THE HAGUE, April 2.-The hold ing of a secret meeting by the cabi net yesterday Was the cause fer & report to spread about the city to the effect that this country is pre- pairing to enter the war. Another reason for tn" report is that all Tc- serves and soldiers on fuIlOu@h have been ordered home. The reason for such action is not known and all government officials intclrJsateC on the subject are very reticent in making remarks
 Such action on the part of this country would not be a great sur prise to many of her inhabitants The sympathy of the people gen orally is with the Germans, but owing to the great pressure being brought to bear by the allied gov ernments. it is difficult to conien- ture concerning just which side the government will take in the event that it is decided that Holland shall enter the war.
 IL is positively and authoritative lv stated, however. that the sinking of the Dutch steamship Tubantia by a German submarine is having nc effect whatever on the dellbera- tions of the cabinet Tn fact tH0@e who seem to be best posted on the subject seem to think that tho war like preparations of the country W merely protective. and that H2 9" will not take sides unless it iS seen that ii is impossible for her to keep out of the war Others who claim to be well informed as to the attitude cj he government say that the action of England in searching Dutch ves sels on the high seas was taken into consideration at the c1biNa+ meeting
