Powers have reason TO be uneasy about

DUTCH MINISTERS
In WAR COUNCIL
Parliament Called and

London, April 1.-An extraordinary
council of the Dutch ministers Of state
was held to-day at The Hague, accord

The Hague.
Private dispatches received in Co.
penhagen from Rotterdam and wireless
, messages from German sources say
that considerable uneasiness prevails
in Holland and that the Dutch military
and naval authorities are taking vari-
Gus precautions.
All leaves for naval and military Of
ficers have been cancelled. Railway
cars which were placed at the disposal
Of the military authorities on the out
break of the war and subsequently
were released temporarily have been
requisitioned. There have been sig
nificant meetings Of those in high
command in the army and navy. One
report says both houses Of Parliament
have been summoned.
A Reuter- dispatch from The Hague
this afternoon, however, says 1t Is au-
thoritatively stated that the reports re-
garding the withdrawal of all furloughs
and the requistion:ng OF all freight
trains by the Dutch authorities are alb
solutely untrue.
The widespread anxiety which has
suddenly arisen respecting the aoility
of Holland to long keep out OF the war
ia not due to the feeling aroused by
the sinking of the Dutch steamer Iu-
bantia. according to the "Nieuwe Cour-
ant" of The Hague.

To-day 100000 persons, old and
young. between the Atlantic and the

Since the last general report of two
weeks ago voluntary contributions
have poured into the Offices OF the

the vast majority Of the donors have

Troops Trail Carriage
Thought To Be Villas

Camp Of Commanding General at the
Front, April ] (by aeroplane to field
headquarters and By wireless TO CO.
lumbus, y. M).-Hopes OF the Ameri-
can cavalrymen under Colonel George
A. Dodd of finding Francisco villa
among the snow-clsd slopes Of the con-
tinental divide are based on the dis
covery to-day Of the track of carriage
wheels in a mountainous waste near
here.
These, it is believed, may have been
made By the vehicle which carried
away the injured leader. Ever since
they defeated the Villa commander at
the San Geronimo ranch, with heavy
losses, last Wednesday, the American
cavalrymen have searched cesselessly
for the bandit leader, but up to a late
hour to-day no definite information
concerning his whereabouts had
reached this camp.
Villa has disappeared in = way
which, considering the relentlessness
Of the American pursuit. seems mys-
terious. The American troops have
not encountered any natives who VIII
even admit they have seen Villa.
Every gorge, canyon, trail and water
ing place in the mountainous passes
in this vicinity is being watched BY
American air scouts or searched BY
csvalrymen. in the hope Of discovering
the bandits hiding place. The svi-
ators also are keeping the column IN
formed as 20 the movements OF the
scattered remnants OF the band. Hope
is expressed that one Of these. at least:
may attempt to rejoin their chief, and
thus lead the American forces TO him.

Villa and his bandits killed seven for

land ranch near Minaca with number
Of horses a few days before the mur'

him since.

Until Republican Conven-
ton Selects Nominee.
From The Tribune Bur.au.l

Washington, April i.-Assurance of
union and victory, and a better feeling
than has been seen in Republican
ranks for yea s. were drawn by men
of all factions here to-day from the
meeting in New York yesterday OF
Colonel L ,Jsevelt. Elihu Root and Sem
ator Lodge. Il was learned tonight.
thu. nothing in any way definite was
done at .he conference, but the fact
Of the friendly meeting Of these par
ticular men was taken as foreshadow-
ing an adjustment of all differences
and d vigorouss campaign on a solid
front.
The conference, The Tribune learned
from one of the men closest to those
! who took part, did rot even discuss
Presidential candidates. Preparedness,
which was the excuse for bringing the
men together, was discussed exhaus'
lively. and with reference 10 the cam
paign. The Wilson Administration was
also discussed at length, as were the
weaknesses it has developed and the
points most open for attack. There
the discussion stopped.
But those who arranged the meeting,
and practically every Republican here,
are confident that il has started some
thing" They expect more conferences
and from the reports that have leaked
out of the trend of the talk they are
confident that an agreement can be
reached. at least on issues, and prob
ably on the candidate.
To Head OF Roosevelt Boom.
In fact, the men who for months
have been working at the top of their
strength to head off the growing Roose-
Welt boom seized the opportunity to
make a little hay. They passed the
word that Roosevelt had agreed to sup
port Hughes, and the smaller fry OF
the old line camp were in the seventh
heaven. Even the Roosevelt supporters
were iolted. till word came from New
York that those close TO the Colonel
denied the report.
Presidential candidates were posi-
lively not discussed at the luncheon, ac-
cording to The Tribune's informant.
After having had ample opportunity to
become informed as to what transpired,
this man declared to-day that while the
Administration Of President Wilson
was discussed with much picturesque
language, there was no discussion of
who will be Mr. Wilson's opponent next
fall.
This would have been embarrassing,
as a matter of fact, because of the pres
ence Of both Roosevelt and Root" he
said. "Tbe primary object Of the lunch
con was TO get those two together on
some excuse, and the excuse was pre-
paredness.
"The conversation later drifted to
various acts Of the Wilson Administra-
trn and on this point might have been
regarded as political-certainly II was
not 1attering 20 the Chief Executive.
But there was no mention of VINO would
be the Republican nominee, who would
be supported By Roosevelt. or whether
Roosevelt himself would be candidate.

sccptor was then dashed down. 1t was
left for House leader to come forth
from the ways and means chairman
ship. But there a man has failed
signally and if another could have
stood forth promptly and energetically
on the Speakers rostrum, the House
would have welcomed him most in
tensely. He would have been within a
month a Speaker in the category with
a few famous predecessors. He would
have been as big in historic per-
spective as Thomas B. Reed. Indeed,
there has been no such large oppor-
tunity since Reeds time and that was
quarter of a century ago.
The leadership of Congress is out
side of Congress-in the White House.
It properly belongs there with such a
Congress as the present one. And the
lack of Congressional leadership, which
in a good governmental organization
should, perhaps, be largely sublead-
ership, will in this juncture probably
emphasize the fearless leadership OF
the President. Beset by Bryan, beset
BY -Germans-which are the
Identical forces many Democratic
Congressman has to face in his own
district-the President has proceeded
straight ahead without shadow of
turning, just what a goodly number of
Democratic congressman have not
done
