eminent Is sending instructions to Sir
Charles Hardinge. the British ambas-
sador to Russia, today, to energetically
protest against the sinking of the Brit-
ish steamer Knight Commander by the
Russian Vladivostok squadron. Until
the presentation of the note to the
Russian government, the greatest sec~
recy will be maintained regarding its
contents, but it is known that Premier
Balfour and his colleagues have decid-
ed to demand that the fullest repara'
tion shall be made by Russia, or mess
ures will be taken to follow up the dip-
lomatic demands.
The British note, as Sir Charles
Hardinge will submit It. will not men-
tion the amount of indemnity Russia
must pay the owners of the ship and
British subjects having goods on board
the vessel, but all that will be sought
will be the establishment of the princi-
ple of indemnity and apology. A an-
lute of the British flag must also be
conceded and the future protection of
neutral shipping assured.
The attitude of the British govern-
ment is the result of the thorough con-
sideration given to the reports receiv-
ed from Sir Claude Macdonaid. the
British minister at Tokio, and the ex-
amination ofdntemational law author-
ities by legal experts. The despatch-
es from Sir Claude Macdonald confirm
the reports that the Knight Commander
had no contraband of war on board for
Japan. The government and all the
British authorities, it is asserted, un-
its on the point that there was no
jiiistlncation for the sinking of the ves-
se .
it is foil in government circles that
the Knight Commander incident over-
shadows the Red Sea seizures. which
practically have been adjusted, but
which haVe failed to settle the question
of the rights of neutral commerce.
LONDON, July 27.~A lengthy meet-
ing of the defence committee took place
today, under the presidency of Prev
mier Balfour, at which the attorney—
general, Sir. Robert Finlay, was pres-
ent. The attorney-general does not
usually attend these meetings, but it
was stated that the questions at issue
between Russia and Great Britain were
under discussion, and that Sir Robert
was called in to advice as to the ques-
tions of international law involved.

LONDON, July 27—That the British
government regards the sinking of the

House of Commons, this afternoon.

there is a question of a breach of in-

in the light of the declaration of the
Russian government respecting contra-

NEW YORK, July 27 .--The local ma
rine insurance companies report a
sharp rise in war risks dining the past
week. as a result of Russia holding up
British and German uiercliaotmeit at
sea. The war risk rate demanded to-
day by the majority of the big local
companies is one per cent.; but in the
opinion of marine insurance men with-
in a few days it may be expedient to
demand 3, 5 or even 10 per cent, and
extraordinary complications in the (ir-
icut might even send the rate tip to 20

and Russian consuls and Captain
Schwartz. i-oiiiuiaudiug the prize crew,
it was announced that the Russian flag
would be replaced by the British at 6
o‘clock this evening. The orders to
surrender the Malacca were evidently
a complete surprise to Captain
Schwartz, who immediately after his
arrival notified the French naval au-
ilioiitics that he required six hundred
tons of coal and a good supply of
water and piovisions to take him to
l.ibuu in the Baltic it was not until
an hour later that the Russian con-
sul, M. Townizcvsky, boarded the Mui-
aci-n and informed Captain Schwartz
of the settlement of the diiliculties re-
garding the Malacca since the vessel
sailed from Port Said.
The prize crew will he landed this
evening, Lodgings were proviucu for
the crew by the French naval authori-
ties. The Malacca's British crew re-
cently arrived at iiiurscillcs, and it is
expected that they will be summoned
to take ciiurgc of the ship, which will
resume her intcrrupicd voyage east-
ward.
