Capt. c. F. Hughes, of the navy, former

board, has been assigned to give an ex-
pert opinion as to whether the Deutsch-

Meanwhile the British and French

amounts to an indirect protest against
the Deutschland's presence in an Ameri-
can port to Mr.. Polk. The form of this
communication is request for the
United States to determine the exact
status of the vessel.
