CONTROVERSY WITH ALLIES
BRITISH REFUSE SAFE CONDUCT
TO AUSTRIAN ENVOY.
UnfavorabIe Action Comes az Surprise
to State observation-disclosures Of
America Undecided.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Another con.
troversy between the American gov
eminent and the Allies is in prospect
as a result of the refusal Of the Brit
ish government to grant safe conduct
to Count Tarnowski, the newly ap-
pointed Austro-Hungarian ambassador
to the United States.
In the absence of official advices on
the subject the State department was
not in position to forecast tho course
the government is likely to pursue.
Action of British Is Surprise.
It was made evident, however, that
the unfavorable action of the British
foreign office on the notice of the in
tention of the new ambassador to cross
the Atlantic to his post, came as an
unpleasant surprise.
Aside from the belief that England
would not desire to arouse adverse
feeling in the United States by inter-
ference with the ancient and general
ly unquestioned right of a neutral gov
eminent to receive an ambassador or
minister, officials had counted upon
Great Britain's record in the Mason
and Slidell case to prevent such an &C.
ton.
