A CALCUTTA cablegram Of March
Goth says: The origin of the
trouble between the Burmese and
British residents at Mondalay is that
the latter protect and refuse to deliver
up two royal princes and their families
who have taken refuge in the residence
of the king of Burmah, who is said to
be mad with drink, and, urged by ia
natics and the reactionary party,
| threatens to force them from the resi-
dency. Such hostile measure on the
part of the government, it is believed,
would be the signal for general mas
sacre of citizens.

The telegraph flashes ugly news.
Russia is angry with Germany and Aus
tria, and officially declares that the
plague has ceased, and requests her
neighbors to remove the restrictions on
her commerce. France makes strange
concentration of her troops on the Bel
gian frontier. Russian agents help to
revive reports that Germany desires to
annex Holland, creating quite q panic
among the better class of the Dutch.
1t is even reported that war is ex-
pected, and that France will strike
at Germany's power by taking
Belgium and 'Ae latter Hol-
land. Where there is so much smoke
there must be fire. Latterly, Germany
has been imperious toward Holland.
The belief that England is having her
hands full in Asia and Africa promotes
the expectation that another attempt
will be made to reconstruct the map of
Europe. The Standards Berlin cor
respondent vouches for the truth OF
these rumors so far as relates to Ger
many and Holland. The Dutch papers
are full of exciting editorials.
