ENGLAND GETS
READY
May Fight to Resist the Aggressions o.
Russia.
Every Ship Is Fully Manned suspi-
ciOn That France Intends to
support the Cxnr.

LONDON, August 6.-That extreme diplo-
matte tension exists between St. Peters,
burg and London is generally admitted to-
day, though the officials deprecate. the
alarmist reports which were current yes
terday.
1t is hoped that the firmer stand adopted
by the Marquis of Salisbury during the
last few days, which seems to have al
ready created some misgiying at St Pc
tersburg, will have the desired effect of ar
resting Russian aggressiveness.
1t is felt both here and ON the continent
that the outcome of the dispute in regard
to the New Chwang railroad extension is
the crucial point of the success or failure
of Great Britains policy of the "open
door"
Gravity of the Situation.
AS evidence of the fact that Great Britain
appreciates the gravity of the situation the
Associated Press learns that the admiralty
is preparing for all emergencies, md that it
will soon be ready to mobilize the entire
fleet at the shortest notice.
Every officer and man on furlough or on
half pay has been assigned to a ship and
instructed to be in readiness to join at the
earliest moment.
Therefore, practically every ship in the
British navy, whether in or out of COM
mission at the present moment, has it's full
war complement of officers and men, ready
to take her out to sea when the time ar
rives.
France Excites Suspicion.
According to Paris advices, Admiral Be
doiliere commanding the French China
squadron, has cabled a demand for REIN
forcements and for large credit to be ap-
Piled to erecting Notifications. The reason
given for these demands is that the natives
OF the Kwang Chou Wang region are show
ing signs of hostility. But there is some
suspicion here that the action of the
French admiral may be connected with a
desire to back up Russian designs.

bic of taking the responsibility before the
country of the acceptance of the Ameri-
can terms.
In Cnse of Delay.
1t is pretty well understood in official
circles that this country will not demand
that Spain hurry her decision, but it is un-
derstood that the terms now offered Will
hold good for a short time only. A con-
tinuance of the war caused by Spanish in
decision or bad Judgment, means that there
will be additions to the present terms,
tlme they are submitted. For instance, this
is the last opportunity Spain will get to
retain a foothold in the Philippines. High
officials of the administration recognize
that the country will permit no trfling by
Spain and no interference from anywhere.
Protracted delay will cost Spain the Phil
ippnes without a question of submitting
anything to a commission. 1t is safe to say
that if the President does not hear officially
mate to NJ. Cambon that unless our propo-
sitions are acted upon within a reasonable
time they will be Withdrawn. This, shorn
oil diplomacy, would mean that our terms
would shortly be subject to alteration. and
the W. ming would go home with force to
the 81 anish cabinet.
Statement at French Embassy.
At B o'clock it was said at the French
embassy and State Department that no
word had yet been received from Spain
with reference to peace negotiations.
