British Protest
Insurgent Move
Against Ships
(By The Associated Press)
LONDON, March 31—The Brit
ish government in a strong pro
test demanded that the insurgent
Spanish regime explain three at
tacks made on British merchant
men by insurgent warships, and
asked assurances that they will
not repeat the incidents.
The note said that Insurgent
trawlers halted the steamer Spr
ingwear on March 7th and forced
her to proceed to Gibraltar and
unload her cargo. It also said
the trawler fired a shot on March
23rd across the bow of the liner
Menin Ridge, carry ng a cargo of
coal, and enforced their order to
halt the British vessel to be
searched The trawler disap
peared when the French destroy
er steamed to the vessel’s rescue.
On the same day an Insurgent
warship halted and searched the
steamer Stanholme and was es
corted to Gibraltar, although its
papers were orderly.
