market his own products is the chief argument to be made in the supplemental note which Great Britain is preparing in reply to the American protest against the enforce ment of the orders-in-council. The original note, received last Monday, mas been withheld from publication at the request of Sir Edward Grey British foreign minister, pending the arrival of the supplemental com munication, which is expected within a week.
 All other issues than that. of the blockade of neutral ports, it is learned, will be regarded by the British government has subsidiary and proper for later discussion. Upon recognition by neutral governments of the principle, from the British viewpoint, depends the ability of a belligerent, which has otherwise es- tablish control of the seas, to profit by the enormous expenditure and sacrifice which made possible that control The matter is all-important in the British view
 Two New Developments.
 Two developments not discussed n the original note will be taken up in the supplemental communication. The first of these is the American cayeat of July IT. conveying the notification that the United States government would not recognize the orders in council as substitute for the pro- visions of international law.
 The second point arose in connec- tion with the enforced unloading on

 A beautiful evening" he said with an effort.
 Capt. Brown nodded.

 s"I don't know that I should value It, though" said Capt. Brown: and there's two sides to every question. x MT. Jenkinson smiled nervously. If you would accompany me to The Three Fishers he said, with a glance across the road, perhaps I could give you reason which would incline you to look favorably on my request.

 My desire for the experience i have already explained to you" said Mir. Jenkinson anxiously.
 You have" said the captain: "and you can put that aside It don't count. Let's have the others"
 The stranger laughed nervously.
 They are 10 in number" he said, and may perhaps appeal to you. They have this further advantage, that they can all be put before you at once."
 He fumbled in his waistcoat pocket and produced 10 sovereigns, which he laid one by one on the table. Capt. Brown looked at them thoughtfully.
 I'm not denying that they're good reasons" he said; land won't say as they won't make me take you with me. But before I do, I'd like to know the reasons for them reasons. You haven't been robbing bank, for example, eh?"

 Quite so," said Mir. Jenkinson. Then it's settled"

that the execution of these orders in council so far has not resulted in any damage to Anne rican trade. Accord ing to the British view, that trade has .Waxed enormously large since the be- ginning of the war, American treas ury figures showing an increase of S20O, ,0OO, 900 in exports during eleven months while the American ocean freight has grown by 744,0OO tons
 As indicating the amount of Ameri- can goods entering Germany and Austria, attention is directed to of ficial statements that the exports of the United Sates to he Netherlands have increased from $93,000O,00O to $122,000,000; 10 Sweden from $12,-a O00,OOO to $71, ,00O, ,00o; to Norway. from s7,o00,000 to $35,Oo0,000 and to Denmark from SIS, 100000 to $70,- 00D.00O.
 That America received a fair sup ply of goods from Germany notwith.., standing the war is shown, the Brit ish government claims, by the fact. that in eight months the imports from that country to the United States aggregated $ss,000,000 and, it is also noted that the import of dyestuffs from Germany were greater than the previous year.

the London docks of the cargo Of the American steamer Necnes, June 24th The ship was enroute from Rotter- dam to New York with a cargo of non-contraband, mostly of German and Belgian origin. It included seF- eral thousand prayer books. rabbit skins. drugs. an deven some cotton. ,rhe British government asserted the r;srt under it's blockade of Germany and that part of Belgium at present under German control, to prevent <lny goods from being exported, the sale of which might aid the enemy finan- cially.
 Argument Necessary.
 Because the principal British argu- ment is directed to that phase of the right of blockade which affects goods sought to be introduced into an en- emy's country, it is believed that the British. foreign office felt it necessary to supplement the original note by an argument extending the claim to the enemy country through a neutral port.
 Civil war precedents in regard to the right of blockade from the ch.ef basis of the British argument, atten' ton being especially called to the fa- nous "Springbok'' case before the United States supreme court, devei- oping the continuous voyage" theory. Though this doctrine which, 1t is as- serted, justifies a belligerent in block ading neutral port, was strongly resisted by European nations, the fact that it was finally accepted in its en- tirety by the Alabama claims arbitra- tion was sufficient to make it an en- during principle of international law. according to the British view. There- fore, the order-i -law-council, which is believed by British officials to be entirely in accord with that theory. will continue to be applied, although with due deference to the protection of legitimate neutral trade.
 American Trade Not Hurt.
 Incidentally 1t is contended by Great Britain in it's communication
