The most extraordinary feature ot the are was that there waa note single circumstance' to' justify It . The , exolteraent started early In the day when newspapers announced the departure ol the Russian Initio squadron from Vigo. ' the pnblio wa not in possession of information cabled by the Associated I'ress to the United States that only the offloers concerned in the attack on the British trawlers would be detained and it jumped at the conoloslon that Russia bsd broxeh i "J" ' " aiming the vessels in ,n B""r' On the top of this came wild reports of tremendous activity at Gibraltar. Hour by honr tbe news from Gibraltar become more serious, Until at last the olimax was with the announcement that the, Brit lsh flet had cleared Its decks .or action When all London was In this state of mind, and while . anybody supposed to know anything was constantly ask ec", "Has war been declared?' the foreign office decided to adopt a course most unusual for It and in order to allay tbe pobllo exeitment gave out a statement.
