sudden appearance Of the former Ger

which il had been assumed was com

cruisers short and Intellectual duel
with Russian warship and her subse-
ouent DISAPPEARANCE was received here
with considerable surprise. 1t was
e.ated. however, that the Russian hee'
which was guarding the entrance to
tho Bosporous from the Black Sea had
been compelled by the necessity OF con
centratine elsewhere temporarily 70
relax its vigilance and thus permit the
Breslau 20 slip by 49,.
The Breslau now is apparently cut
of from her base by Russian subma-
ines near the Bosporus, which are
sbowing great activity. and II ls
,bougbt here that the cruiser VIII even
tnallv be cornered by the Russian
Black Sea feet. r.,
The Breslau appeared not far iron,
shore between Trebizond and Ofa, and
her intention evidently was by BON
harding the Russian coast positions 10
adon. the tactics so successfully en-
nioyed bv the Russian feet against the
Tnrkish land forces, but she was forcea

ALLIES ASSERT RIGHT
TO DETAIk u. s. MAIL
COntraband in Parcel Post Held
TO Justify Action.

Washington, April ASSERTING that
the German government has persistently
destroyed mail steamers and the mails
on board without a word Of neutral
protest, while organized efforts have
been made TO get contraband into Ger
many in the mails, Great Britain and
France. in identical notes made public
by the State Department to-day, assert
their right 10 detain and examine all
mails 10 and from Germany.
Exhibits furnished with the notes are
advanced 10 show further that the
United States explicitly condoned the
destruction of parcel post matter on
the French liner Floride by the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich. This appears in let
ter from the Postofiice Department TO
the French authorities, informing them
Of the destruction Of their mails, and
adding that the action was based on the
Declaration of London, according 70
which parcels are merchandise and not
espondence.
This note also asserts that the search
of mails going TO Germany has resulted
in the interception OF quantities OF
contraband. One thousand three hun
bred and two parcels contained about
half a ton OF rubber ana slNtS-hihe O'h-
er parcels seized on one steamer gong
10 Amsterdam contained 400 revolvers
for Germany.
The official translation Of the reply
Of France and Great Britain TO the pro-
test Of the United States against selI-
tres and dctentions Of neutral mails
vas made public tonight by the state
department. Substantially it is the
same as the unofficial translation OF the
French text published several days ago;
The reply is in the form OF Identical
lansing with brief note Of trans
initial from the British and French am
bassadors. It denies any violation OF
neutral rights and asserts the rlght and
intention Of the Allies to treat mer-
chandise shipped by parcel post NE
way. but promises that legitimate neu-
tral mails will not be subjected to
avoidable delay.
