by the General Public.
THAT FLYING SQUADRON
More Likely to Go to the Darda-
nelles than Dolgoa Bay.
TO END THE ARMENIAN HORRORS
Latest Rumors Point to a Land Inva-
sion by Russia and Naval Demon
stration by France and
England.
England.

has reached a stage when further de-
velopments" must be awaited before
the public can form a definite idea
of how the wind is blowing. The un-
certainty prevailing in usually we'll
informed quarters is well illustrated
by the fact that to-day the Standard
says that it is authorized to declare
that the German Emperor's telegram
to President Kruger was at most an
expression of feeling of momentary
irritation, which has now passed away,
leaving the relations between Ger
many and England as friendly as here
tofore."
The Times expresses the opinion
that "all the evils and terrors which
made disturbance in the Transvaal,
with or without DR.. Jameson, are
merely question Of time, and still
remain unsettled"
The Westminster Gazette, this af-
ternoon, touching upon the misunder-
standing between Great Britain
and the United States, says it
sees distinct break in the clouds,
and hopes that a settlement salts
factory with Great Britain and
the United States will be effected with
Venezuela direct, and intimates that
the Brazilian Minister is closely identi-
fled with the latest proposed solution
Of this controversy.
Referring to the trouble between
Great Britain and Germany, the West
minister Gazette remarks: THE effects
of the shifting of English leanings

i already evident in the efforts made
to explain Emperor Williams teie-
gram"
Continuing, the Westminster Gazette
adds: IF our intimation is correct,
the Marquis of Salisbury's desire to be
better friends with France has already
brought forth some fruit"
The Manchester Guardian comment
ing upon the British naval prepara-
ations SAYS that considerable credence
is attached TO the story that the lying
sdndron, which is to assemble at Port
land early this week, is more likely
to 90 TO the Dardanelles than Delagoa
Bay, adding: Emperor Williams
message came at just the right time to
give the ministers an excuse for maxi
ing preparations really intended to
back their new policy, which will end
the Armenian horrors, and bring the
Sultan to his senses. The latest rumor
points to land invasion by Russia, and
a Joint naval demonstration at Con
stantinople by Great Britain and
France"
A despatch to the Pail Mall Gazette
from Capetown, published to-day says
that the latest adyices received there
from Pretoria state that bail has been
refused the ring leaders of the recent
disturbances at Johannesburg, and that
the other people arrested in the same
connection have been liberated each
i'll S5 900 bail.
Adyices from Johannesburg say
that the Uitlanders are expecting the
Beers to make n house-to-house search
for arms, and il is stated that the Ger
mans of that place have been holding
meetings and passing resolutions tell
ing Emperor William to mind his own
business.
Among the South African politicians
it is felt that the crisis is by-no means
over, and il is held by them that the
Punishment and Introduction placed
upon the property of the chief men of
Johannesburg cannot be tolerated
This feeling grows out of theJohannes-
burg despatch reporting that warrants
are out for the arrest of over 200 per-
sons, all leading men in the mines,
and principal companies of the stock
exchange, and of the professional ele-
ment. It was added that among
those arrested were several Americans
and Germans.
The St. James Gazette this afternoon
deyotes much space 10 the Venezuelan
question, and says: I'VE have quite
enough TO think about without quar-
reling with Germany We have not
ended our difficulty with America yet"
