(Received June 1, 8 a.m.) London, May 31
The Times - correspondent at New York says tho British Consulate used the X-ray, on some bales of cotton, and the results indicated • that five Austro-German merchants were conspiring to smuggle rubber into Austria and Germany. The German authorities, % appears, furnished them with largo credits. The rubber was packed in barrels of resin, and when this was declared contraband, then they hid the rubber in cotton, and sought -to export it aboard British ships to Genoa. They were charged with defrauding the American Government by^means of false declarations.
