British Engineers to Go to Morocco-Mr.
 Gladstone's Attitade Towards the Bud-
 get-The Instability of the French Gov-
 ernment and ths Boulanger Craze.
 LONDON. ApEl 9 There is much specula- tion in the American colony here over a press dispatch from Gibraltar announcing the de- parture from that place for Tangier of detachment of British engineers No one is able to say why they are going, and it is feared that in the event of an attack upon Tangier by American war vessels the pres ence of the English engineers will still further complicate matters Americans here do not expect that the issue of the Morocco affair will be very serious. They deride the quarrel and its origin, but are unanimous in the be- lief that the only course left open to the United States authorities in the circumstances has been taken They regret, however, the weakness of their country's naval demonstra- tion and greatly fear that it may prove in adequate to the end sought It is now be- ieved that the Moors are firmly determined to yield to nothing short of irresistible force, and Americans and Englishmen alike express the hope that England's move in sending the detachment of engineers to Tangier is not intended to interfere in the dispute between the United States and Morocco or the manner of it's settlement
 The opposition leaders have resolved to raise objections to various points in the budget, but have no intention of offering amendments to the objectionable clauses. MT. Gladstone, however, will handle them pretty severely when the budget is consid- cred in the committee, and Mr. Childers and Sir William Harcourt will also speak agalnst them.
 The want of stability which has of late years characterized the French ministries is the subject of wide comment The English government organs almost without excep- tion publish articles deriding the French sys- tenn of government and the uncertain tenure of French cabinets, with which, they assert, it is folly for any power to treat, because of the almost absolute certainty that before negotiations are fairly under way the minis ters entering into consideration of the ques- tions involved will be thrown out of office and succeeded by men opposed to continuing the discussion. M Floquet is an advanced Radical, and next to M. Clemenceau is the strongest man in the new cabinet. It is not expected, however, that the new ministry will stand the onslaught of the Boulanger craze, which is decidedly on the increase.
