WAR CLOUDS RISING.
SMALL DISPUTES THAT MAY Gull
INMATE IN BIG BATTLES.

There Is Trouble in Morocco, Uneasi-
ness in Egypt and an Actual Revoiu-
ton on the Mexican Border-A Re-
view of the Situations.
For many year people have been
looking to eastern Europe and to France
and Germany for the next war, when
all of a sudden specks of war appear in
three other places. There is chance
for war in Egypt, serious disturbance
in Morocco and some real fighting on
the Rio Grande. The situations in Egypt
and Morocco emphasize the fact that
France and Great Britain are gradually
drifting into their old relations of chron-
ic hostility. The French conquered and
annexed Algiers, and for several years
past it has remained contented prov
ince of the republic known as Algeria.

A Strong Force of Men at Work Trying to
Answer That Question.
The fire had spent its force at 5:15 a. m,
for there was practically nothing com
bustible left in the she'll Then the scene
surveyed by the firemen, the police and the
citizens was one of complete and sorrowful
wreck. Ambulances had carried away the
injured, and those who had escaped un-
hurt had gone to the hotels or to the homes
of friends All that remained was a smok-
ing, blackened mound of debris that rose
to height of twenty-five feet. And un-
der the debris what would the men set to
work Immediately to clear away the wreck
what would they find there! This ques-
ton stayed the crowd, and all yesterday
there was throng of people in Bryant
park opposite the ruins, and around all the
approaches to the demolished hotel, watch
ing while one hundred able firemen la
bored in the smoking heap anxious, yet
fearful of what each upturned heap might
bring forth.
