PROWLING CRUISER
AROUSES OFFICIALS
Scouting Visit of Vessel Termed
Breach of Naval Prae?
tiee.
Washington, July M. Arouse.l by an
official report from the commander of
the battleship I.nuisiana that a mys?
terious nhip, putporting to be a Hrit?
ish crui-er, had passed into tho mouth
of Theaapeake Hay early ye-terday
morning, the Navy Department to-day
ordered the armored cruifler North
f'Brolinn and three destroyers to neu?
trality duty off Cape Henry.
Officials maintained unusual secrecy
regarding the matter and would not
disrlose Just what instmctions were
sent to the commander of the North
Carolina. It was ns-rumed, however,
that he had been directed to nee that
the German merchant submarine
Deutschland, now preparing for her re
tara trip to (Iermany, was not attacked
by Allied war vessel* within the three
mile limit und that American neutrality
was not ofherwise vi.duted.
Admiral Mrl.ean Keport.i.
Secretary Daniels made public the
following extract from a report sub
m ttod by Hear Admiral bfeLean, com
i ind rrg the Norfolk Navy Vurd:
"The rommanding otlicer of t'no
I.ouisiana reports that about 2:Sfl a. 88 ,
July 25. while he was at iinchor in
I.ynn Haven Hay an.l using hira -earch
litchts and signal lights, and otherwise
indicating that he was a man-of-war,
h' araa pnssed by a eaeael that was
barely ducernible excepting for the
two n.anof war lightfl displayed r\i'.
v 'hri reaael passed th* [ oa i
she made the signal which read 'English
cruiser.' The reaael wa* then standmg
app'irentiy up the channel toward
Hampton Roads Th,' lights disap?
peared very soon after the signal waa
madfl nnd nothing further was seen of
her. though the Louieiana kept a bright
lookout fo- her."
(.ullty of Breach.
Unoffleially, navy offleera agreed that
rf 'he ship slghted froni rhe I,ouisiana
wrt.s u Hrit.^'.i cruiaar, the commander
of the vessel had been guilty of a
breach of naval praetiee and had vro
lated navlgation law/a in cruisinsr with?
in American territorial waters without
proper 'ights.
While it was conceded that the
cruiser was within her nghts rn enter
ing terri'orai wu'rrr. providod she had
obaerved tiie rulea, it araa deelared that
an attempt to run into the bay on a
scouting expedition, and in disregard
of navigation lawn, would constitute a
gross violation of international cour- ,
tesy.
To Prevent Repetltion.
Whether Admiral Mcl.ean's report
will be mada tha subject of complaint
to the Hritish governir.cnt ia not known.
Il araa clearly indicated to-night, how
ever, 'ha- adequate procaut i i

araa pointod out that the cruiser could

The Hritish Embassy had no informa?
tion <>n tha aabject, and Embassy offl-l

Tobacco history, in America, records no event
of greater moment than the arrival of Schinasi

For Schinasi Brothers brought with them to
this country the knowledge of Turkish tobacco
and Egyptian cigarettes that had been the ex*?
clusive aecret of the Orient.
They put that quality tobacco "secret of tha

That they have kept it there is proved by the
