U-Tha Pa clflo Mall Steamship company cancelled today the sailing of Its liner Persia, due to clear August 33 for the Orient The Persia is under British registry and will be kept fa this port until fur ther notice. Whether the two German men-of-war now patrolling outside the harbor take any prises or not is largely a matter of how long their coal holds out . There Tbe Nuraberg Is In different plight. Her last known port of call was Hono lulu, under the American flag, and she is not eligible to call for coal at an other American, port for three months subsequent to the date of the departure unless in the meantime It has touched at a homo port. Inasmuch as It was sighted west of Honolulu on Ju'v 2), near Midway island, this . Is not be lieved possible. Either it must capture coal soon or put back to Samoa for It. A possible complication in the situation la that a British tramp laden with coal consigned to the 1' nlted States coaling station at California City, on San Francisco bay. Is due here soon. As a ship under the registry of a hostile nation, this collier Is technically liable to capture, whoever the consignee.
