Paris. Feb. 2o.-Wild excitement pre-
vailed on the European financial markets
to-day as the result of startling. contra
dictory reports concerning possible world
complcat tions growing out OF the war.
These rumors included the prospective
mobilization of the German and French
armies.
The evening papers also said that serious

THREE AMBASSADORS LEAVE
LONDON TEMPORARILY, BUT
COMPLICATIONS ARE DENIED

London. Feb. ao-Count Benckendorff
the Russian Ambassador, left Lonuon to-
day for st. Petersburg.
The afternoon papers made a sensation
out of his departure, connecting it with
rEmors that the Car was displeased with
his Ambassadors at Washington and Ion
don and with his late Minister at Toxic
owing to the recent turn of events, and
out of baseless rumors of threatening Eu-
ropean trouble
The Russian Embassy said positively
that Count Benckendorff had gone to St
Petersburg for three days to bid farewell
to his son. who Is going to the far East
with his regiment. The embassy added
that the Ambassadors journey was in no
way connected with his position as Am
bassador. The Foreign Office here con-
firms this.
The uneasiness exhibited on the Conti-
nent in regard to the possibility that
European war may ensue from the strus-
gle in the far East is not shared by Great
Britain. No Power has made such COM
plete naval preparation for every contn-
gency. and yet nowhere is confidence
greater that the hostilities may be con-
fined to Russia and Japan than it is in
London.
The naval and military preparations an

garded here as being mere common

The former is based upon Emperor Will
