The communication points out the peculiar necessities of belligerents, but ls phrased tn a spirit of frankness and friendliness, hutch emphasis is placed on the necessity for careful search of all' argoes which appear suspicious. / Great Britain appreciates that the United States does hot deny a belli gerent's right to search on the high seas, but is understood to have ex plained that since'this rule of inter national law waa Mt up tho else of vessels has changed, 3?nd examinations at sea cannot be conducted fewlth as much facility as Iv ?otated m*t ^MrrjW^iy,ltiTrHiro scare Ahe merchant liner or thc pres ent day at sea.

J Remedies for many difficulties which have arisen are daily being de vised, Great - Britain has pointed ont. and steps taken by the United States to verify manifests will assist in re moving causee for delay. As to articles put on the contraband list, such as rosin, and turpentine, the British government baa applied the doctrine of President Lincoln that ab solute contraband consists of all ma terials susceptible of use in making munitions of war. The British have discovered that these products are es sential to the. manufacturo of some forum of ammunition and will insist that .under international law they muBt be regarded as absolute contra band. ' ? partial remedy tor the situation; however, is being sought In arrange ments ?or consignment of naval stores from .the United States to neu tral countries so that American ships can ta,kc their naval stores as ballast for cotton .cargoes, sell the contra band to neutral countries and send their cotton to belligerent countries without further molestation.
