ATTITUDE OF FRANCE.
Municipal Council Adopts Resolutions
Safety of America.

Paris, Nov. 4-The municipal council
passed resolutions offering its entire sym
pathy to the Beers, who are struggling
for independence" expressing regret that
the European powers had not interviewed
to prevent the conflict, and hoping that
peace would be speedily secured.
London, Nov. 4.-The rumors of a con-
tinental anti-British coalition continue to
occupy the French papers. Referring to
the alleged Anglo-American understand
ing, said to be an outcome Of the Hispa-
no-American war, the Figaro says:
''Ihe Washington cabinet is convinced
that had it not been for the resolute at
titude of Great Britain the Mckinley adj
ministration would have had to face a
European coalition in Spains behalf tc
deprive the United States of the fruits
of victory. The English played so well
ON this string that at the present mo-
ment if Europe did not remain in a po-
sition of strict neutrality it would not
be long before United States fleet
showed it's flag ON the eastern and south
ern coast of Africa"
