THE failure OF peace negotiations
undertaken by this government in
the Transvaal trouble has given
rise to many wild rumors aud mueh
speculation. 1t is now asserted
that England's declared purpose of
destroying the independence of the
two republics will cause concert
OF the European powers TO prevent
this accession of territory by Great
Britain, unless the latter is
strongly supported by this govern
ment. In this connection the news
from Washington that strong
squadron will be formed and sent
to the. Chinese coast By this gov
ernment is causing much specula-
ton. 1t is asserted that this move
on the part of the administration.
while ostensibly for the purpose of
maintaining the open door policy,
is really intended to impress the
powers with the belief that an
offensive alliance exists between
this government and that of Great
Britain and that any interference
on their part will be met by joint
action. 1t may be that the naval
demonstration in Chinese waters is
intended to operate as charged,
but should the powers disregard
the implied threat and interfere in
behalf of the two republics it is not
at all probable that the administra-
tion would proceed so far as to join
England in actual hostilities. The
temper of the American people is
too well known FOR the administra-
ton to jeopardize its political pros
poets in that manner. Moral
support is all that England could
EXPECT.
