SUBMARINE FOR JAPAN,
REPORTED CAPTURE, ·
A few days since a report gained currency in the, Colony that aboard of one of the steamers
which the Vladivostok squadron seized was the
submarine boat Protector which had been sold by an American company to the Japanese, We made inquiries into the truth of the state ment but were unable to obtain any confirma tion. It will, however, be of interest to learn that, on the author ty of an American exchange. the boat was sold for £50,000. The bargain was concluded *wo months ago, and the vessel was despatched for Japan on a ship which also carried two American subraarine experts, The British fleet is due here to whose issing it is in instruct the Japanese seamen concerning the use of the new craft,

The following gribu the efficiency of the Protector is paid-big for Ferson, of the Russian Embassy, who wanne of the speakers at the recent launch: The Protector is a wonderful fighting machine, and I don't believe the United States will ever let her go away from her own shores, According to a Washington message, no infringement of neutral ty is committed by the sale of this submarine to Japan by a private fim. In this connecting the words of Mr. Hamilton Fish, formerly Secretary
of St le, are quoted when declaring "that a torpedo boat capable of being carried on the deck of a ship might properly be regarded as
an article of merchandise, and so might be sold to a belligerent without violation of neutrality, but subject to isk of seizure un the light seas." submarine carried on the deck of a merchant man is stated by the Lake Company to be a precisely similar case.

This performance is so bad as to call for prompt and' searching inquiry into the causes of it, says a Baval correspondent in a hose paper.

The pumps were kept going, but she continued to make water, and it was decided to bring her to tlangkong to investigate the extent of damage she had sustained, and to effect the necessary repairs.

Great Britain and Rusain, Lord Lansdowne, speaking in the House of Lords, said we had entered a strong pro- test against the sinking of the Knight Com- mander-an outrage which was a very serious breach of international law. We had de manded the release of the British crew, and requested that orders be given to prevent similar occurrences. The manner Russia had dealt with our representations in regard to the Red Sea cases, justified a confidence that the present representations would have the desired effect. Other serious questions have received attention, such as the status of the Volunteer cruisers and the navigationtering the Government authorised the opening of the approaches of the Black Sea; but of the line for traffic, and this morning the cars these could now be examined without the were opened to the public and throughout the impediment which the retention of vessels day maintained a ten minutes' service from scized in the Red Sea would have occasion- Arsenal Street over the completed section of the line.
