WASHINGTON, May sa-The navy
tepartmen. has settled down to qu.e.ly
wait for definite resu,ts In .he naval
programme in West Indian waters.
Every inquiry Is directed toward the
location Of the prospective equadrons,.
and the chances Of an early conflict. But
the sum total OF the Official advicea
throws little or no iigh. on the tine
when battle may occur. It Is said by
those best acquainted With the situation
that the decisive fight may occur With
In the next TWO hours, or may not occur
Tor several days. possibly several weeks.
At the same time the authorities be-
heve that the chances are greatly les
sened sof Admiral Ceryga's prolonging
MS elusive plan for, any Considerable
time. There are several reasons sor
this, but the main one Is that the Span
ish ships have made threads on their
coal supply. The run across from Cape
Verde used up the greater II not all OF
this supply! Since then stops have been
made at Curacao, Martinique and Saat,-
ago, but at no one OF these places has
It been possible TO take on more than
enough coal for temporary purposes. AS
against the small supplies the Spanish
ships have been consuming much coal
on their elusive runs.
There are no other coal!ng depots In
the WeSt Indian islands open to the
Spanish ships except for their mos tenn
pora-y needs. IN short. nava, officials
believe the Spanish admiral is now in

stock OF ctal used up. with scant add.

PARTITION OF CHINA BEGUN.
English Press Severely Criticise Britain
Foreign Policy.

London. March 7.-All the morning
papers comment on the menacing as
pect II affairs In the far East.
The Daily Chronicle, in Il strong edi-
torial. says: "As rebuff to Lord
Salisbury. nothing could be meaner
and more painful. Russia has simply
begun the partition of China II any
body asks what China will do the an
swer is simple. There is no such thing
as China. The real questions are:
What will England do, and what will
Japan do?'
IF ever Great Britain needed a
strong man, II is now, and the country
will learn with dissatisfaction that
again at moment of acute crisis the
premier's health compels him to go
abroad. Thus, both the queen and
prime minister are to be absent when
their presence is peculiarly needed"
The ministerial Standards editorial,
milder but to the same effect as the
Daily Chronicles, says: Years may
pass In the execution of these designs,
but from the moment the covenant is
signed, the partition of China Is be
gun. The disguise is too thin to be
meant to deceive. 1t is no wonder that
the eyes of the nation are fixed in
eager expectation upon Japan. The
question remains whether England will
resist Russia or proceed to restore the
equilibrium by independent measures
of her own"

AMERICA ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
Comments of tho London Press on the
Spain American Crisis.

London, March S.-The Times edltori-
ally says this morning: III Spain is
placed in an awkward position respect
ing the Lee incident she must thank
the indiscretion of her foreign office.
She cannot blame President Mckinley.
Mr. Cannon's bill can hardly be eX-
planned by the Lee incident. 1t is prob
ably due to the rumors that Spain is
purchasing warships.
I'VE do not believe that Spain de-
sires war, but II she does this evidence
of Americas alertness offers most eff
fectual check. President Mckinley APP
pears to be adhering Loyalty to the
policy of firmness, caution and pacific
circumspection he has hitherto pursued.
No doubt he has the support of the
sober and conscientious mass of Ameri-
can people. but he has had to face out
bursts OF popular clamor that weaker
man might have mistaken for the voice
of the country.
"The completely of the Spanish gov
eminent in the Maine disaster Is hy-
pothesis too monstrous and irrational
to be entertained. and. except that.
there is nothing impossible of arrange
ment between Spain and America. while
the intractable nature of Cuba's disor-
ders cannot lbut inspire thoughtful
Americans with serious doubt as to
lnt Wisuoii Vi
The Daily News, in its editorial on
the Cuban situation, says: We can
not doubt as to the ultimate issue OF a
war between the United States and
Spain, but America might have u bad
quarter of an hour before victory. Eu-
ropean alliances against the United
States may be left out of the question,
despite the talk of Spain's friends. The
attitude of the Spanish American re-
publics, however. may give the Ameri-
cans pause. The one thing needful So
far as England is concerned. is that
those who haW SO often mismanaged
our relations with the United States
should not repeat their historic mis-
takes.
1T may be taken for granted that
America wants nothing from us but
sympathy and that with or without II
she will come out on the right side.
But the United States would never for
get any momentary failure on our part
to do prompt Justice, on the detestable
doctrine that Americas difficulty is
Great Britain's opportunity. That doc
trine is sure to be preached in its own
bad time'by some of our jingoes. but
we must take care that they do not
speak for the nation.'
