London. Sept. 30.-.Iudgng from APP
Dearanccs the British press is preparing
Se way for the announcement that Lord
Salisbury has failed to agree to the pro-
kposals contained in the German note.
Ihe papers which ut first angrily declar-
ed that the statement regarding LORD
Salisbury's determination watts inaccurate
are now either silent or are taking the
view that after all it is doubtful if it
would be advisable for Great Britain to
Tbecome party to such stringent meas
,lre. AS Il matter of fact the statement
created so much excitement and brought
isuch severe comment from Berlin that
Vt may result in Great Britain's formal
lcply not being delivered and may induce
p,tiermany to agree to compromise ar

increases the likelihood of this happen
tbing. IL is pointed out that il would GER

Meanwhile the attitude Of the Euro

sapttacks upon the govrrnmcnt. The chief

Mr. Stanhopc replied. Il will not stop

'hcrlain. however is not expected to take
the matter into the courts. But he hit
back hard with personal bitterness

Pnsualy scdate cabinet ministers.
The latest feature of Mr.. Chamber
