Vladivostok Fleet Sinks Neutral Steamer and Captures Two—Butchers' Strike Renewed—River Boat Afire—President Roosevelt to Be Notified Wednesday.
The steamer Malacca is at Suda bay, island of Crete, where under the agreement between Great Britain and Russia, she will be perfunctorily inspected jointly by the consuls of the two countries and released, together with her cargo, unless palpable contraband of war intended for the Japanese shall be found, in which case only the contraband will be held. The British government stores on board the vessel will not be examined.
Orders have been sent to the volunteer fleet steamers St. Petersburg and Smolensk to refrain from interference with foreign shipping. It is expected these steamers will eventually join the Baltic fleet and be replaced by ordinary warships.
London papers express satisfaction that the Malacca incident has been settled in accordance with the demands of Great Britain, though there is an inclination to await the settlement of the broader question of the passage through the Dardanelles of the volunteer fleet steamers before believing that all danger has been averted.
