FRANCE WOULD LIKE TO MEDIATE
She Has Special Reasons for Being Opposed
to the Coming Fight.

She Has Special Reasons for Being Opposed
to the Coming Fight.
Washington, March 30.-There ls little
doubt that the French government is
ready to tender it's good offices as
mediator between the United States
and Spain If any intimation is conveyed
by this country that such offices would
be acceptable. Without such intima-
ton IT Is doubtful whether France will
take the Initiative. In diplomatic cir
Giles 1t Ia nointed out that the interests
OF France, both material and senti-
mental. favor an avoidance of war.
One material reason is that France Is
preparing for the international EXPOSE
ton when the worlds tide Of travel
will be turned toward the French capi-
tai. It Is said that war at such time
would be seriously prejudicial to this
great project.
Another material interest affecting
France Is that her citizens own many
Spanish securities, so that any decline
resulting from war would fall largely
on French capitalists. While these 1ue
important considerations urging France
to avert hostilities, yet they are not, of
course such as could be advanced as
the actual grounds for tender of good
offices. Such a move would be prom
Used solely on sentimental grounds
namely, on the friendship of France for
both parties engaged in this contro-
versy.
The army and navy departments con-
tinue to show many evidences Of activi-
ty, but there is not that extreme en-
ergy of preparation evident last week.
Captain Sigsbee, who arrived here yes
terday, had several talks with Secre-
tary Long during the day and at the
close of Office hours the secretary ac-
companied Captain Sigsbee to the White
House and presented him to the presi-
dent. Long says that no determination
has been reached thus far as to Cap
tain Sigsbee's next assignment. But as
one Of the high officials Of the navy
department remarked, the commander
Of the wrecked battleship can have
about anything he wants.
A board is considering what should
be done with the wreck of the Maine.
At first il seemed possible to save some
part Of the ship. and certainly the big
guns and turrets. But this has been
about abandoned and the board now
sitting Is expected to report to Secre-
tary Long in a day or two on what
final steps shall be taken. 1t is proba-

"A hundred and fifty rebels captured the

death rate from pestience in Seoul Is aw-
full. On one day. the 10th of June, there

There were terrible riots in Bombay be-
cause of the plague. All Corea is excited
because the German consul. Kreil, slapped
the minister of foreign affairs Kin Whan.

w. D. SLoAN'S COMPLAINT
European Passengers Suffer From an
Enforcement of Dinglev Bill

NEW YORK, July 13.--William D.
Sloane, who asserts that he was subjected
to gross insults by agents of the Merchants
and Manufacturers board of trade upon
his return from Europe ten days ago, has
filed formal complain with the treasury
department in Washington. Mr.. Sloane
who returned from Europe July with Mrs.
Sloane, is only one of many Americans
who have objected to the manner and
course Of these outside agents at the docks.
Elisha Dyer Jr. and Potter Palmer have
complained recently. Mr.. Sloane, how
ever, is the first to make vigorous protest
to the secretary of the treasury direct, and
his letter, referred by the department to
Collector Bidwell. now is In the hands of
Silas c. Croft. surveyor of the port, who
will make report upon the matter in a
day or two.
There are said to be 600 members OF the
Merchants and Manufacturers board of
trade. 1t has been eager in searching for
violations of the Dingley law. and asked
permission, soon after President Mckinley
steamship docks. This permission was
granted on the recommendation of Sur
veyor Croft, as the agents were expected
merely to observe the work Of the regular
customs officers and to see that justice
was done both to the government and in
coming passengers.
When this permission was granted It was
the plan to have members of the organiza-
ton perform this work. but for some time
1t has been done by paid agents. whose
energy is alleged to exceed their discretion.
In several instances they have been often
sive in their remarks about persons who
have paid less in duties than the agents
thought should have been paid. This was
particularly the csos with Mr. Sloane and
Mr.. Palmer. The latter, Il is said. was in
suited in a most outrageous manner and
will support Mr. Sloane in his complaint.
