PrsSent Crisis.
LONDON, June So.-Though on cas-
nal reading the Marquis of saitS6ury's
speech at the United Club last night
seems to have been an attempt to carry
water on both shoulders, the diplomatic
body here constructs 1t as pronounce
nens OF Great Brltain's partially.
There is no doubt the premier intended
his remarks as a hint to the powers
that Great Britain is in sympathy with
the UnHed States States, and the intl-
Imation to that effect was called forth
BY Genany's alleged attitude in the
question Of the philippine islands.
The declaration that the United
States IS animated In the present war
by an elevated philanthropy" is the
passage upon witch stress Is laid, and
many people fnd connection between
the premier's speech and the recent
visit of Colonel John Hay, the United
States ambassador, who again confer
red With the marquis OF Salisbury yes
terday, In the course OF another visit
to-duy Colonel Hay officially informed
the marquis OF Salisbury OF the block
ade Of the southern coast OF Cuba. II IS
known that the Spanish ambassador:
Count Rascon, cabled the marquis OF
salisbury's speech to Madrid, although
Il could not have been surprise to him,
as he recently informed colleague
that he had unquestionable information
to the effect that there was an "ironclad
alliance" between Great Britain and the
United States before the war was be
gun. ,-,..
OF the highest position asserts that It Is
due to the German cabinet to say that
Germanys attitude has been thus far
correct, that the emperor Of Germany
was determined to interject himself In

ted States and that he has only Seea
restrained by the imperial chancellor,
Prince Hohenlohe and the minister for
foreign affalrs, Baron Won Bueiow. from
some step which the United States
would be obliged to resent.

FOURTH RxPEDITIoF

To the Philippines Is Almost Completed.
Troops Drilling Constantly.
SAN FRANCISCO. June So.-Prepar-
ations for the fourth Philippine expedi-
ton are almost completed. The troops
ut Camp Merritt are equipped and are
drilling five hours daily. Commlssary
stores for another expedition can be oh
tanned and put aboard vessels within q
short time. The sole cause OF delay IS
that on account of chartoring vessels
and the necessity of refttIng passenger
steamers before they can be made to
serve as troop ships. Camp Merritt stlll
contains more than 10000 men and to
transport such an army to Manila
twelve or Afteen vessels will be aeeded.
II is not probable that all the troops re-
malning here will be sent away in one
immense fleet. DetachmentS OF three or
four vessels viii sail at intervals when
ever they may be ready.

TWO HUNDRED LIVES LOST.
A Terrible Tale Told by the Recent
Storm, on New England Coast.

Boston, Nov. 30.-Tne news from the
various districts of New England,
which suffered the most severely in
Sundays storm, received late, today,
was quite encouraging, although
quick recovery is not expected. and in
fact seemed remote earlier in the day.
Another northeast gale swept over
southeastern New England and al
A. NJ, the wind blew 30 miles an hour
at Woods Holl, increasing to so miles
at noon and then shifting to the north
west. The snow was wet and it quick
ly destroyed whatever wire construc
ton that had been accomplished since
Sundays storm.
News of additional wrecks, is coming
in slowly, but the most important
wreck reported, today, was that of the
Light. Her entire crew went to their
destruction.
A conservative estimate of the loss
of life from vessels in New England
waters greatly exceeds 200, including
the steamer Portlands victims. If all
the crews of vessels the safety of
which are still in doubt, have perished.
then the list of dead will total far be-
yond any figures now set.
