CONTRABAND OF WAR.
At the second monthly dinner for the session of the London Chamber of Commerce, held at the Trocadero Restaurant on 14th Dec., the subject under discussion was "Contraband of War,"
Mr. W. Keswick, M.P., prosided, and in his opening remarks, said the necessity for a clear definition of the rights of neutrals when war was being waced by two maritime Powers had been oremplified in the present 'ruggle. By the desire of a gentleman who, with regret. found himself unable to be present, he read a letter suggesting that it would be well for trade generally aut for neutral interests if the

With referancó to the late arrival of Admiral Rozhdestvensky's report on the incident, Cap- tain Klado said it was easy to explain.

But be reckoned that the time taken by a torpedo-boat | to reach the squadron and then to regain Cherbourg would enable the squadron Itsalf to teach Brest, where he intended anchoring in order to coal. On approaching Ushaut a dense fog was encountered and as the bardister was rising and the Bay of Bisony was like a sheet of glass Adruiral Rozhdestvensky docided to push forward to Vigo, whence Captain Klado was despat&bad to St. Petersburg with the report.
