Russia Replies On Contraband War Goods Notes
The British ambassador received a verbal reply from Russia to the American and British notes on contraband of war.

Confiscation requires proof of destination to blockaded ports or enemy military forces. Private shipments may be prima facie contraband but not conclusive. suspicious papers or circumstances can negate innocence. Count Lamsdorff notes captains also bear duty to ensure proper conduct.
