COMMANDERS GIVEN ORDERS
Right of Visit and Search to Be Ex

Says Message In Frye Case.
Washington, Sept. 25. Germany's
latest note on tho sinking of tho Amer
ican sailing ship William P. Frye, pub
lished by tho stato dopartment on
Thursday, discloses an Important dip
lomatle victory for the United States
Germany ncceptB the proposal to fix
damagoB by commission and to lot
I he Hnguo pass upon disputed trenty
rlchts Involved. She nlso elves aBRUr-
anccs that no moro American ships
carrying -conditional contraband will
bo destroyed under tiny circum
stances.
Ono thing seemed to ofilclals certain
German naval commanders now nro
ordered t exercise tho rights of visit
and search with respect to all Ameri
can ships to dctermlno what cargo the
vessels carry, thus making It prac
tically suro that none will bo attacked
without warning or ample tlmo for
passengers and crew to bo transferred
inuHiJucuvo ol mo cargo.
Tho note follows in part:
"With regard first to the ascertain
ment of tho damngo by exports, tho
German government bellovos that It
should dlsnenso with tho nomination
of an umpire. Assuming that the
American government agrees to this,
the German government names as Its
oxpert Doctor Kenny of Bremen, dl
rector of tho North German Lloyds; it
begs to await tho designation of tho
American expert.
"The German government declares
that it agrees to tho proposal of tho
American government to separate the
question or Indemnity from tho qucs
Hon of the interpretation of tho Prus
sian-Amorican treaty of 1785, 1793 and
182S.
"It therefore again expressly states
that In making payment it does not
acknowledge tho violation of tho treatv
as contended by tho American side,
nut it will admit that tho settlement
of the question of Indemnity docs not
projuuico tho arrangement of the dif
ferences of opinion concerning tho In
terpretation of tho treaty rights, and
that this disputo Is left to be decided
by Tho Hagiio tribunal of arbi
tration. "Tho negotiations relative to tho
signing of tho compromiso provided by
article 52 of Tho Hague arbitration
convention would hnst hn

American ombaasy at Berlin, In view
or tho dinicultiea In tho wav of in.
structing tho imnerlal ambassador nt
Washington.
"From tho standpoint of law and
equity It (tho Gorman government) Is
not prevented, In its opinion, from
proceeding against American ships
carrying contraband, according to Its
interpretation, until tho question is
Bottled by arbitration.
"For tho German government does
not need to dopart from the applica
tion of generally recognized rules of
tho law of maritime wnr, as tho Dec
laration of London, unloss and In so
far nB an exception based on a treatv
Is established boyond a doubt. In the
caao of tho present difference of opin
ion botwoon tho Gorman and American
governments such nn exception could
not ho taken to bo established except
on the ground of tho arbitral
award.
"Nevertheless tho German covorn-
ment, In ordor to furnish to tho Ameri
can government ovldonco of Its con
ciliatory attitude, has issued orders to
tho German naval forces not to de

havo loaded conditional .contraband.
