THE GROWN PRINCE.
Especial Cablegram to the Globe


GENOA, Nov. 19.-The German prince
imperial did not arrive here until mid
night. A great demonstration had been
arranged, and the populace were disap-
pointed because of its pcrtial failure owing
to the inopportune hour. The majority of
the people, however, remained up and
the streets and houses we're brilliantly
illuminated. The salutes which announced
the arrival of the royal train put the whole
city astir, and the prince was given phe-
nomenal midnight greeting. The German
residents received the prince imperial and
presented him with an address. The two
Russian men of-war which are to accom-
pany the ships Of escort have already ar
rived. The prince will embark to morrow
on the Prince Adelbert, which will convey
him to Spain.

MADRID, Nov. 19.-MarshaI Serrona
this afternoon has given his most abso-
lute assurance that neither the king nor
any Spanish party entertain the slightest
idea of German alliance. The govern
ment is very cold toward the crown prince.
nevertheless it believes it duty to 60
through the form Of official reception, aft
er having fully considered hostile de-
monstration and its inevitable conseouen-
ces, have finally decided to keep Quiet,
But If the conservatives go too far the Re-
publicans will put in their appearance
with counter demonstration.
PARIS, Nov. 10. The minister of marine
after the decision of the council of minis
ters will give Admiral Couroet full liberty
of action even in case he deems it neces-
sary to lombard Canton. The question is,
will France go as far as to declare war
against China. According to the best in
formation, notwithstanding the above men
toned alarmist rumors, the probabilities
are that China has no intention to declare
war officially. Neither will France if she
can help it, at least not for the present.
Both countries are playing bluff, much to
the disgust of Europe, which would like to
see the matter settled one way or the
other. She is weary of the everlasting in
terviews with the Marquis Tseng and the
bombast of French journalists about a
question of which they know little. We
all know what will be the end. Everything
further depends upon whether Admiral
Cour bet will venture to cross the Red
river and attack Bocninh as threatened. In
this case theRed river becomes the Rubicon
of the Chinese question.

LONDON, Nov. 19.--The news from France
and China is beginning to alarm English
men. Heretofore it has been supposed
that the Tonquin dispatch was really
bluff on both sides, and few entertained
any fear that a general war between
France and China would ever occur. Now
it is believed that war is certain. The
cablegrsm from Hong Kong an
nouncing that Pin Yuling,a Chinese aid de
camp, has been dispatched to Hon Kow to
raise 10000 volunteers was yesterday re-
ceived with incredulity To-day's dis
patches confirm it and give further par
tIculars, all tending to show the serious
ness of the situation. Pin Yuling was
sent to raise 10000 volunteers. His mis-
sion Is to open recruiting stations through
out the entire province of Hoo Pc, of
which Hong Kow is one of the capitals.
He would have no difficulty in raising half
million if he desired them, as the district
around Hong Kow has twice the
population of London. To-day's DIS
patches state that recruiting stations are
being opened throughout all the northern
districts of the empire, where the war
fever IS high. Many politicians effect to
dl5credlt these dispatces from China, and
describe them as tom-toms. They argue
that the dispatches indicate that China
seems to be gathering an army large
enough to overrun Europe, which they
pronounce ri diculous. The navy journals
cf England discuss the situation as one
of the utmost gravity, and are accusing
the government of having by
process of starving SO weakened the
British navy that if war between France
aad China broke out England will actually
be unable to find the ships or the marines
necessary to properly reinforce the British
squadron in Chinese waters
BERLIN, Nov. 19.-The warmth of the
Crown Princes reception in Genoa has
given much qualification here. The pres
ence at Genoa of the Russian admiral with
two Russian corvettes they regard spe-
cial mark of the czar's friendship and hav-
ing political significance.
