GREAT BRITAIN ANXIOUS.

renoh Demands in China Discussed By
the Cabinet Council.
LONDON, March 2l.-At the cabinet
council there was an anxious discussion
of the new development Of French de.
mands in China. The Duke Of Devon.
shire, lord president of the council,
who presided, has decided to postpone
his intended departure for the Riviera.
All the newspapers comment on the
impossible nature Of the French de-
mands. The Times says "China is
inclined to yield through her fear of an
occupation of. Hal Nan. 1t may be
necessary to make it very plain to the
Chinese mind that worse things than
the occupation of Hal Nan will happen
if China undertakes to settle by q mere
ex.parte agreement with a third power
questions which Immediately affect the
safety and prosperity Of one of our
most important possessions in the
East"

gency Measure to Expe-

Plan to Change Inauguration
: Given COMMITTEE En-
dorsement

WASHINGTON. March 81. Senator
Hawley of Connecticut says that it Is
the intention toget through congress as
speedily as possible the three hAtallion
military bill which was introduced at
the suggestion of the war department
for. strengthening the military arm of
the service and providing for. its in.
creas to l04, 900 men if necessary.
This bill, he said, carried a small ap.
propriatioh and therefore would pass
the house in advance of action by the
senate. He supposed that Mr.. Hull,
who introduced the bill in the house
and who is chairman of the military
committee, would get a report on it
very soon and secure action by the
house, but he did not know whether it
would be treated as an emergency
measure or be acted on more, .deliber.
ately. The general desire was to secure
the legislation as soon as possible and
the senate, he rhoughs, would act very
promptly after the house had passed
the bill.

WAITING THE REPORT
Air Of Suspense Noticeable as
the Time for Its DeIiv-
cry Draws Near.
President Has Suggested Haste
and 1t Is Expected in
a Day or Two.
Captain Sampson of the Court
Unable to Say When 1t
Will Be Ready.

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-An air of
suspense was noticeable in the navy
department during the day, due to the
approach of the time for the delivery of
the report of the court of inquiry. It
is not known just when the document
will come to Washington and of course.
in view Of the reports of the determine.
ton of outside parties to obtain posses.
sion of it before the department re.
ceives the report. the officials, if they
know, will not say how the papers are
to be brought to Washington. All that
is known definitely is that the presi-
dent has suggested that the report be
made as soon as possible and in conse.
quence it is expected to reach this city
in the
Course of Two or Three Days.
The cabinet talked over the matter and
the time stated was the general opinion
of the members when they had heard
all that Secretary Long had to report
on the subject. There is an impression
that Lieutenant Commander Mark
will bring the document, though it is
within Admiral Sicard's power to
choose any officer.
A cabinet officer expressed the belief
that the report will require careful con-
sideration on the part of the president
and his cabinet before being given to
the public, which would seem to post.
pone publication to some time about
the middle of next week, although
nothing is certain IN that point.

Cuba is alleged to have said that the

there is some good patriotic argument

be depended on to do all that patriotism
