Jan. 23.-Adminis tration officials believe tbe cotton ship Dacia sooner or later la bound to go before a British prize court if Bhe undertakes the voyage from Gal veston, Tex., to Rotterdam via Nor folk, but it was pointed -ut today thoy were powerless to avoid tala issue. Tho state depart >nt was present ed with evidence that tho Dacia, a German-owned steamship, had been : auld to on American and under the, law there waa no power to refuse Uer American registry. That Groot . Britain has k right to test the gen uineness of the Charge in registry ts. generally admitted and the proper r thortty to pass on the question is a P.:tish prise court. Apparently the burder, bf proof ls on the purchaser ht view, of the. fact .that the. vessel was bought from a , German company by a ^German-Amer ican and ls carrying cargo destined for Germany. It is pointed out that the United States government is not bound to accept the findings Of a prisa court and If they .appear to be in conflict with the fact and evidence the case may be treated diplomatical ly arter the court baa ruled. The case of tho : food*) aden steam er Wilhelmina, whisk baa cleared frorn^ New^Yojk^>r^^^h^ta^^P Though the exporters of tho ship's food ' cargo appear confident neither tho shtp ncr the food can be detainee hy the British, their confidence is noi 1shared by ali officials here. While lt ls true that the British government nae Indicated an intention of living up to Lord Salisbury's declaration in re gard to the exemption from seizure of food cargoes destined for the ci vi' population nf. belligerent countries. U ! ia pointed out that reservations weir made. It ia not clearly Indicated just what these reserve powers are. but lt has been suggested that the Br it Isl might hold there are no malo civi lians in Germany because all are eli gible to military service.

Bhch on order has been Issued. Brit ish cruisers are kno^a to be on thc watch for the ship. The first disposition ot the state department was to regard the Farn ar a price of the German cruiser Karla ruhe, in'which case under The Hague treaties she would bo required tr leave the -American port Immediately under penalty of the Internment o' th?

LONDON, Jan? 20.-The foreign office has received no advices except press dispatches concerning the pro posed aailing ot the Dacia, the form er Hamburg-American vessel now under the American flag, which will attempt to take a cargo of cotton to Germany. The announcement that alie would sail from Galveston, not withstanding the intention of the British authorities to seise her, creat ed no surprise here. It ia felt the wide publicity given her prospective seizure bad discounted any stir which might otherwise have been created by the incident. Arrangements already have been completed for use of another ship to which the Dacia's cargo, will oe trans ferred at some English port. It gen erally la believed no effort will be made to stop tho vessel until she ap proaches English waters. The sug gestion that she might make the trip from Galveston to Norfolk within the three-mile limit to avoid capture ia regarded aa ridiculous by English of ficials. .
