dispatch from Major General Karko

change June 9, June 10 and June 11,
in the position of the troops in the i
neighborhood of Vanfangow station,

flay Seize Brendstuffs,
8i. Petersburg, By ("able. ? 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."
Diplomatic circles are interested in
the attitude the United Slates will
adopt In the matter.
