STRAINED RELATIONS.



LONDON, Oct. Another war scare.
And this time II looks serious. The
announcement made that France has
blockaded the ports of the island OF
Madagascar, large part OF which is
owned by British capital, has made a
tremendous sensation.
1t Is the one topic at the clubs and
the newspaper offices and IN the hotel
Hobbies. There is general belief that
France has shown her hand az last
and that in spite of the friendly as
surances OF a section OF the French
press the Elysee means to force an
issue of the East African coast
The hasty summoning Of the cabi-
net Is an indication that official cir
cles are unexpectedly and gravely agi-
tated. IL was supposed that Lord Rose
berry would not summon his colleagues
until November, and just prior to
the lord mayors annual banquet.
ANrABAIvo, Madagascar, Oct. IA
blockade of the ports of the island OF
Madagascar has been proclai med by
France. The resident general has
gone TO Tamatave. He has been in
structed TO take measures TO protect
the colonists in the event of war.
PARIS, Oct 4.-Thc Matin says that
Madagascar can offer no possible sub
ject for dispute between France and
Great Britain
The minister OF foreign affairs, NJ.
Hanotaux, denies that a blockade OF
the island OF Madagascar has been
proclaimed by France.
NEW YoRK, Oct. 4.-The dispute be-
tween France and England in regard
TO Madagaacar is one Of long stand
ing. Madagascar is large island,
separated from the southeastern por-
tion Of Africa by the Mozambique
channel IL Is now virtually under a
French protectorate, although il IS
claimed in England that at least one
seventh Of the island is held by British
capital But the French embassy in
London recently answered communi-
cation from the Madagascar consul in
London by formal statement that
officially there is no longer such a per-
son as a London Madagascar consul, as,
IL was added, the agents OF France in
various countries represent the Hovas
government
Early last month the French gov
eminent evidently determined upon
taking decided action in regard to
Madagascar, probably believing that
the hands Of England were tied
by the complications brought about
through the war between China
and Japan. Consequently NJ. LeMyre
de Nillers was sent on special mis-
sion TO Madagascar and IL was under
stood that he was TO oil intents and
purposes instructed 10 demand the abb
dication of the government and 10 an

that Judge Jenkins had exceeded his
