Five of the Newly Indicted Persons
 Will Plead Guilty.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec. 2.-Attor. ney John McDonald's announcement that he expected five of his clients to plead guilty in the superior court was the principal development in the water plant poodle scandal today. Five of Attorney Mc'Donald's clients appeared before the police magistrate and waiv- ed examination to the higher court. It is generally understood that those who pleaded guilty of accepting bribes will be punished by fines and no fmprison- ment, and that they will be used as witnesses by the prosecution in the case of those of the accused city of> cials who insist upon having trials.
 The five men who waived eXamina- tion today are eX-Alderman John Donovan, Clerk F. Slocum, John Me- Lachlan, Reyner Stonehouse, and Cory P. Bissell, q former member of the board of works.
 Ex-Alderman Lozier, it is said, will waive examination tomorrow, but AL derman Johnson of the Seventh ward will insist upon an examination in the lower court.

The Conduct of Great Britain Leads to a Belief That She Will Ultimate ly Desert Japan After Having Cain ed Her Ends in India.

Berlin, Dec 2.-Dispatches indicat- ing the extreme tension of the Russo Japanese situation has almost monop- oiized the attention of the German press and official world yesterday ana today the danger of war was regarded, as greater than ever. But this feeling was changed by the receipt of the an uouncement from Paris that a basis of settlement had been reached.
 This made the financiers hopeful and prices on the Rourse opened strong. Later tide of alarming dispatches quickly reversed the favorable senti mcnt and stopped the trading abso- lutely
 Official circles. however. take a more hopeful view of the situation than the public.
 The hope that war would be avert ed is based, to a large extent. on the belief that Great Britain will not earnestly support Japan.
 According to this off1C1aI view, Great Britams present policy is based on d desire to keep Russia engaged until Lord Curzon. the viceroy of India, has completed his tour of the Persian gull and while the forward movement ot the British in Thibet is in progress.

REYES RECEPTION.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge, called at the state department today and arranged with Secretary Hay that the latter should formally receive General Reyes tomor- rcw. The doctor discussed at length with the secretary the existing situa- tiOn, but will leave it to General Reyes to broach the suggestions with which they have been charged. The Colom- bian government is locking to a set tlement of the dispute between Col1m- bia and Panama
 Secretary Hay will give courteous reception to General Reyes. but it is clear in view that the administraticn's steps taken as to Panama cannot be retracted, and it follows that Panama. being in sovereign possession oe the right of way of the canal, there can be no negotiations with Colombia looking to the acquisition from hcr of any right to the canal strip.
