A PREMATURE SCARE
England Not Alarmed by the
Siuation in China.
UNDERSTANDING WITH GERMANY
Bassla l Not Hxpectlng Immediate
Trouble Japan's Part In tho
Game.
London, Dec. 25. In well-informed
circles the general impression prevails
that the scare in newspapers and among
the public in regard to the far East is at
least premature. While the members
of the government ar reticent, they are
evidently sincere in disclaiming the least
alarm. The present feeling in minis
terial quarters is that ' Great Britain is
carefully watching events, biding her
time, and that she will not fail to act
promptly and vigorously at the proper
moment. It is believed in quarters well
posted on such matters that Germany
has an understanding with Great Brit
ain. This view is strongly supported by
Prince Henry's visit to Qtieen Victoria
at Osborne, by his subsequent trip' to
London, and by the autograph letter
which the prince is said to have taken
to her majesty from Emperor William,
etc., of which confirmation is forthcom
ing. The emperors letter to the queen
is regarded as being a distinctly concil
iatory step on the part of the German
government.
But there is no doubt that Great Brit
ain is quietly preparing for all events.
Should it become clear that Germany
and Russia have commenced a game of
grab, Gi eat Britain-will be prepared to
assert her claim for a division of the
spoils. At the Chinese embassy the
view prevails that there is no under
ing between the British and German
governments. ' -
The public ecare seems to have arisen
from the idea that the proceedings took
Great Britain by surprise. This is im
possible, for. since her intervention in
the Chinese-Japanese war, it has ' been
known that Germany has only been
awaiting a favorable opportunity to ob
tain a foothold in China, and at various
times it was reported that Lappa, Qne
moy and Amoy had been secured, while
a year ago German ships surveyed Kaio
Chou bay, all of which was known at
the British foreign office. The recep
tion of the German equadron at Ports
mouth and the facilities which the ships
were afforded and will be afforded at all
the British coaling depots on their way
to Hong Kong point to the sympathetic
support of Great Britain.
That Russia does not expect trouble is
shown by the fact that she has not one
battle-ship in the far East. But, of
course, if Russia does not leave Port
Arthur in the spring, her stay there may
lead to other grabbing. The British
government, however, is apparently not
borrowing trouble.
From a trading point of view, it is
pointed out that the opening of three
new foreign ports will probably be as
little harmful to Shanghai as Boston and
Philadelphia are to New York. Not a
few people regard ' the Times' editorial
expressing satisfaction at the Behnng
sea settlement, and protesting against
the "loose insinuations of bad faith on
the part of the United States govern
ment, which ' have been thoughtlessly
and unjuBtly made in England," and
Japan's withdrawal from the attitude
she bad assumed in connection with
Hawaii, as indications ' of an Anglo-
American- Japanese alliance.

Returns to Cuba as a Member or the
Cabinet.
Havana, Dec. 25. Senor Antonio Go
vina, secretary of the autonomist party,
who hat for nearly a year past resided
in the United States, nas cabled to? the
government bis acceptance of a post in
the colonial cabinet. ' In March last,
Senor Govina leftHavana to the United
States. On hia departure it was under
stood that he was starting only on a
short trip for bis health and relaxation.
Many friends went to the wharf and
boarded the steamer to see ' him off.
Once on board, Senor Govina surprised
his friends by pointing to Morro castle
flag and stating that he wonld not re
turn until the flag was changed. ' -"- ' '
'Up tonow," he said, "I have had
confidence and faith in the edifice of
Spanish nationality, but now it is crum
bling and falling down. I do not wish
to perish in the ruins ; hence I am going
away."
Senor Govina's remarks created a
great deal of excitement.
Beware of Ofnmenta for Catarrh that
Contain Mercury,
As mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and c mpletely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces." Such articles
should never be used except on prescrip
tions from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to" the
good you can possibly derive from them.

"This man," said the keeper of the
asylum, "is one of our most interesting
patients."
."What is his peculiarity?" asked one
of the visitors.
"He thinks he is -the historian Macau
lay. What are you working' at this
morning-, Mr. Walk I mean my lord ?" ;
"I am 'about half through my history
of America," replied the dig-nifled-lbok-ing-
personage seated at the little table.
"Will you show these gentlemen the
pag-es you have just written??, ...
"With pleasure."
"The manuscript he submitted with
a. courteous bow read as follows:
"At this time tha United States has
not a friend among1 the leading nations
of the earth. France, the old-time ally
of the republic, has been alienated by
an effusive display of American sym
pathy in behalf of the Germans during
the Franco-Prussian war. The sensa
tional manner in. which the horrors of
Russian prisons had been described in
American pictorial magazines, and the
popular indignation awakened by the
recital, had effectually cooled, the
friendly ardor of the Muscovite gov
ernment. The hostility of Germany
had been aroused by trade misunder
standings and jealousies. An arbitra
tion, treaty with .England had failed by
reason of the hostility of the United
States senate. Italy, still cherished a
feeling of resentment on account of the
troubles and-' humiliations growing out
of a massacre of Italians in New Orleans
a decade before. Canada, on thenorth,
was distinctly unfriendly, and Mexico,
on the south, while outwardly amicable,
had never forgotten Cherubusco, Buena,
,Vista and Eeseca de la Pal ma. The
struggle that -was beginning between
the American union and Japan for the
possession of the Hawaiian islands had
estranged the rising power of the ori
ent. With its foreign relations in this
unsatisfactory condition, with a eea
coast almost wholly unfortified, with
internal dissension of its own, with
hardly a battle ship that would keep
afloat in a storm, ana with an annual ex
penditure for pensions that would have
sufficed to maintain a very large stand
ing army, the United States leaped joy
ously into war with several foreign
powers at 'once, as. will be described in
the'succeeding pages." '"
