Americans Were Aboard.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-Earlier In
the day a cablcgram from Consul
Stewart Of Pcruambuco announced
the landing there of the 81. Theodore =
crew. including nine Americans. by
the japanese steamer Hudson Maru,
another OF the raiders prizes The
consul said the other ships captured
were believed to have had no Ameri-
cans aboard.
The report of the arming of the
St Theodore, British vessel, was
given out with the explanation that
the department had no means of de-
tcrmining its accuracy. Officials were
inclined to credit the story tho. and
TO look for word that other captured
ships would be similarly used.
No Rights Violated.
Despite the intense interest with
which the raiders work is being fol-
lowed here. official dispatches do not
as yet indicate that American rights
have been violated in any way or that
the cruiser has exceeded her privi-
leges under international law.
The attitude of the South Ameri-
can nations Is being watched with
particular interest here, as it Is rec
ogniZed that the raiders exploits have
stirred public opinion there To as great
"A degree as the exploits Of the G-53
stirred public opinion here. A prac-
teal blockade of many ports. n jump
in insurance rates and gripping OF Il
highly prosperous foreign trade are
the results facing the South Ameri-
