American steamer Hocking. It is understood that the depertaient is seriously concerned over the re ported British contention that a ?hip's status depends mi ownership exclusive? ly, and not on registry. State Depart? ment officials admit that changes of registry advantageous to enemioa need not be recognized by belligerents, but it is not known to what extent this principle may apply in the present in? stances. It is unlikely that any specific pro- i teat will p.' entered until the cases have been judged in the Brit i ? h courts. This has beet; the attitude of the de? partment heretofore, though notice has been served on Great Britain that court decision? baaed otherwise than on ac? cepted international law will not be recognized by the United States.

Jelay I. granting; American registration for the boat, Mr. Wagner said, caused a suspicion among Britiah officials that the company's ships were owned by German capital. "I should not he a bit surprised," Mr. Wagner said, "if Mr. Chamberlain him it If communicated these suspicions to the Kngli sh government As a matter of fact, the stock of our company is, i.r.d always has bean, owned by Ameri can stockholders I have a German t.; me, although I am a native Amen- ; ci.n, and that probably gave rise to the n ?picion 4. "I know of no reason why our ship should be seised 1 have read in the taCWspapeni fhnt the Hocking was on ! the so-called British black list, but have never received any official warn? ing or comm.nlc.tion to that effect. "We sert a telegram to Secretan Lansing s ?king him to find out the rCBBO. of the seizure and tile u pro 'i st, and hav i also wired Captain Pebre in Halifax to find out why the British cruiser took this action. Until we get ni-'.ver.- from these messages we ?-an do BOthing." The Hocking veas going in ballast to' Norfolk to lo;?d coal for Argentina. She was transferred to American reg- ? istry last month on her return from a Seuth American voyage. The ship was 1 uilt in England in 189a and has since passed through Dutch and Danisn ownership. Albert Jensen, a Copen? hagen coal merchant, bought the boat '?vheti it was th? Dutch steamer Anie Irnd. He agreed to purchase ships for Hugo Stinnee, Wh. operated merchant vessels between Hamburg and Mul- , heim. Th" Danish government im? prisoned Jensen for violating neu? trality. Jensen had renamed the vessel the Gro.laad, and when Richard Wagner l.ought her he gave the ship her pres cnt name. N in Other ships were! bought oy the American "Transatlantic Company at the same time, but al? though Ung?an?' protested on the1 groun?! that German cap'tal was be? hind the purchases, Secretary Lansing approved the transfer of most of them to the Americ'in flag. The Llama, which went aground while under a F'ritish prize crew, is owned by the Standard Oil Company, and il one of the German steamers placed under American registry at the i-utbreak of thi war. She formerly vus named th ? Biilllant. Her gn,-s tonnage is H.ls?. She sailed from New York on October 14 for Copenhagen. Hocking's Captain Doesn't Know Why Ship Was Held Halifax. Nov. 1.
