UNIVERSAL WAR
WILL BE PREGIPlTATED UNLESS
DIPLOMACY PREVENTS.
EUROPE HAS BEEN EN-
rECTING 1T A LONG
WHILE,
And Prominent Diplomat
Thinks the Time Is at Hand.

The Charge d. Affaires of one of
the European legations recently
made the following statement at
Washington, in an interview on the
international aspects of the war be-
tween the United States and Spain:
at may be safe to predict that
We are near a universal war unless
diplomacy prevents it. You see
Europe has been looking for It for n
long while, and every power has
been preparing To meet IL. Russia
is always ready, and we may say
the same of England. England
would have provoked war over the
Turkish trouble had she won the
United States for an ally. Now, In
my opinion as IN individual, the
time for this war is very near, and
IL may come sooner than you think.
1t will come by an attempt To stop
the American Spanish war as soon
as the latter's great fleet meets the
American squadrons, England, of
course, will not Join with the other
powers In their attempt, further
than, ! may say, the expression of
her sympathy, which will amount
TO nothing. England wants this
opportunity to be on the side
of the United States, so that
when disputes shall arise she will
be engaged IN 70 war for which she
has been preparing for long while.
The war will surely come, because
the United States will not give up
fighting spain until the resolutions
of Congress are carried through
The powers do not Intend To allow
the war now on TO continue, and
even If the United States should con
sent to declare "A truce there will be
a disagreement about the terms
for peace.
"You may rely upon what ] say
that universal war will come in this
way. Austria, France aud Italy
will for a while remain on the fence,
until England openly sides with the
United States, in which instance
Russia will join Austria and Ger
many against the United States,
Yon can rest assured that these
plans are now under consideration
by the cabinets, and that the United
States Administration knows it az
well as England does; and that il
one of the reasons the Lafayette was
set free, and why you will hear
nothing about the French officials
holding dispatches at st, Pierre in
tended for the government here
while Spanish ships were coaling
there"
