How the Germans are to be treated hot, I am undecided, for any officials here believe it would be unsafe for them to attempt to intervene in the Mediterranean, in view of pending developments in the international situation. It is probable that they may go through the Sier Canal and cross the Indian Ocean.

Two U. S. Seamen Rejected Because They Were on Unarmed Vessel.
Washington Expected to Make Demand for Release of Americans.
By Associated Press,
WASHINGTON, March 21 --Official dispatches from Copenhagen today confirmed reports that two American seamen had arrived there from Germany with the story that some fifty others taken in raids by the commerce raider Moewe were held in detention camps. Reports from many sources have convinced officials here that Americans captured on the British steamer Esmeraldas are held. As yet no reply has come to an inquiry sent through the Spanish Foreign Office a week ago as to whether there were Americans among the crews of vessels captured.
Dispatches from Minister Egan today told of the two seamen reaching Copenhagen. They were Alexander Meyer and Jack Benson, taken from the Norwegian bark.  Stant. They said that, in addition to fifty men from the Esmeraldas, the Germans are detaining one from the British steamer Brecknorshire. All, they said, are in a detention camp at Westphalia. The two were released because they were on an unarmed ship. This government, it considered certain, will make a vigorous demand for the release of the American sailors.
