WELL" said Mr.. Mccall, "the steel

take two years to equip the elevated

But what do you think Of the

 NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The recent developments of the international sit uation are causing great disquietude throughout the east and the leading papers through the eastern states are plainly apprehensive as to tho final
 outcome of the disputes with Ger
 many and Britain. The refusal of the
 British government to accept even the
 least of the American contentious re- specting the restrictions to neutral
 commerce occasioned by the order in
 council is declared by several of the
 leading dailies to be nothing short of serious as the American government cannot recede from the position 1t has taken without loss of prestige. The possibility of a complete refusal of Germany to answer the last American note of reply in regard to the subma- rine war is generally looked upon as containing a most alarming element of danger. Editorial comment in many of the leading papers plainly hints that America is nearer to conflict than at any time since the conclusion of the Standardization war. Reports from the national capital indicate that the administration officials are much pre- utrbed at the present state of affairs.

Villa was much incensed at the action of the merchants, who had gathered to protest against the action of the rebel chief in confiscating the property of several of their number besides sub jecting them to innumerable indigni- ties. It is reported that the only req soi. given for the seizure and confisca- tion of the goods of the merchants was contained in the laconic statement that it was for the good of the state.
 The reports are generally regarded as being an indication that the former constitutionalist chief realizes that he is very near the end of his rope and would willingly provoke the United States to interfere in order to save himself from the vengeance of Carran- 20 who is rapidly accommodating a greater power throughout the republic.
