(Special to The Daily News.)
Washington, D. C., Jan. 19.-—
The British government will not
allow the former German steam-
er Dacia to proceed to Rotterdam
with her cargo of cotton. The
Dacia changed to the American

registry since the war broke out
by the Hamburg-American line
and this transfer Britain objects
to. It is believed here the Dacia
will run the blockade and take her
ehances of winning in the British
prize court if she is caught.
