right which France has acd1irHf q
oh legations incurred by other pternationaF
agreements concerning Morocco. In short,
France wants to be assured that the con-
ference project is not designed to limit
or discredt the Franco British. Franco-
Spanish, or Franco-Italian agreements so
far as they affect Morocco.
Once assured of these points. 1t Is likely
that the chief objections to conference
are removed.
Would Not Embarrass France.
Inquiry tonight in highest German quar-
ters shows that 1t is Germanys purpose
to give every reasonable assurance on
these points 1t was said also that Ger
many sincerely desired to avoid the ap-
pearance of placing France in an embar-
RAISING or humiiating position. and it
was added that this would be made known
to Premier Rouvier in the strongest possi-
BILE manner. Moreover Germany is ready
TO remove If possible any apprehension
French officials may entertain that she
seeks territorial agrrandzement in Mo-
rocco or a port upon the Moroccan coast.
The fact that Germany asked a confer
ence should guarantee an open door.
At the same time Germany scouts the
idea that she demands guarantees that
the Anglo French entente Is not direct
ed against her.
Wounding to French Pride. \
The idea Of France being driven by
Germany is deeply wounding to the ma
tional pride, and Germany was quick 10
avert this obstacle. AS the matter now
stands Germany has freed the proposed
International conference from it's possible
menacing and humiliating features. and
thus presented. France Is disposed to
consider the proposition. II accepted by
France the present cloud will blow over,
for Englands opposition to a conference
is merely to strengthen the hand OF
France, and not because England has fur
ther political aims in Morocco.
The Temps. In its leader, reflects the
view in saying that England's
loyalty to France in the Anglo-French
entente should be equally steadfast in aid
ing France towards pacific adjustment
of the case.
At least 1t Is expected in tie hest post
ed quarters that Great Br.tain's objec-
ticn to a conference may be overcome IL
Germany's assurances show that the con-
ference Is not a menace to the Anglo
French entente or a cover for far-reacn
ing German aims.
1t Is noticeable tonight that the journals
rehecting the governments sentm

SERIOUS FIRE ON
SAVANNAH STEAMER
Extinguished in New York Har
Dor With Difficulty
PASSENGERS IN A PANIC
Tugboats Came Alongside to Take OFF
Terror-Stricken Ones, But Their
Services Were Not
Needed.

New York, June 17.-Fire which started
in the hold of the steamer Kansas city
of the Savannah line, while she was MAX
ing her way through the dense fog off
Sandy Hook early today and caused a
panic among her three score passen-
gers and which was believed to have been
oxtinguished broke oatls anew after she
had reached her dock
When the matches were removed after
the hold had been filled with steam for
several hours, the flames burst forth and
resisted every effort the combined land
and water fire fighters could make to
srbdue them. Late this afternoon the
fire was still smouldering obstinately in
the hold and tons of water was being
poured down upon It, Far down in the
bottom of the hold there is stored a large
quantity of rosin and turpentine 1t Is
feared that If the flames reach this in
flammable material a serious explosion
may occur. Several thousand water
melons which were stored in the hold
were destroyed by the heat and the cargo
of cotton has been considerably dam
aged
Escorted BY Two Boats.
The Kansas City came up the bay es-
ccrted by half a dozen tug boats and 9TH
er vessels which had been summoned to
stand by to take off her passengers should
the fire become more serious. The fire
finally was extinguished after the steamer
had reached her pier with the aid of
fire boats and land apparatus which had
been ordered to be in readiness for the
steamers arrival.
The Kansas City had sixty passengers
on board in addition to her crew Of
nearly as many and there was consid-
erable excitement on the steamer for
a while after the discovery of the blaze,
early today while the vessel was off
Sandy Hook At about the same time
some was seen issuing from the ventilat-
ors and the alarm was sounded. In
moment steam was being Injected into the
hold which had been tightly closed, life
boats had been unslung and the fire hose
had been manned. In the meantime the
passengers had been aroused.
Great Excitement In the Boat.
Naturally great excitement prevailed
when It was learned the steamer was on
fire The officers succeeding in quieting
the frightened ones after tugs had been
called to the Kansas city's assistance
and they took the situation with COM
paratlve coolness, during the remainder
OF the journey up to the city.
When the steamer reached her pier
the fire was thought to be under con-
troll but again burst forth.
The fire was declared to have been ex-
tinguished after the fire apparatus had
flooded the hold. The barrels of tur-
pentine and rosin were not reached by
fhe flames.

MIMIC BATTLE IS
VERY SPECTACULAR
Every Gun of Fleet Firing at
the Same lime
TEXAS HAULS DOWN FLAG
Guns at Fort Morgan and Fort Wool
Open on the Squadron and DAM
age Is Estimated to Have
Been Enormous.

Fort Monroe, Va. June 17.--The last
half hour Of the war game between the
army and navy, ended IS noon today,
eclipsed all engagements 81 every feature
of the spectacular week of sham battles.
The fleet under Admiral Diclxins, headed
by his flagship Texas, sailing in single
column close in shore passed every gun
of Fort Monroe. Every ship of the fleet
was in action at the same time and every
gun of the fifteen ships was being served
to the limit of rapidty. On the one side
was Fort Monroe as a target and on the
other Fort Wool. With equal energy and
rapidity the forts replied. While the
squadron formation was one that would
be impossible in war, 1t depicted a scene
which left nothing to the Imagination in
the realization of the magnifcence of
battle. Every effect was there except the
effect of the shells, Strategy and play
for position and favorable conditions was
abandoned that the inspiration of battle
might be attained by the men behind the
guns.
Vivid "Death Struggle" Effect.
That the closing minutes of the game
produced this death struggle effec.
there can be no doubt In the line of
battle three of the monitors followed the
Texas. They were the Florida, Arkansas
and Nevada, all painted war color. Then
came the cruisers Newark and Atlanta
painted white. The old Hartford was next
in line. The monitor Puritan, with the
naval militia of the district of Columbia,
preceded the four destroyers, Whipple.
Worden. McDonough and Stewart, while
the Hornet Siren and Sylvia brought up
the rear.
The battle flag of the Texas went down
and she ceased firing as she had gotten
well past the forts and this example was
followed by the units of the squadron as
they successfully reached the same line
In this way the conflict reached its end
gradually and as the last gunboat went
out of action the fort sent up a huge
smoke bomb indicating that the joint
exercises of the army and navy were at
an end The ships proceeded up Hamp-
ton Roads after congratulations had been
exchanged between Admiral DiclSins and
General Wade.
