Tho obstructive tactics on the Con

preventing n vote on the reciprocitj

Launer to dissolve parliament.
The dissolution ended n bitter

issue will be paramount.

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.

to a renewal of tho declaration on the
part of Germany that British lntor

by tho foreign office In a statement,
its official deny that Kaiser Wilholra
at any time suggested tho calling of
