THE SWEEI’ING- DEMANDS May be Considered as 2: Casual Belli if Officials Have Not Been \‘l'arnc-d of the Demands—England “’ill Not Bermit China to Obey the Mandate. London, March 21.—Thc far Eastern crisis still overshadows the Spanish- American situation in European esti- mation, and the latest steps towards :he dismemberment of China has caus- ed fresh dismay in England. The sweeping demands made by France ap- parently constitute a more serious at- tack upon British interests and plans than does Russia’s virtual annexation of Manchuria. There is, however, one important difference in the effect of these two developments. Russia’s move demoralized the finan- cial world, but the news of the French ultimatum has had no important effect upon stocks, which leads to the infer- encethat the French policy is not so bellicose as it appears. The English press takes the gloomiest View of the latest development, but the situation is so obscure in many respects that this fact is not of the greatest sig— nificance. It is perfectly true, how- ever, that if France has taken this step on the heels of the Russian demand, without any assurance or understand- ing with Great Britain, it would consti- tute almost a casus belli. The British Government, however, puts no such interpretation upon the French action. Presumably this coun- try will not allow China to concede the full French demand for territory, for they hit British interests right in the face. It is pretty certain that China. will not be permitted to turn the Prov- ince of Yunan over to the French, for England wants that for herself. The outcome will probably be a long diplomatic struggle, which may in the end result in an amicable division of the spoils. ‘ —--v- France Will Not. the Force. Paris, March 21.——A ' semi—official statement has been issued saying that there is no. connection between the de- mands of the French Government in China. and the Chinese loan. The French demands reached Pekin at the beginning of the month, and the nego- tiations were immediately transferred to Paris, where they are proceeding between the Chinese Minister, Thing I‘hang, and M. Hanotaux, the French Foreign Minister. The French charge that there is no occasion to threaten or menace China. with the forcible seiz- ure of a coaling station. BRITAIN’S HANDS ARE FULL. Feels We Are Able to Cope with Span- iards and Their Paper Navy. London, March 21.——The Daily Mail this morning, in an editorial refuting ‘some of the American accusations of British coldness,” says: i i the trend of British thought is toward murals-e that the greatest of'the repub— lics should excite itself unduly about so poor a foe. “The Americans should remember that, while we are full of trust in their capability to deal with Spanish lmpertinence, we are fully occupied with far greater troubles, threatened or active, in various parts of the world. they have our full sympathy at a time when France, Germany and Russia are backing Spain as fully and almost as openly as they are opposing British efforts for the freedom of foreign trade throughout the world. “But there is no occasion now to talk of an offensive and defensive alliance. I‘he disproportion between our mission and America’s makes one impossible. There will be time to propose this way of recementing the race when Amer- lca is ready to face the splendid re- ;ponsibilities it entails." Kruger Theatcns War. Johannesburg, March 21.——The Stand- ird and Diggers’ News in a seemingly 3nspired article says: “War is almost nevitable unless England abandons her claim to suzerainty." Food for Starving Cubans. Kansas City, March 21.—A relief fund of $9,033 and twenty—one carloads of provisions and' clothing, collected in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. for the starving Cubans of Matanza's were forwarded from Kansas City yesterday. ~- I‘hese supplies are being carried free on a special train over the Memphis road to Memphis, thence over the Illi- nois Central to New Orleans. The United States Government has guar- anteed the transportation from New Orleans to Matanzas. The principal articles of food sent are wheat, flour, corn meal, rice, potatoes, rolled oats, tondensed milk and soup extracts. The contributions of clothing include a great number of calico dresses for women and children made by church sewing circles. Choynski on the Sick List. San Francisco, Cal., March 21.—“Joe" _ Choynski, a pugilist, is suffering from blood poisoning, and though his physi- cians think there is no immediate dan- ger, his illness is serious, more partic— ularly as the doctors say the fighter’s heart is affected. It will be some time the physicians say, before Choynski steps into the ring again, and they think it a miracle that he could have fought Sharkey at all with his heart in such a condition. Bank Robbers Get 85.000. Hutchinson, Kan., March 2L—The Bank of Nickerson at Nickerson, Kan, . near here, was robbed Saturday night. i Five men required four or five hours to blow up the safe. Citizens who were passing the building were held up and forced to go inside, where they were kept until the safe was blown open and she money obtained. About $5,000 was :aken. The robbers mounted horses and lied. ' sold by liquid measure. the movement of the Spanish torpedo flotilla, now en route from Spain. Up to last night the official advices were to the effect that the flotilla had not left the Canaries, where a stop was made to await the arrival of a Spanish cruiser. . Persons acquainted with 'the .facts say that the stop at the Canaries is , only temporary, and that there is no purpose on the part of the Spanish Government to turn back the torpedo boats because of the removal of the Texas and Massachusetts from Key West. On the contrary, the purpose, as made known in Washington, is that the torpedo flotilla will continue its trip to Cuba and Puerto Rico. It was stated by a person highin naval authority that no steps had been taken toward intercepting this flotilla or warning it away. There has been con- siderable conjecture in this line by naval officers, based on thé idea that if an emergency was in fact near at hand it would be inexpedient to allow a large torpedo flotilla to rendezvous on this side. SAUERKRAU T AND PICKLES. Legal Opinion as to \Vliether They Should Be Sold by Dry or \Vet Blensure. Washington March 21.—The Sealer of Weights and Measures for the District of Columbia recently submitted to the attorney for the District for his opinion the question as to whether sauerkraut and pickles should be sold by wet or dry measure. The attorney has de- cided the vexed point in the follow- ing Opinion: “The well-known German prepara- tion of cabbage, known as sauerkraut, from the methods of its manufacture contains more or less of liquids, but the greater part of the preparation is solid. My opinion is that it should be sold by dry measure. As to pickles, the customs, as I am informed, is to sell both by dry and liquid measure. If the pickles are not drained they are If the brine or vinegar is drained off, they are sold by dry measure. My opinion is that sauerkraut should be sold by dry meas- ure and that pickles should be sold by i dry and liquid measure, according as ' they are drained or not." Set-Back for Wanamaker. Lancaster, Pa, March 21.—The incur- sion of ex-Postmaster-General Wan- amaker into this city’s Quay preserve does not seem to have been a shining success, gauged by the result of Sat- urday’s hotly fought Republican pri- mary election. In fact his .visit here has proved a boomerang, for every Quay candidate in sight has come out. " ahead as far as heard from. Included in the slaughter is State Senator C. C. Kauffman, the anti-Quay leader in the last Legislature, who is beaten by J. A. Stober, an out—and—out Quay/adherent, who has a majority of 800 or 50, re- assuring a similar plurality of four years ago.

Washington, March 21.—Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett the well-known nov- elist has instituted proceedings for di- vcrce against her husband Dr. Swan M. Burnett. The papersin the case are withheld from publication. The grounds on which the decree is asked are understood to be desertion, aban- donment and failure to support. The last named, however, is only technical, as Mrs. Burnett is believed to have an independent fortune. ' XVit'ow Found Dead in the River. Newark, N. J., March 21.-—The body of Catherine Hogan, a widow, was found floating in the Passaic River off Kearny last evening. A bottle which had contained carbolic acid was found in her pocket and from marks on her lips and in her mouth it would appear that she had first taken carbolic acid and then thrown herself in the river. l’ando Rumor Untrue. Havana, March 21.——The report that General Pando, the Spanish comman- der in Cuba has been captured by the insurgent General Garcia, is untrue. According to the latest advices Gen- eral Pando had left Ciego de Avila and was proceeding to the eastward, prob- ably with Puerto Principe as his des- tination. Witl Go in Search of Andree.

London,March 21.—Remarkable unan- imity of the approval by both classes and masses of the mere suggestion of an Anglo-American alliance compels belief in the sincerity of the desire of the British public for an entente with the United States. The fact that most of the cable dispatches from America have proclaimed that the suggestion has been seriously discussed is heartily welcomed here and is regarded as ex- tremely important and gratifying, as evincing a friendly spirit. - “They are,” as a diplomatist put it, “inspiring hope that the differences of the past will be buried and that Anglo: Saxons in the near future will be found issuing identical notes to all opposed to their common interests.” “It is not any stretch of imagina- tion,” the diplatist continued, “to say that such a union has been longed for by the best men in Great Britain for many years, not only because of the genuine wish for closer bonds of friend- ship, but because it‘is a known fact that all the statesmen of Europe real- ize that a close alliance between Amer- ica and Great Britain would constitute not only the surest guarantee of the peace of the world, but. would afford proof that the reign of law and individ- ual liberty is to be extended for the benefit of mankind, in spite of the ef- forts to extinguish it made by reaction- ary rulers and governments." Weekly newspapers pay considerable attention to the subject. The Speaker says: “It is impossible for the statesmen of either country to find a nobler object to which’to devote their energies and their lives. Whatever the actual relations in which the governments of London and Washington regard the matter, the American people may be assured that if they wish for an agreement the peo- ple of Great Britain also wish for one. We do not wish to ask the Americans to fight our battles, just as we feel con- vinced that they are too proud to de- sire that we should fight theirs. But what we do wish and what wise men on both sides must earnestly desire, is that each nation shall feel that it has the other a. friend and a brother, on whose sympathy it can rely in time of need." The Speeker noting the good feeling expressed in the United States says: “The Americans are quite right in as- suming that they will have the sup— port of the Britisher should a Contin- - ental alliance attempt to oppress them. If our people once realize the condi- tion of Cuba, half of England would be calling America hard names be- cause they ‘had not intervenedearlier So ‘elp me bob,l’m ken or Sung.

London, March 21.—The Berlin corre- spondent of the Times cOnfirms the statement that Germany has no incli— nation to interfere in the Cuban ques— tion. He cites the Berlin Post as say- ing that Germany’s complex commer- cial interests, as well as her regard for the German residents in the United States, forbid such an interference. The Daily Chronicle this morning repeats editorially its declaration that Michael Davitt’s attempt to show that England hates America has been “ludicrously unsuccessful,” and challenges him to obtain half a dozen votes in support of a. pro-Spanish resolution in any open meeting in any town in England, Scot- land, or W'ales. Sheriff Martin to be Tried Again. Wilkesbarre, March 19.—-Sheriff Mar- tin and six or seven of the fifty-six deputies who were recently acquitted in the Lattimer cae will once more face a. jury on the charge of murder. This was determined at a meeting to-day of the Prosecuting Committee and Attor— neys Garman, McGahren and Scarlet. The attorneys suggested that a. change of venue would be desirable and that it might result in the admission of much of the evidence ruled out by Judge Woodward in the recent trial. There is some evidence to present. Gladstone's Health Critical. London, March 21.—The Pall Mall Gazette asserts that Mr. Gladstone’s physical condition is appreciably worse. Intense pains whether neuralgic or due to a. malignant growth, have caused him extreme suffering, and the result is that his physical powers and the ac- tion of his heart have become gravely enfeebled.
