SOON TO SETTLETHE ISSUE
OVER SCHOONER CARGO
Claim of German Government for
Arms and Ammunition Seized,
Subject of Inquiry.

What shall become OF the cargo of
arms and ammunition taken from the
schooner Annie Larsen, and claimed by
the German government, probably will
be determined soon by the State De-
partment. The case has been before
several government departments for
months. The Secretary of the Treasury
has forwarded to Secretary Lansing a
report of customs officials regarding
the munitions. which are stored at
Hoquiam. Wash.
When the Larsen left San Diego, Cal,
in March of last year IL was understood
the $500 rifles and 10000 rounds of am
munition aboard were to be landed at
Topolobampo, Mexico. Later, however,
she turned up with her cargo at Grays
harbor. south of Puget Sound. and was
seized by the customs office. The ques-
ton of whether a violation of neutral
ity had occurred has been under inves-
LEGATION by the Department of Justice.
The German government in asking pos
session of the war cargo, has not ex-
planned, IT is understood, for what pur-
pose it was purchased, nor why the ship
returned still laden to an American
port.
