The seizure of the Bundesrath in Delagoa Bay carrying twenty three passengers suspected of being Boer recruits, started the ill-feeling, but it was greatly intensified when the imperial mail steamer General was stopped at Aden, held by Biitish | troups, and compelled to discharge her cargo. It is not reported that anything contraband was found, The cause and probable result of the selznies are hazardral by the Vienna Allgemeine Zeitung in the following statement, which is reproduced in the cable despatchesto American papers
It looks as if Great Britain cased less for the cargo in question than for demonstrating before the world that, although most unlucky on the || land, she is the unchallenged mistress of the sen, a demonstration which will do more for the tier- man navy than all the specelles of Emperor Willist 551

Yet all that she needs is to prevent the traffic between that helligerent and the Portuguese port. Great Britain mast assuredly | possess enough influence with a petty state like Portugal, partially dependent upon Great Britain for her indepedence, to indice her to perform her own duties as a neutral.
