uNEAsINEss IN EUROPE.
Fear Of Anarchy at Home and Ag-
gression Abroad.

LONDON. May 12-The "St. James
Gazette" says:
Important signs of the uneasiness
of Euro0e in its fear of anarchy at
home and aggression abroad are shown
in London financial circles. Russia is
raising a loan of twelve millions, and,
more significant STILL she is raising 1t
from Germany. The Bank of England
is directing the negotiations to the ac-
Cumulation OF a sold reserve, after a
fashion without recent precedent, While
Japan, not content with the vast sum
she received from China on Saturday
is preparing for a fresh loan of fifteen
millions The. reaD3roachment be
tween Germany and Russia and Russia
and Austria is very marked.
All this, the "St. James Gazette be-
leves, Dortends a combination against
America and Great Britain. ''as we are
universally regarded as forming a part
of this transatlantic aggression on Eu-
rope" and the article warns Great Bri-
tain to prepare for a struggle which
may involve the most important events
since the fall of Napoleon"
In conclusion, the st. James Ga
zette" remarks: Europe believes
America is trying her strength on Spain
and that her inevitable victory will be
followed by similar acts of aggression
toward other Powers with interests in
the Atlantic and in the Pacific

AUSTRIA HUNGARY.
Will Not Issue a Formal Declara-
ton of Neutrality.

BUDAPEST, May 12.-Baron Banffy,
replying to an Interpolation in the low
er house of the Diet to-day, said: Ihe
Government has not thought it neces-
sary to issue formal declaration OF
neutrality in the present war Al
though it is unfortunate that the war
could not be prevented, it does not fol-
low that Austria Hungary is called
upon to adopt a special attitude in the
matter. The friendly relations of Aus
tria- Hungary with both Powers imply
an unconditional neutrality. without a
formal declaration. Moreover an Off
cial declaration of neutrality would not
correspond with Austria Hungary's
practice in similar cases, as she has
only thrice done so during the present
century, and then when the belligerents
We're Austria Hungarys immediate
neighbors.
Count Goluchowski, the Austro- Hun
garian Foreign Minister, addressing the
Budget Committee of the delegation to-
day, referred to the Hispano- American
war, and observed that neither the in
tervention of the Pope nor the greatest
