An Ocean Free Lance.
BRITISH STEAMER SUNK. ANOTHER INSTANCE OF RUSSIAN INIQUITY. London, June 14. On th® ground that it was carrying contraband, the Russian cruiser Dnieper captured and sank the British steamer St. Kilda, between Hongkong and Yeckohama, The Dnieper was formerly named the St. Peterburg. The newspapers insist on the urgency of immediate British action U Russia is unable to communicate with the Dnieper and stop its wild career. The “ Times ” says the outrage is a repetition of the Knight Commander incident. Despite Mr Balfour’s assurances to the contrary, the “ Times ” adds the vessel is preying lawlessly on neutral commerce while dependent for coal on neutral perts, as there is no Russian port within reach. All neutrals are interested in abating this nuisance.
