SEARCHES SHIP
Flying American Flair- Third
Ship of Line Held Up
in Five Days.
New York, Dec. 11. The steamship
San Juan, ot the New York and Porto
Itico line, was held up and searched
by a French cruiser .while the steam
er was bound from New Orleans to
San Juan, Porto Rico, according to
message received by the line to
day. Two second clas
were removed. The San Juan flies
the American flag.
The San Juan is the third vessel
ot this line to have been held up with
in the last five days the Coamo and
Carolina having been searched off
Porto Rico this week.
The passengers removed from the
San Juan were William Gunthevodt
and Fritsch Lothar, both said to bo
residents of New Orleans. Tho San
Juan left New Orleans Saturday and
arrived at San Juan early today. The
message from the San Juan to the
local office did not give the exact lo
cation where the steamer was search
ed nor the name of the French cru
iser but It Is believed that the San
Juan was searched late yesterday and
probably by the same cruiser which
held up the Coamo and tho Carolina.
The mesaage also (ailed to state
whether the, cruiser fired any shots at
the San" Juan as was done in the
previous cases. 1 '
Manager Mooney of the line, said
he would Dot determine the question
of making a protest to the State De-
partment until the steamer Carolina
arrives nere Monday and he obtained
full reports of the holding up of the
Carolina and the Coamo from the
ship's officers. Mr. Mooney Indicated
that he did not consider as serious
the holding up of the San Juan.

William's action was 'made by Secre

German ' ambassador. , The Emperor
also requested safe conduct for the
successors) ot Captain Boy-Ed and von
Papen, who will be named later. Ac
tion on this, however, will await the

that they go under parole, pledging
themselves not to participate in the
