GREAT BRITAIN PREPARING
A Crisis is Expected to Occur in the Far
East.
Large Quantities of Coal Being Stored for
the Use of the English Squadron
In Asiatic Waters. ir

New York. May 1s.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Great Britain is evidently preparing
for a crisis which she expects will occur
in the far East. Official information
which has been received at the navy
department shows that she is buying
up great quantities of coal in the far
Western states and is storing 1t at her
yard at Esquimault. The cause for Great
Britains action is not known in naval
circles, but it is thought that the Brit
ish government desires to have on hand
large supply of fuel which will
be useful for her squadron in Asiatic
waters in case the situation in the far
East should be productive of war.
Because of these purchases by Great
Britain the price of coal gas has gone
up and the navy department is COM
PEELED to pay higher rate per ton than
heretofore.
For the purpose of preventing deal
ers from taking advantage of the gov
eminent as well as for the benefit of
naval ships the department has deter
mined to store coal of its own at Pu-
get Sound and Secretary Long has di-
rected Civil Engineer Endicott to build
a coal shed at that poi.lt.
1t is proposed to keep five thousand
tons always on hand so that naval ships
will not suffer embarrassment or de-
lay in coaling when they put into the
navy yard at Puget Sound for repairs
or docking.

FRENCH ANTAGONIsM.
1t May Affect Congressional Action Relat-
ing to the Exposition of 1900.

Chicago, May 1S.-A special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
Shall the United States retaliate up
on France for her alleged sympathy
with Spain by refusing to make an ex-
hiblt In the big exposition OF 1900?
This question is causing no end of
discussion among members of Con-
gress. Gen. Grosvenor declares that
he will oppose any measure appropri-
ating money for an American exhibit
He asserts his firm belief that the
steamer Lafayette. captured and re-
leased by our warships, delivered
French artillerymen to the Spanish
and that these Frenchmen killed our
sailors at Cardenas. Congressman
Dockery of Missouri. 1t Is said, is of
one mind with Gen. Grosvenor.
Attention is likewise called to the
lagrantly hostile attitude OF the
Partisan press. out of half a hundred
newspapers published In Paris. only
three are at all favorable to this coun-
try.
Congress has already appropriated
1000 for the Paris exposition, of
which only one-half was spent. This
was at the service OF the late Commits
sioner Moses T. Handy, Strong oppo-
sition 10 any further appropriation is
to be looked for.

ready in about a year from now. for 1t
takes something like three years to
plan and complete Il vessel of this type.
Besides, II is said, there may be some
difficulty IN obtaining the great amount
OF armor that win be required, owing
TO the fact that the government has
not taken kindly to the high prices
which have been In vogue for some
time. But by the time this material
is needed II Is thought that some
anicablo arrangement will have been
made whereby the heavy steel plates
can be obtained on satisfactory
terms.
The Alabama will be one of three
powerful sea going battleships for the
construction of which provision was
made by the act of Congress of June
10. 1895. by this act the cost of each
of the three ships, exclusive of arma-
mont was limited to S3.750.000. The
Alabama and her sister ships, the Iili-
nois and the Wisconsin. which are now
In progress Of construction. are COM
binations of the best features of the
Iowa and kearsarge types, modified
by such advances and improvements
as experience has suggested to be most
desirable.

officials that the French attitude on
the tariff and other questions between
the two governments Is dictated by
Frances sympathy for Spain, and
there is no question that the French
government is giving her moral sup
port. II the Spanish fleet should sue
coed In raising any part of the Amer
lean blockade of Cuba, the officials
have no doubt that France would be
one of the first nations to raise In

alleged ineffectiveness of the block
AIDE.
As an offset to Frances attitude.
that assumed by Great Britain is very
refreshing to officials and no surprise
need be expressed II most of the
troublesome questions between the two
governments are promptly and effectu-
ally settled.
1t Is known that the reciprocity
negotiations between the United States
and Great Britain for the Bermuda,
Bahama and West Indian Islands be-
longing TO Great Britain are progress
ing most satisfactorily, and there Is
some reason to believe that Canada
will soon enter into reciprocity negotia-
lions with this country.
Special Ambassador Foster is also
busy with the Bering sea seal contro-
versy, and 1t Is quite possible that a
solution of this question may be ex-
pected within the near future.
One of the most pointed features OF
the good relations existing between the
United States and Great Britain IL
the fact that Sir Julian Pauncefote is
| n daily visitor to the state department.
| and that his relations with the officials
| of the department are of the most cor
| dial character.
| It is denied In official circles that
anything is being done looking to the
| formation of an alliance between the
two countries, and 1t Is said the ar
bitratlon treaty Is still on the shelf.

The expectation of war was not en-

of ammunition for the great guns on

L was on hand, but It was believed
to be essential to the effective use of
some very good ordnance In the de-
lenses of Havana that the supplies of
ammunition should be augmented at

with great positiveness, brings much
of this essential ammunition and will
run some risks to reach n port where,
with his powerful fleet, he can break

The launch viii take place at noon.
Miss Morgan, daughter of Senator
Morgan Of Alabama, is to break the
bottle of wine over the battleship's
bow and give her new name to her.
For the last two weeks, John Keen,

cision the bilge-ways, which are pre-
pared with the tnllows secured In their
proper positions all ready for the set
ting up of the huge oak wedges.
As she rests easily, ready to plunge
into the water, the battleship looks
like a big red giant chained TO tho
earth, but prepared at the word to
spring forward and be completed, so
that she may ,be able to take part in
