Paris. If the candidature of Prime
Leopold is not withdrawn within tn
next twenty-four hours the French Min
listers will be recalled from Berlin ant
Madrid and war be declared. Th'
conduct of France in forcing the issu
refusing to leave the question of th'
throne to the Spanish people is strongl.
condemned by all Europe, and Prus
sias calm and dignified position is ap
proved.
Observation-Disclosures be
tween Paris and Ems are reported to b'
unsatisfactory. Prussia, declaring he
innocence of intrigue, refuses to inter
fere with the candidacy Of Hohenzol
lern, on the ground that che has neither
the right, power nor inclination to die
tate to Spain or to Prince Leopold. A
large party in France counsel a sus
pension of action until the meeting O
the Spanish Cortes. The general be
lief is that the Emperor is determined
TO fight and will move instantly without
giving Prussia time for preparation. II
is said that Napoleon would prefer tc
meet the issue now than after Prince
Leopold is elected by the Spanish peo
ple especially as he bases the claims o.
his own dynasty on the popular vote.

panic might die out, only men known
to be in the Emperor confidence are
selling heavily.
