FIRE FIGHTERS SENT TO SAN BERNARDINO BLAZE FUTURE COURS E Kaiser Holds Lcng Conference With His Ministers Regardinrj the Pres ent Status of the Moroccan Trou ble Announcement Soon. f REPORTED GERMANY STANDS ON UNRECEDE0 GROUNDS German Office Expected to Break Si lence Within the Next Few Days May Mean Peace or War. SWINEMUND, Germany, July 29." -Tho pivotal point In tho Moroccan situation shifted this afternoon to this port with tho arrival here of tho kai ser, who held a long conference with his ministers. It Is believed that tho conference will bo followed In a few days by tho German foreign office breaking Its silence for the first tlmo since the crisis arose and Germany's demand and position be mado known. ' No official statement was mado to nlfht, but It is believed that Ger many stands on the same unreceded grounds. Germany Must Iteccde. Unless Germany recedes from hor demand for territory concessions In Morocco, tho negotiations between France and Germany will cnd'ab- rnptly and, it they do, the declara tions of war are expected to fol low within a very few hoars. In semi-official quarters here to-, day It Is Intimated, though no con firmation Is yet available, that Trance and England plan to at onco send warships to Agadlr of equal tonnage with tho German cruiser Berlin and gunboat Panther, which are now at that port. It is conceded that such an act would greatly complicate the already delicate situation, if It were not, In fact, Immediately regarded as a hostile act, to which Germany could only reply by a declaration of war. In London today the financial sit uation is unchanged. The stock mar ket was weak and securities on the exchange were under hresauro, but owing to tho mid-summer lethargy, trading was at such a low ebb that the drop in prices did not greatly af fect the total sales. Lloyds contin ues to demand a 1 per cent premium on war risks and many policies aro being written at that figure. Only a Spark Needed. LONDON, July 29. That affaire with regard to tho Moroccan situation have reached a point whero a slight spark may touch oft nn explosion of world-wide consequences Is indicated today by the decision of Franco and England to sond to Agadlr warships of equal strength to the Panther and Rorlln, unless Gormauy orders tho Immediate withdrawal of theso vea- sela from Moroccan waters. Thla step, which would havo been an effectual counter raovo to Ger many's actions had It been taken be fore tho controversy reached Ra pres ent stage, Is now regarded as fraught with tho greatest dangor to tho peaco- ablo outcomo of tho diplomatic negotiations.
