THE CAMBRIA PASSENGERS.
Are They to Fit Out Privateers Against
British COmmercee
National Associated Press to the Star.

National Associated Press to the Star.
New YORK, May 1.-The arrival of the
steamer Cambria on the coast of Maine,
with large company ofVffcers and sea-
men of the Imperial Russian Navy, when
considered with the rumored preparations
of war cruisers for the destruction of British
commerce on the high seas, is an event of
uncommon interest.
Whether this detachment represents an
advance guard of large force which we
have been repeatedly informed is to man
steamers to be purchased and equipped in
American waters by the Russian Govern
ment, or is merely party sent out to create
scare and thus influence British diplomacy,
is not yet known. According to the terms
of the treaty of Washington we can not per.
nit our harbors to be made the basis OF
operation against Great Britain, but there
is nothing to prevent Russians or any other
prospective belligerents from sending un-
armed bodies of men to this country, even
for ultcrior purposes. as long as state of
peace exists.

PARIS, May 1900 p M-The Paris In
ternational Exhibition of 1873 was formally
opened to-day with impressive ceremonies,
and in the presence of large and distin-
guished audience.
Shortly after 2 o'clock President Mac

sembled Princes, Ambassadors of foreign
Governments, members of the French Cabi-
net and other dignitaries.
After the formal ceremonies of presenta-
ton, the procession marched out upon a

ing the Cascade and Main building. Here
ain immense concourse Of people were
massed to witness the opening ceremonies

Will it be War Or Peace?

A NEW DANGER THREATENS ENGLAND.
LONDON, May lit is considered in Off
cial circles in London that the mission OF
Count Won Moltke to Copenhagen is an
event of the utmost importance. 1t is
thought to be a sure indication OF Ger
many's intention to act, as Prince Bis
marck's organs have already declared,
formally in favoring the neutraliNng the
Baltic or forbidding the entrance of British
ironclads. The object of Count Won
Moltke's mission, it is believed here, is to
enforce measures on the Danish Govern
ment which will secure the closing of the
Sound. Denmark's S weakness is so apparent
to all that no one doubts the success OF
Won Moltke's mission, as she can
not afford to refuse peremptory
demand of that nature from Germany.
This incident may cool the warlike ardor
of the British Cabinet, because it proves
that Russia is backed by Germany Many
intelligent observers of European politics
have long held this view, but most English
men refused to believe it, and the truth is
now brought home to them at moment
when any receding from the demands
already put forth by the Beaconsfield Cab
met would be national humiliation. Eng
lana is enI1rely lSOlateu. one HnQS ueISell
confronted by war with no apparent pros
pect of an alliance except with the mort
bynd Turk, and whatever Moslem fanati
cism she may be able to stir up in her own
Empire. The prospect now apparently is
that the British Government will make
efforts for peace on account of a knowledge
of the great odds that will be against her.
