NEW YORK, April 7.-President Nc
Kinley's message is awaited here with deep
interest, says the London correspondent of
the World. 1t is learned from a trust
worthy source that while the political
situation was discussed In diplomatic
circles today, and Mr.. Balfour expressed
the strong desire Of the British government
that peace be maintained, no definite sug-
gesticn was made with that object.
The principal errand Of Ambassador Hay
to the Foreign Office Wednesday. was to
exchange views on the subject Of the posi-
tion of the United States with reference
TO the declaration Of Paris. AS neither
the United States nor Spain signed that
instrument. serious questions might arise
II either should exercise the right of search
on neutral ships.
1t is understood that England, having re-
ceived an assurance from Spain that she
would not exercise the right, approached
the United States with a suggestion that
she follow Spains example.
