§ 26. Mr. NEWMANasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the town of Cettinje is largely provisioned by foodstuffs imported from the Austrian seaport Bocche di Cattaro; whether he has received information that foodstuffs consigned to Cettinje have been or are about to be detained by the Austrian authorities; and whether such an action by a member of the Triple Alliance directed against a Power friendly to this country will have the countenance of His Majesty's Government?
§ Mr. ACLANDI have no information respecting the alleged detention, or the intended detention, of foodstuffs at Cattaro to which the hon. Member refers. The question of action taken by the Austrian Government in its own territory is not a matter which depends upon the countenance of His Majesty's Government.
