Prize Court Power Over American Ship Denied
Washington reports the State Department rejects Germany's claim to prize court jurisdiction over the American ship Frye. The note maintains the 1799 and 1828 treaties prohibit sinking or detaining a vessel for contraband, insisting indemnity for treaty violation rather than a simple prize. The stance emphasizes no need to question neutral rights and avoids linking to the Lusitania case.
