Wiser Heads, However, Believe That
the Affair VIII Blow Over In
Short Time-Great Britain Is
Greatly Irritated Over Conditions
at Delagoa Bay.

New York. Dec. ia dipatch to the
Herald from Paris says: The demands
that are being made in certain quarters
in England for immediate action on the
part of the British government to pre-
vent the transportation Of supplies to
the Beers by way of Delagoa bay have
quickened French interest in the ru-
mored possibility of trouble between
the United States and Great Britain
in consequence of the alleged seizure by
British cruisers of American flour off
Lourenzo Marquee. Nothing so tickles
the French palate as the merest sus-
picion of a possibility of seeing an
Anglo-Am6rican quarrel grow out of
the Transyaal war. NJ. Flourens, for
mer minister of foreign affairs. in the
following remarks on the subject re-
fleets the moderate French opinion:
In my judgment the British naval
commander acter over-hastily if he
made the seizure reported Such action
would be particularly serious in the
case of American ships, but on the other
hand, that American cargoes are the
ones involved is sufficient ground for
assurance that no new international
complications will arise. No breach of
the present friendly relations between
the two countries can be regarded as
possible, and in a very few days the
episode probably will sink into insig-
nificance.
British Are Irritated.
Some such incident as the one now
occupying the Washington state de-
partment was to be foreseen, owing to
the British governments natural irri-
tation over the trend of affairs at Della
goa bay. If the rumors that succor is
reaching the Beers by way of Lourenzo
Marquee are true, then Portuguese East
Africa is likely to become an interesting
center of war operations for such vio-
lation of neutrality Great Britain cam
not tolerate. Downing street probably
will put an end to the abuse, if it ex-
lists, but / do not think the result will
be Portugal's loss of colony.
"All the news from Lourenzo Mar
queZ, however. is too vague to serve
as ground for an opinion, and those
here are rash who attempt to prophesy
just what will be the course of events

Days went by while he waa waiting
