But it seemed pretty certain that
Wilkes, by his fortnight action, must
have offended the British flag to an
extent that might even lead to an actual
alliance between Great Britain and the
Confederacy.
The reaction from abroad was slow
in reaching America. Sailing time was
two weeks each way across the Atlantic
in those days. When the reaction did
come, it had SOLDERING effect on the
Federal Government, if not on the gen.
eral public. Queen Victoria's govern
ment was, indeed, deeply offended.
Through diplomatic channels notably
Richard Bickerton Pencil Lyons, First
Earl, or Lord" Lyons, British Minister
to Washington Her Majesty demanded
immediate release of the prisoners. In
the same motion, Britain also loaded
5000 troops to be dispatched to Canada
and declared an embargo on Shipment
of war goods that might aid the North.
Somehow. though, there was some
thing uncOnvincing about the show of
belligerence. For one thing, there was
talk that the troop stores might be per-
mitted by an indulgent U. S. to be sent
to Canada overland through Maine,
since the st. Lawrence River was frozen
at the time.

Background

THE seizure of Confederate Com
IL missioners James Mason and John
Slidell from the British steamer Trent
on November 8 evoked nothing but
praise in the North for Capt. Charles
Wilkes, who committed the act on the
open seas in the name of the United
States Government. The public and
most of officialdom were all for striking
medals and otherwise honoring the old
sea-dog.
The South, too, had reason for jubi-
lation Mason and Slidell we're being
sent abroad to coax more sympathy and
support from Britain and France. No
body knew how effective they might be.

This seemed to be suggested

today about possible methods
for bringing alerted units up

Under the law, a member of
an Army Reserve outfit or an
individual reservist cannot be
transferred involuntarily to a
National Guard unit while that
unit is still under control of a
State. He may be assigned only
temporarily to a Guard outfit
for training.
However, he may be "deS-

Cuban Ship
Case Argued

NORFOLK, Va, Aug. "a CAP)
The protracted hearing over
the 3,800-ton Cuban freighter
Bahia de Nipe resumes today
in United States District Court
with arguments over the ques-
ton of sovereign immunity.
After first declaring he would
not consider the immunity ques-
ton, Judge Walter E. Hoffman
later changed his mind and the
debate began last night in the
hearing. that has continued
since last Saturday.
Judge Hoffman began the
hearing on a show cause order
in which he asked the Coast
Guard to explain why it should
keep United States marshals
from attaching the sugar-laden
vessel to settle debts against
her former owners.
The freighter arrived here
last Thursday after it's master,
Capt. Jorge Gustin Navarro,
and 10 crewmen imprisoned %
other crewmen and diverted the
Bahia de Nipe, headed for un-
disclosed Communist ports. The
captain and crewmen have been
granted political asylum in this
country.
A Justice Department ad-
miralty lawyer argued last night
the court could not look into
the departments assertion that
the freighter was government
property and entitled to sover-
eign immunity. He said "the
suggestion of immunity fore
closes examination of owner
ship"
The doctrine Of sovereign i'm
munity protects the property of
a government from seizure, and
Cuba has claimed government
ownership of the vessel.
