Am-rleae Flour Is Relsaeeg.
London, Jan. Kb—The American
flour seised off Delagoa bay haa been
released. United State* Amboaeadot
Choate had an interview with the Mar
gate of Salisbury this afternoon and r»>
oelved a verbal reply to th* reprstenla-
tioae of th* Washington government.
Th* Britiah nets on this subject was
zeal later to th* United Blaise embassy.
Th* gist of it was eaUjefi to Washington.
LORD SALISBURY'S REPLY.
Ausw-r cf the British Premier t*
Demands by America.
Washington, Jan. 10.—The eieentiai
points in the tentative answer of Lord
Salisbury to the demand made on him
by Ambassador Choate for a declara
tion of policy and a concession of lia
bility in the matter of the, seizures oi
American flonr in cargoes on the Ma-
sbena, the Beatrice and the Maria are:
1. Great Britain offers to pay an in
demnity to the American citizone whose
cornmeal and flonr were seized by the
British cruisers near Delagoa bay, the
extent of tho claims to bo determined
by a commission.
2. Great Britain will not declare corn,
moal and flour to be contraband when
proof is not positive that tbo foodetnffl
are intended for the camp of the enemy.
8. Great Britain contends that she
has not violated the rights of a neutral
power by the seizure of this cornmeal
and flour, but that, on the contrary,
nnder her old common law, she baa a
right to seize food supplies absolutely
necessary for the maintenance of her
soldiers and sailors in time of war, her
right being subject to the equities of in
demnity.
The attitude of this government os
the three propositions enbmitted in jus
tification by Lord Salisbury is aa fol
low!:
The United States accepts Great Brit
ain’! offer to pay the American cltizeni
in interest the faoe veins of the cargoes,
with a reasonable profit.
Great Britain’s plea of justification is
regarded as inadequate and evasive ie
that it avoids a general declaration as
to whether cornmeal and flonr are con
traband of war, bat the anawer is rea-
•onebly sufficient because it declares
specifically that tbe articles on the ves
sels named were not contraband of war,
as they were not destined for the camp
of the enemy and that was one impor
tant contention of the state department.
As to the third proposition, the United
States accepts iu good faith the plea
that the goods were seized as a military
necessity for the supply of the British
army and navy and that snob necessity
justified the act of seizure without
prejudice to any other international
questions involved.
CHICAGO DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
