danger. Admirs) Howard should arrivo on the acoco on board the San Diego tc-day."

Officials were reticent in die cursing the international phases of the case arising from the fact that warships of the United States, a neutral nation, are aid- ing armed forces of a belligerent nation in water foreign to the United States. The situation, it was paid, was unique in 'interna- tional law. The shoal upon which the Asama is grounded is believed to be within the territorial waters of Mexico..

Official opinion inclined to the view that the most the American vsasols could do was to take the officers and crew off the ship. The dictates of humanity, it was pointed out, as interpreted by international law, permit the res- cre of belligerent personnel by neutrals bat would not allow the American craft to assist in refloat- ing the Asama.

From Admiral Howard's die- patob, officiale assume that the arew of the Asame is still abosid brr. Should they have landed on

xican soil, bosever, as 10. el cial reports indicate, the Hation would become more complicated. In that event, the opinion was expressed that the sailors could scarcely be brought away from Mexico, Should they bo taken on Amerion vessels, technically American spil, it is taken for granted they will be

brought to the United States for interntent during the war and that the Asams will be left to wherever fate may reful her."
