1.-THE YeIIozo Danger. "

Berlin. Aug. 20--A dispatch TO the Cologne
Gazette" from ST. Petersburg, dated yesterday.
says
The situation in the Far East is becoming
more acute Even IN Manchuria the Chinese
are assuming an insolent attitude toward the
Russians and in particular toward the troops.
At one place they threw stones at the COM
rnander of the troops. While all the Russians
are objects of insult. spirit Of opposition to the
Chinese Government is also manifested
news agency dispatch received here from
Port Arthur says.
From the different provinces Of China come
reports Of a rising which threatens to involve
the whole country. The semi-oflcial 'NovkkraF
says:
The moment has come when. in view Of the
anita gonism of German and British interests, an
Anglo-RUssian IA pproehement is desirable, as
counterpoise to the movement in Germany and
America which is crossing the interests Of Rus
STA and Great Britain, and to the activity OF
Japan, which wishes 10 make the Straits OF
Corea a Yellow Bosporus. At present, Russian
and British interests nowhere cash. An Anglo
Russian alliance is possible and it is also neces-
sary in order to protect Europe against the
Yellow Danger"
The Novkkrai' makes a strong attack on the
Russian papers which urge Russia to wind up
her affairs in Manchuria. and which describe
her policy in the Far East IS a costly blunder."

ENGLAND KEEPS QUIET
AdmraLty Denies That Fleet Vas
Ordered to ,SaLOnicG.

London, Aug 20-The Admiralty to-day de-
MED the statement printed in The Daily Chron-
icle' that Admiral Domville, commanding the
British Mediterranean Squadron, of the coast
Of Portugal. had received urgent orders 10 dis
patch innledia tely some of his ships to Salonlca

British force had been ordered to Turkish
waters, and that it was not expected that such
action would be taken, in view of Great Brit
aims announced support OF the policy of Rus
sia and Austria, unless a radical change in the
situation occurs.
The British Foreign Office has been notified
Of the orders issued TO the Italian squadron,
which appear TO have been communicated to all
the capitals and which the Italian diplomats
say do not mean that Italy intends to with
draw in the slightest degree from cooperation
with the powers
The Austrian Embassy here vouches for the
continuance of the harmonious agreement be-
tween the powers relative TO Macedonia
Neither the Austrian. the Russian nor the Italian
embassy has any knowledge of the reported ex-
changes Of communications between the Cont
mental powers in regard 10 a joint naval demon
stra1ion of Salonica. Great Britain is playing
minor role. letting Russia and Austria take
the lead. and is not disposed to encourage the
insurgents by engaging in a naval demonetra-
ton, which. i is considered, could only be con-
rnent
All the embassies here unite in the statement
that the news from Macedonia is exaggerated.
Il is officially reported, however, that Turkey
has about one hundred thousand troops in the
disturbed district and this number is accepted
as being an indication that large majority Of
the population are engaged in the instruction.
While there IS Z general belief that the United
States viii not intervene in Turkey, interest is
displayed in diplomatic circles to whether
the authorities At Washington will order Amer
lean warships 10 Turkish waters. The United

COLOMBIA AND THE CANAL TREATY
The State Department Asks Minister Beau
pre- for More Definite Information.

Washington. Aug. 20.-NIinister Beaupre. at
Bogota, has been asked by the State Depart
ment to send more definite information con-
corning proceedings about the Panama Canal
treaty. but there IS no way of telling how long
the message will be delayed. owing to the in
terrupted Geographic communication between
Buena Ventura and Bogota. The fact that two
messages Of the same date reached the depart
ment with interval of four days between
them shows how irregular this mode of COM
mUnication has become. The trouble seems to
be with the land lines. and it is understood that
heavy tropical growth has interfered with the
wires. The only dispatch received to-day from
Minister Beaupre was dated August u and was
indefinite although it conveys the impression
that further efforts are being made to secure
favorable action the treaty
The Costa Rican Minister called Acting
Secretary Adee to-day, but it said that his
visit of courtesy and had no reference
to the canal question.
