DISPENSING WITH PRIVILEGE OF DIPLOMATIC LIQUOR.

New York, May 25. Sir Esme Howard, British Am- basandor in New York, stated to Pressmen that he would be only too glad to co-operate with other diplomatic officera to surrender the privilege to have diplomatic liquor, if the United States Go- vernment were to intimate its de- sire to cancel the privilege.

Sir Esme Howard sent a letter to that effect to Mr. James Carter, lumber manufacturer. In reply to a letter in which Mr. Carter urged Sir Esme Howard "to join hands to better the element of the people of the United States, and to try and help us to enforce prohibition Jaws in this country."

It was soon discovered' that a submerged rock had been struck, but the launch righted itself, con- tinuing to away menacingly how- ever. The launch soon became wedged between two rocks and the fact that she was badly dam aged was soon made apparent by the entry of water.
