Hongkong, 31st January, 1900,

Mr. Sheftel contended that the above facts amply proved the neutral and pacific destination to confiscation. According to the principles of of the carge, which was consequently not liable modera international law, he proceeded, the only restrictions imposed on neutral trade in timo of war were for contraband goods, er in the case of blockade. Absolute contraband in- cluded everything directly designed for the use of the armed forces of the enemy, such as arms, amun rition, and military accessories of all kinds...

Articles of dast use-, which might be equally employed for peaceful or warlike pur- poses, anch as machinery, coal, clothing, and provisions were also contraband if directly conveyed for the use of the enemy's army and Beat.

The Russian regulations regarding contra- band pablished on May 29 declared that neutral cargoes consigned to the enemy, or indirectly designed for his use, were open to confiscation. designed as the freedoms of commerce con stituted the rule in international relations, allowing exception only in the case of contra band, the deduction could he made that when a ship's papers showed that her CRETO consigned to a private person or firm, suc cargo was exempt from confiscation. The owner was naturally required to give satisfactory proof of the destination of the cargo, and the conditions under which it was shipped. No further guarantee cou'd, however, be demanded from him.

w28

Mr. Shoftel held that the tormi "enemy destination" implied the armed forces of the belligerent. Russia was not waging the present war against the peaceful population of Japan. but against the forces directed by the Japanese Government. He referred to Article 12 of the Russian regulations relating to naval captures setting forth that neutral cargoes were open to seizure if they represented contraband conveyed to the enemy, or an enemy port, and submitted thet by no process of deduction could the flour shipped by Messrs. Dodwell be ranked under this lead.
