Cargoes in Enemy Ships. The Committee representing the various interesteia British cargo in enemy vessels sheltering in Sumatran ports have been in- formed that the result of the teat
case brought against the captain
and owners of the s.o. Scandia in the Medan Court is that no gen❤- erol average or re-stowage ex-. penses are payable by cargo owners. It is understood that the captain and owners y bara appealed from this decision, and as it is probable that considerable delay may 19. enlt before the appeal is heard, the committee have communicat ed with the Rotterdam agents of the various lines concerned en quiring whether, to avoid lengthy litigation, they will agree to do liver up British cargo on reason able terms. As the committee have ascertained that committees with similar objects have been formed in the Far Eastern poris,, and that Mesera. Harrisons and Crosfeld, Ltd, will act on behalf of the Hongkong and Yo kobami interests, they recommend British cargo owners to likewise. place their interests in the hands of this firm, and to communicate. with the Secretary at 1-4, Great Tower-street, E.U.

Labeok at Tjilatjap have taken steps with the German authorities to ask permission to deliver the goods to the owners. They announce their intention of ordering the goods to be unloaded at Tjilatjap.
