REMARKABLE EXPRESSION
ny a Former Governor oftho bahama Is
Landslide Points out En.inn,i's oppor-
tunity to Gain onr Good VIII. mud nj
the: anne Time br OF Benefit to Both Matt
Ions, and Incidentally Have a Strong
Bearing on tho Far Eastern Crisis.

LONDON. March 9.-Sir George VIII
liam Desvoux. formerly governor OF
the bahama Islands, and more recently
governor OF Hong Kong, in an interview
to-day on the far eastern crisis, said
Great Britain ought to Immediately
seize the opportunity Of expressing cor
dial sympathy with the United States In
her efforts 10 secure autonomy for Gu
ba.
The time, he said. was opportune to
express the determination Of Great Bril-
tain TO aid the United States with her
fleet against any attack upon her coast.
This, Sir George Desvoux added, would
prevent war with Spain. md would
make general the American sympathy
with Great Britain. which was now on
ly partial. This, he concluded. would
be enormously to the advantage OF both
nations, while also assisting in tho So
tuition of the Chinese question. He re-
marked In conclusion that such an OPP
portunity OF "anneallng the two Eng
disappearing nations may never recur."
