seized by the British at Aden, Arabia.
Thli baa earned a storm of indignation
here, as It follows other similar Incl
dents. 1
The JJerllner Tageblatt says: "The
fiieaanre of patience of the German
nation Is fnlL Does: England . want to
drire Germany rlolently Into , the arms
of the Rnsi o-French coalition?" :': i
4-The Lokal Anzeiger sayst 'England
has aWaya carried out a ruthless marl-
time poltoy, and whenever ber interests
demanded it has always violated the
rights of others. Before the ; German
steamer Bundesratb. was captured re
cently a number of other ships, Russian!
American and Frenchj were taken. It is
to be hoped that the powers will" unite
for their common" protection. For this
however, France and Germany must glre
up dlsirustlng each other.'.! . . ; . .
Emperor William is now thoronghly
aroused by the repeated seizures Of ves
sels, not one of which, he 'bas been
assured, is guilty of carrying contraband.
Be regards the seizures . ts high ' banded
proceedings which -Bngland would riot
have dared' to undertake It the German
navy were more powerful than it Is. He
hai, therefore,; Instructed Count .von
Bulow, the Foreign Secretary, to demand
exact and full reparation for the outrage
done to the German flag.' ; t , " i

lory has yet beed received from London,

Nineteen Kaffirs who bad escaped
