EUROPEAN CONFLICT
The Fashoda Incident Is the Pro-
logue.
1T is NOW IN THE AIR
Great Britain Anxious : o Satisfy Her
Ambitions in the Far East-An
Alliance With the United
States.

Paris. Nov. 1.-THE Gaulois this
pine question as presenting serious
complications, says: THE thing to be
faced Is no longer a renewal of the
conflict between America and Spain.
owing to a rupture of the negotiations.
but a general European conflict. The
Fashoda incident is only the prologue
to a big drama which is soon to occu-
by the theater OF international politics,
and on reading the papers of Berlin.
London and Madrid one feels that
something uncomfortable is in the air.
Spain knows that resistance upon her
part. Isolated as she is. would give lao
chance of success. and she Is look
ing for a friend in Europe. Before
Fashoda any search would be useless,
but now England is anxious to satisfy
her ambitions in the far East"
Continuing, the Gaulois asserts that
Great Britain is trying to bring about
an offensive and defensive alliance
with the United States, of which al
lance. according to the Gaulois, Great
Britain Will reap the benefit. The
Gaulois says:
Her programme is the followins:
She Will induce the United States TO
refuse any concession to Spain and 10
refuse coaling stations in the Philip
pines to Russia and Germany. A COLI
hict breaks out. England. as Ameri-
cas- ally. intervenes. which forces the
other powers having interests in the
East to take up arms. The question
becomes no longer that of the Philip
pines. but that OF China. and finally
European war breaks out"

mission of 400 yards. to travel that dis
lance within five feet of the surface of
the water. When off Sixty-sixth street

board of inspection and the missile was
expelled from the bow of the light
craft, and with five jumps. each one
of which was Dunctuated with an ex-
pulsion of air that sent the water dying

eled the distance of a quarter of a
mile and was lassoed by the govern
ment tug. When the torpedo was fired
the Holland was not submerged, her
bow being fully is inches above the
water line, but If IL were necessary TO
fire the destroyer underneath the sur
face of the water. Captain Merris said
that IL could be accomplished just as
easy at five. 10. or Is feet under the
surface. The diving apparatus was

spectors as to the result of the expert
ments will not be made known until

Spain win surely Yield.

Washington. Nov. 12.-The state depart
ment is informed officially that Judge Day
is III in Paris. A long report was Pc
ceived by cable from him this morning
relative TO the work of the commission.
but IL made no mention OF the physical
condition of the sender. hence the depart
ment infers he is not seriously Ill and 1t
is supposed he is simply in need of rest.
IL Is believed at the next meeting OF the
Joint commission the Spaniards will yield
one important step. namely, they VIII at
least tacitly. by beginning argument on
the question, recede from the refusal TO
allow the question OF the sovereignty of
Spain over the Philippines to be ques-
toned.
The attitude OF the insurgents In the
Philippines has given the administration
considerable uneasiness. for IL Is feared
that II the insurgents are allowed to con-
tinue hostile activity there may be pro-
tests which we shall be compelled to re-
gard.

Cervers's Report of the Battle on
Santiago.


Santiago.
Chicago. Nov. IA special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
In his official report to the Spanish
minister of marine. describing the bat
tie of Santiago, Admiral Cervera gives
high praise to the humane n courte-
ous treatment accorded him and his
su~bordinates by the American author
files. He speaks Of the efforts made
by the Iowa and Gloucester to save
life, of the solicitude shown by the
Americans for the comfort of those
whom they had taken prisoners. and
finally OF the generosity OF the victors
In providing so Hospitality for them IN
the United States.
Admiral Cervera's report was for
warded to Spain through the navy de-
partment, having been translated so
that no Information of a character
valuable to the enemy might reach
Madrid. In the report made. Admiral
Cervera also says:
The result OF the battle was never

moment that her machinery stopped.
The second and third commanders
agreed with me that II was impoSs ible
longer to prolong the fight. We pro-
posed to haul down the flag. but It
was impossible on account of the great
Roadway made by the flames. BY this
time the fire had gained so rapidly it
was necessary to abandon the ship.

ARE HIGHLY GRATIFYING
Results Gained by the Exposition
Commissioner.
MORE SPACE ALLOTTED
The United States Has More Than Any
Other Foreign Nation, put 1t Took
Much Talking to Get the
Concessions.

New York. Nov. 12-Ferdinand w.
States to the Paris exposition. arrived
here to-day on the American liner st.
Louis. Concerning the mission abroad.
the commissioner said:
THE results reached are highly graf
flying and beyond expectation. When
we reached Paris we were officially in
formed in definite terms that the final
allotments to all nations had been
made n that the United States had
Its full proportion and that no more
space within or outside the buildings
could be given-the subject was a
sealed book: that we were too late in
asking for a site for the national build
ing. as the entire area that could be de-
voted for foreign pavilions had been
disposed Of.
This was the situation a month ago.
During that period many influences
were brought to bear. and the arrival of
Ambassador Cambon from the United
States. together with the return of De
Launcey Belleviiie. in charge OF the
foreign space. brought about a change
which resulted in concession after con-
cession, until we a obtained an in
crease In exhibit space of 1000 square
feet, an addition of 25 per cent. besides
every other grant We had undertaken to
secure. The United States now has an
area in excess OF any foreign nation.
A site for our national building was
assigned. equal In location and size to
hat granted to Great Britain or Ger
many. countries which have the larg-
est areas for their buildings for a SIM
liar purpose.
I'VE also secured a site for an agri-
cultural pavilion. adjoining the main
agricultural building. and the United
States was relocated SO as to be next
to the new area. A most valuable space
of b $1,000 square feet in the heart
of the exposition grounds adjoining the
manufacturers building has been
granted, likewise an annex space for
forestry contiguous to the forestry
building. 1900 square feet additional in
marine transportation and an annex to
this department of 5000 square feet
for the United States weather bureau
and special exhibits.
We also asked for a place for rep
r~esentation among the colonies exhib-
it's. which was finally obtained, al
though much explanation was required
Il convince the officials that the United
States belonged to the category of ma
tons possessing colonies"
