The Rus slnn government has not yet returned an answer to British Ambassador Harding, relative to his government's protest at. Russia's declaration that rice and other foodstuffs are contra band of war, but the Associated Press learns that there i^ no intention on the part uf the government to make modifications to meet the British view. The protest is based on the rule observed by Great Britain during the Boer war, that- even foodstuffs des tined for a hostile country could be considered contraband of war only if Intended for nil enemy's forces. A high Russiai\^f)fllcial called attention to the fact that at the breaking out of the war ftussia was compelled to stop at San Francisco a cargo of meat des tined for Vladisvostock, in order to avoid its possible capture in conse quence of the Japanese declaration that if would be regarded as contra band. ? > "Rice is an important article of food in the Japanese army, and the question whether it should be de clared contraband was carefully con sidered when the regulations were being framed," said this official, "and the declaration roported by Russia entirely justified such an action. The llrittsh government is disposed to re gard the question as an academic one, but should steamers which are being equipped as auxiliary cruisers pro ceed to the Pacific and make captures of ships loaded with provisions/ com plications could easily arise."
