MR. PATRICK O'BRIENI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government have admitted, to the American Government that the United States ship "Sabine" was improperly seized, and whether any and what compensation is to be paid to the United States Government; and whether any, and, if so, what, ships belonging to Germany or other Powers were seized improperly by the British Government in connection with the South African war, and what compensation, if any, was claimed and will be paid by the British Government.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe "Sabine" is not an American, but an English ship. Papers with regard to the seizure of certain German ships will be laid before, the House.
