No Cause for Excitement.

London, April 21.-Notwithstanding the protests of some of the newspapers and shrieks of indignation from the jingo press, British government officials decline to admit that there is anything in the far eastern naval situation to cause ex- citement. or to show that it approaches an acute stage.
 In other words, the foreign office as sumes the attitude of a much interested spectator of an intensely dramatic situa- tion which is approaching climax in which by some mischance Great Britain might be called on to play part.
 The announcement in the Paris dis patches to the Associated Press that Dr. Motono, the Japanese minister there, has called upon Foreign Minister Delcasse with regard to the question of neutrality has not changed the views of officials at the foreign office. where it was pointed out today that Japan probably had not made formal specific protest but simp- ly desired assurance that France will continue to maintain neutrality and not afford the Russians any advantage fncon- sistant with Frances responsibilities as a neutral.

This assurance of the condition of Mir. Jefferson was accepted by his family as indicating that the worst Is over, and it came after the family had noted many decided changes for the better during the day.

 Trip-BeIieve the Worst
 Is Over.

 The report to the effect that MT. Jef- ferson was suffering with pneumonia have been untrue, his illness having been due to oyer exertion while on visit to Hobe sound. Added to over exertion, was q general weakness caused by Indigestion, from which he suffered last spring. This ailment returned and was in its effect very pronounced.
 Tuesday night when there was such decided change for the worse it came af- ment. But though he told his son Frank, who was at his bedside at that time, that he wanted to pass away quietly, indicat- ing that he appeared fearful of the end, he was the first to say that he would re- cover and today he has been talking cheerfully, and asking that arrangements be made for going to his northern home.
 Able to Retain Nourishment.
 From what Dr. Potter says, the as- suranee for recovery came when MT. Jeff ferson was able to retain nourishment This favorable condition was pronounced today when he called hourly for food. and was retaining all given him Chicken broth was his chief diet for the forenoon. and this afternoon he has taken mild tea and toast
 At o'clock he asked to be permitted to sit up, and his request was granted His room is on the second hoor of his cottage, and only about fifty yards from the ocean which he so admires. He did not tire, and enjoyed the cool breezes while chatting with the nurse.
 Despite the fact that MT. Jefferson has been almost at the point of death. pr. Potter, who lives at West Palm Beach, two miles from the Jefferson home, has not been constantly at the bedside of his patient, except during the few hours Monday night when the change for the worse occurred, and he was called. MT. Jefferson revived to such an extent that his physician felt Justified in returning home. and making only visits at intervals of three hours, each time noting an im- provement. But at 4 o'clock this after noon Dr. Potter left the bedside and said to the reporter of the Associated Press at 7:9O o'clock tonight:
 "I will not go to the Jefferson home tonight unless called"
