tremely improbable.
Washington, April 2S.-The war sit
uation is substantially this: The block
aiding squadron remains passive before
Havana, with no present purpose of
bombarding, or of drawing the fire of
the shore batteries. The strategic pur-
pose of effective blockade of the Cuban
capital is being accomplished to the en-
tire satisfaction of the authorities here.
There is no indication that part of the
fleet will be withdrawn for the purpose
of affording additional protection to
north Atlantic ports. AS to the re-
ports of the imminence of a naval bat
tie off the Philippine islands, the naval
authorities here seriously doubt
whether the Spanish fleet will make a
stand against the American ships.
Their reason for this belief is that
the Spanish fleet is very inferior in
number and quality to the American
force under Commodore Dewey.
There is no certainty that there will
be an enga cement at all in the imme-
date future, the main purpose of the
expedition being to seize and hold some
suitable Spanish territory in the Phil
ippines as a base of operations in
Asiatfc waters. 1t is possible that this
can be done without attacking the other
at all, by Selling suitable port on
some adjacent island. without fortifi-
cations, the sympathy of whose inhab-

Increasing Marine Insurance Rates

increasing Marine Insurance Rates.
New York, April 27.-Marine insur-
ance rates took another jump yester-
day. British companies have increased
the rates on American bottoms so per
cent. They now charge a premium of
1917 per cent for long voyages, and in
some cases as high as per cent for
transatlantic voyages. This advance in
the rates is said to have been made on
account of the uncertain position of
the Spanish navy and of the fact of
Spanish privateers having been re
ported on the coast of Great Britain

France Preparing for 1t; England Ready
Only Diplomacy Can Avert 1t.
London, Oct. 25.-Never since Great
Britain and France began to dispute
over Egypt, nor during the most acute
stage of the Niger differences between
those countries, has the situation
looked so ominous as today In spite
of the hope expressed in the journals
of both countries that the matter
would be amicably arranged. it is
fact that the French naval and military
authorities are making feverish prepar-
atiOns for war, and, though calm reigns
at the British doCkyards at Portsmouth.
Chatham and Devonport, it is only the
calm of preparedness.
Significant orders have been arriving
there from the admiralty, indicating
that Great Britain and France are on
the brink of war. The admiralty has
ordered every seagoing warship to have
Its crew made up to the full compile
ment, as ordered in case of mobiiza-
tion. The order practically means the
complete filling prospectively of every
ships company in detail. Four tor
pedo-boat destrOyers which were about
to be fitted with new water.tube boilers
have had their orders countermanded,
and will be instructed to redraw their
stores. Officers on leaves of absence
and unemployed have been notified to
hold themselves in readiness to COM
mission reserves if required.
The French statesmen, however, still
cling to the hope that the Marquis of
Salisbury will offer some exchange.

Attitude of Philippine Insurgents Is
Menacing-Dewey and Otis Prepared.
Manila, Oct. 25.-The attitude of
the insurgent troops has become very
menacing. Their supplies are growing
scarce, and they are becoming desper-
ate. Their leader assured the troops,
who have had no pay for months, that
they will soon capture Manila.
The Filipino newspapers insist upon
absolute independence, and denounce
annexation to the United States or any
protectorate with equal energy.
The American authorities, naval and
military, are taking precautionary
measures, although no immediate
trouble is anticipated.
The commission of Spaniards sent
here recently by General Rios, Spain's
chief representative in the Philippines
and governor-general of the southern
portions of the archipelago, arranged a
temporary commercial convention. Ac-
cordingly inter-island traffic was re-
sumed, but it is now again interrupted,
this time by orders from General Rios.
The steamer San Nicholas, which left
Manila yesterday flying the American
flag, was compelled to return by a
Spanish gunboat, whose commander
offered as plea for his action that the
crew consisted of Filipinos, who might
smuggle contraband articles. The San
Nicholas, after reporting her experience,
sailed again. followed by the United
States gunboat McCulloch.
The insurgent steamer Muirola en-
tered the harbor flying the insurgent
flag, which was promptly hauled down
by the Americans.
Yesterday the British consul at Ma
nil convened meeting of merchants
to discuss the commercial deadlock.
British capital to the amount of $780,
10000 has been lying idle here for six
months. In the existing conditions,
business relations with the provinces
have been in many cases directly sus-
pended. The meeting resolved to make
an urgent appeal to the British govern
ment to endeavor to hasten q settle
ment of pending issues.
