LONDON, May G.-The disquietude
over what may be vaguely described as
the European situation, which was dis
cussed in recent dispatch, has con-
Siderably intensified
Both the British and French govern
ments are seriously aDprehensiVe te-
garding the possible developments.
This alarm has been again reflected in
financial circles. the markets being on
the verge of decentralization.
There is not yet any official sign OF
the crisis. beyond the sudden order
pcstponing the British naval naneu-
vers indefinitely.
1t may be said safely that this IN
rrecedeHted action viii be understood
perfectly In Berlin, where il probably
will be interpreted also as peremp-
tory warning.
1t is impossible TO speak more def
nitely at the present moment.
This carefully worded cable dispatch
undoubtedly refers to the strained re-
li.tions between FraIce and England
on the one side and Germany on the
other over the situation in Morocco.
Kaiser Wilhelm has recently indicated
his dissatisfaction with the Franco
British treaty, which recognized French
supremacy in Morocco affairs. and has
declared that Germany viii protect her
interests there. dfsregarding the treaty
entirely.
In seeking the sympathy of the United
States Government the Kaiser conveyed
TO the State Department, through his
minister at Washington, the information
that Germany is standing for the prin-
ciple of the open door for commerce in
Morocco.
State Department officials have init
mated that this principle was not seri-
ously menaeed by the Franco British
treaty.

Japan Asks France

It Is only fair to recall that two days
before the minister's visit admiral de
Jonquieres left Saigon to carry out dis

New Base at Hainan
For Rogestvensy's Ships

HUE, Upper Cochin China, May g.
Reports OF coasting steamers and small
er craft arriving in this port indicate
that Admiral Rogestvensky is hugging
the coast OF Hainan island, evidently
with the intent OF using Ii as tempo
rary base for his movement toward the
Straits OF Formosa.
1t is settled as fact in the minds of
naval experts here that the Russian ad-
mirai has no idea OF awaiting Neboga-
toff's tardy arrival off the Upper Cochin
China coast before making his advance
on Vice Admiral Togo-if. indeed, he
truly aceompiishes a real advance.

division, but as excuse
