Stockholm, Feb. 1.-The Baltic Sea has been converted into an isolated lake owing to the closing of the Catte- gat and the sound by ice.
 Five steamships, including the Thule from London with twenty-seven pas sengers are held fast in a dangerous position off the Vinga Lighthouse.
 Four American famine relief car goes are ice bound in the Elbe but fifteen ships, bearing nearly 100, 900 tons of corn, are beginning to arrive at Black Sea ports, whence transpor- tation facilities are available to all the American feeding centers-
 The ice blockading the Swedish coast is of enormous thickness, and the wind is continuing to press the ice against the shore, increasing the danger for the ships caught in the pack. Two steamers already have foundered, their plates being crushed in by the ice. The crews escaped in other vessels.
 The big Danish freighter- Tranque- bar, from Galveston and Norfolk (January 20) for Copenhagen, a $500 ton steamer, and over a score of other vessels are imperilled. The ice breakers which ordinarily would go to the rescue of the imprisoned era t. are themselves stuck fast in the Ice.
