[Telegram.]

New York, January 12, 1900.

Your telegram 11th received with thanks. We made no shipments of flour in vessels seized. As to whether we are now legal owners of any goods shipped by us therein depends on payment of drafts drawn therefor, and not yet due. Pending definite advice thereon we merely desire our rights, if any, reserved.
