July 19.?Without discussing in any way tbe international questions involved the newspapers here are all rejoicing over the exploits of the volunteer tleet steamers in the Red sea. The Novoe Vromya says the work they are doing indicates the wisdom of establishing the fleet, which was begun by national subscription when the country was too impoverished to build the vessels after the Turko-Russian war.

London, July 19.?In British official circles the recent seizures and over hauling of British ships in the Red sea by the Russian volunteer fleet steamers Smolensk and St. Petersburg, are regarded as very grave international incidents. The seizure of the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Malacca by the St. Petersburg and her arrival in the Suez canal as a prize of war on her way to Libau, on the Baltic, has come as a climax and the-cabinet today is considering the course to pursue. The British law officers acknowledge the right of the Russians to seize and detain mails provided that only official communications are taken, buf they take the most serious view of the chiefly In regard to the passage^*! these erstwhHe merchant ^ ahlisl through the Dardennelles and their s subsequent transformation into ships of war.
