Symptoms Of Movement on the Part

LONDON, March GA dispatch to the
Times from Hongkong says orders were
issued yesterday to the naval establish
ment there to make urgent preparations to
place itself on a war-footing. The stan,
1t was added was augmented and mobili-
zation was ordered.
The dispatch further announces that
twenty-nine French cruisers. have gone
north, avoiding Hongkong.
The British battleship Barfieur has gone
to Nagasaki, Japan.
Mystery Is still the chief stock In
trade of the foreign office, but its big
words AND apparently craven eB.ions no
longer satisfy the public, and conserva-
tives and Liberals are equally alarmed at
the apparent failure of British diplomacy
in China, where Great Britain's "open
door" has been slammed in her face. I'm

compelled to take the country into ITS
confidence by motion for the adjournment

dock necessarily meant a naval yard, and
because he believed this was no time to
establish new naval stations, he gave no
tice that he would make point of order
against the proposed steel dry docks at
Algiers, La, and also the investigation of
desirability of locating dry dock at Gal
weston. He was opposed, he declared, to
any attempt to foist upon the house. under
the cry Of urgency, new work which could
not stand on its merits. When he touched
the increases of the navy he suggested that
the battleships could not be placed in COM
mission in thirty-six months. The small
torpedo boats might, on the other hand, be
completed before the war, if war it was to
be, was over.
Mr.. Boutelle said he would vote for any
increase in the number of torpedo boats
that Mr.. Cannon might suggest. II sug-
gest that you strike two of the battleships
and insert the equivalent in small boats"
(Applause.)
Strike down the fighting line and in

Boutelle, amid laughter.
Mr. Cannon said he realized that it was a
thankless job, while the patriotic heart of
the country was stirred, to criticise any
thing labeled national Defense" but he
had duty to perform, and he would dis
charge it. The utility of the modern battle
ship had not been demonstrated. He had
been greatly interested in the discussion
of the respective merits of the expensive
battleship and the relatively inexpensive
monitor. He would like to see these great
engines of war tested before he voted to

ROEBER WINS ON AFOUl
IN A MATCH WITH YOUSoUFH.
THE TERRIBLE TURK
Fifteen Thousand Lovers Of Greco
Roman Wrestling Go Away in
Very Great Disgust

NEW YORK, March &.-Fifteen thou.
Garden tonight to witness the Graeco-
Roman wrestling match between Yousouff,
the Turk. and Ernest Roeber. the worlds
champion
Bob Fitxsimmons was warmly received
when he walked into the building.
At $3.50 o'clock Yousouff got on the plat
form and had a rousing reception. A few
minutes later Roeber climbed upon the
stage. His welcome was deafening. You
souff was the favorite in the betting.
Hugh Leonard was chosen referee.
Bob Fitzsimmons held the watch for
Roeber and "Honest John" Kelly for You
sour.
When the men stepped into the ring It
was seen that the Turk was at least five
inches taller than his adversary and fully
fifty pounds heavier. When time was
called both men stepped to the center OF
the mat. Yousouff was the first to get his
hands on. Roeber kept sprnging away
from the big fellow and finally took up a
position near the edge of the platform.
Yousouff reached and pushed his opponant
clear off the stage.
and claimed the match for Roeber on q
foul, which Leonard allowed. Time, I min
ute. so seconds.
One of Yousouff's friends then made the
announcement that Yousouff desired to
give the fall to Roeber and TO go on again
in an hour, also taking the losers end OF
the money whether he won or not. At five
minutes after ten the announcer said that
the referee had gone with two physicians
to determine whether or not Roeber would
be able to continue.
After few minutes the announcer said
that the doctors who examined Roeber
had declared him to be In unfit condition to
go back on the mat and the referee had de-
cided finally to award the match to Roeber,
as it was evident that the Turk had de-
liberately fouled his opponent. This an
nouncement was received with mingled
Kisses and cheers but the former predemi-
mated.
w. A. Brady then announced that You-
souff would give an exhibition with Tom
Cannon, one of his trainers. Chief Me-
Cullough, who was at the side of the stage,
refused to allow the Turk to appear again,
and 1900 men filed out Of the garden very
much disgusted.

Mr.. White. United States ambassador.

what concerned over the outcome OF the
American findings. 1t is understood that
the government seeks to reassure them
with the promise that Europe is back OF
Spain; they have already been prepared
with the knowledge that the Sagasta
Ministry will seek to arbitrate the ques-
tion of fact, and they are duped with the
belief that IL that Is rejected the coun-
tries of the Continent will uphold Spain
forcibly in resisting the demands OF the
United States when it becomes positive
ly known that the administration at
Washington will treat the incident as
it's own affair. There Is possibility that
the delusion of European aid Will impel
the ultra Spanish classes to acts which
will cause a collision with the United
States. Either this will happen or the
confidence in Spain securing the support
of other countries will be shattered for
ever, and the settlement of the Cuban
question will become much more simple.
THE FRENCH ATTITUDE
NEW YORK, March 26.-Jas. K. Eus-
tis. former American ambassador to
France, said last night in reference to an
interview published In the Paris Figaro
with M. Hanotaux, French Minister of
Foreign Affairs, on the attitude Of the
French government with regard to the
Spanish Cuban question, in which the
Frenchman was quoted as saying that
"There must be no conflict" between
this country and Spain:
"Since the Spanish Cuban question
has become serious the attitude Of the
French government has become one
Of To MI ttxy
discussed this question with M. Hano-
taux, have always found that his atti-
tude as regards the Spanish and United
States governments was exceedingly
correct.
IN. Hanotaux does not sympathize
with either of those parties, and they
have not the slightest influencewith him.
"The affinities of race and community
of religion between France and Spain
are not sufficiently strong to destroy the
traditional friendship between the
French and American republics. It Is
true that the French capitalists have
great interests in Spain, but 1t would be
difficult to discover how their interests
could be subserved by entangling France
in any conflict with the United States"
BRITISH INTERESTS
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, March 26.-The
British warship Cordelia left for Savan-
nah last night. Admiral Fishers flag
ship Renown, with seven other armored
cruisers of the North American fleet, has
been ordered to New York direct. The

the North American and West Indies
fleets ordered to New York with torpedo
destroyers and torpedo boats. was learn
ed by correspondent from an officer of
the British warship which left this port
for Savannah. He gave the information
unintentionally. The Talbot and Terror
are with the flagship Renown and three
of the armored cruisers. The informa-

communication is to be established be-
tween the City of Mexico and Manzanillo
on the Pacific ocean. At present branch
of the Mexican Central extends to Ameca,
and then abruptly ends. On the Pacific a
narrow-gauge line runs from Manzanillo

Colenia to Guadalajara possesses no means
of railroad communication. This gap is,
however, to be filled in, and the central

The story may or may not be true
that England refuses to interfere with
6iermany's free hand in China on the
condition that Germany does not
coerce England in Egypt, but It is a
reflection on the position OF England
that such story should even be told.
Time was when England was not sus-
pected capable of such trades and
agreements. England in an earlier age
would have asked neither advice, as
sistance nor federation in holding
Egypt. There is nothing more remark
able in modern history than the self
abandonment OF Great Britain of the
position OF first-class power.
