LONDON, Doc. 8.-Tho Nicaragua canal
roatcs only mild Interest In England. The
long cable dispatches dealing with tho
probable action of thu United States senate
say its deliberations aro read by the gen
ornl public with comparatively little n
tcreat. Tho report that tho IJr Utah gov
ernmcnt has In any way Itid cated I j
willingness to accept tho amended treaty l
utterly false. In fact, the Indication.., audi
""they are. point to Great Urllaln refu,
lng U. consider any amendment ns to what,
the foreign ofllco already Relieves to bo a
enorous concession.
To quoto a high authority: "Wo would
not have abrogated tho Claytnn-llulwcr
treaty for any other nation In tho world.
Unless all thu traditions of IlrltlsJi foreign
policy nro reversed I fall to see how wo
can afford to give away any moro advan

No official representation or Inquiries
hnvo yet been mado to tho foreign office,
whoro it Is pointed out that It Is Impos
sible to form nny final Judgment until tho
enato acts. That war or oven a serious
misunderstanding could ever result from
uch n cause carries no public or omcini
credence.
Ilrltlnli 1-Mcct nt I.Ubon.
Though tho troubto botwon Holland nnd
Tortugal can scarcely result in war, It Is
far moro Bcrlous and Interesting than gen
erally understood here. Oreat Urltaln Is
concerned In tho affair moro deeply than
appears on tho surface, for the Associated
PresB lenrns that It Is duo to a Ilrltlsh
nrntrst to Portugal that tho cxequntour of
Herr Pott, tho Dutch consul at Lourenzo
Marquez, was withdrawn, and tho visit of
tho powerful nrltlsh fleet to Portuguese
waters is something moro than a coinci
dence. Tho Lisbon press frankly declares
i, innded as a warning demonstra
tion to othor nations to keep their hands
,'oft Portugal.
Tho nrltlsh ofllclala oIbo do not hcsltato
to admit their government s reauiness 10
back up tho action which Portugal took at
Its request. Hence, Holland can do little
mnrn than gracefully make the best of a
tad Job, unless aha recolvos tho support
of somo of tho great powers, which Is n
very remoto contingency. Tho temporary
withdrawal of Tho Netherlands' minister at
i.Uhon nnd tho Portugal minister at Tho
Hague, though officially belittled, Is the
atquenco ot serious friction, tno ueiaiw 01
which were known to tho Ilrltlsh secretary
of stato for foreign affairs, tho marquis of
Lansdowuo, somo weeks ago.
Htroke of Acrelve Diplomacy
Tho unusual action of sending tho whole
Prltlsh channel squadron to Lisbon is re
rarded by those who have tnsldo Informa
tlon as being one of tho boldest and most
luccossful atrokea of nggresslvo diplomacy
In recent history. With Oreat Urltaln
showing suoh a strong hand the absent
n.inlstors nro likely to return to their posta
shortly, and tho Incident probnbly win
p-oduco an cffectlvo Illustration that an
alliance exists between Portugal and Oreat
Urltaln. It wns effected when the question
of landing South African troops nt Uclra,
Portuguese South Africa, came up and was
announced at the time In these dispatches.
In this connection It Is Interesting to noto
that tho French press regards tho wholu
nflalr as a fresh menaco to Franco nnd that
the Spanish pnperB interpret it similarly as
regards their own country.
diluent- Situation Complicated
Tho Chlneso problem Is so wrapped up
In contradictory dispatches and so com
plicated by tho multitude at notes and
amendments thereto that even tho keenest
diplomats frankly confess they scarcoly
know how tho situation stands. From ono
of those particularly interested in tho
Aincrlcun plans for China It la learned thai
tho negotiations going on at all tho capi
tals may bo summed up ns an effort to
get tho Chinese court to return to Pekln
At last tho powers seem to realize that nil
tho able notes thoy could havo formulated
aro not worth tho paper thoy aro written
on until tho powers nro In touch with tho
Chlneso court. Providing this Is accom
pllshed, which it Is now hoped will be tho
caBit, tho powers aro willing to mnko tho
question at reparation secondary to tho
establishment of a stable form of Chines
government. When this la dono the ques
tlon ot Indemnity will como up. Th
method of Its exaction has not been do
elded, though all ngreo that It cannot be
secured territorially.
Judging from tho negotiations botween
Mr. Choate, tho United States ambassador
and tho mnrquls of Lansdowne, Secretary
Hay's suggestion that tho powers confer
at "Urussels or somo other place," Is not
likely to meet with tho acceptance ot
Oreat Urltaln, Tho olbor Kuropcnu na
tions, fo far ub heard from, are Inclined to
glvo their representatives nt Pckln a
fairly free hand and dread the additional
complications which they believe a con
gress ot tho powers would cntnil. Other
t wlso Mr. Hay's latest propositions rcceUe
on the wholo general approval and
promise to form tho basis for au ovontuat
settlement. Wlillo tho activity of tho ne
gotiations Is not llkoly to lag within tho next
few weeks, it is tbo belief of thOHo best
Informed that thoy will not or rather can
not result In anything definite until the
ministers aro positively in touch with tho
Chlneso court. Thcro Is no nitemot here
to conceal tho fact that In tho efforts to
achlovo this Important concessions from
the original attitude of tho powers' conces
sions havo been madn to China.

(Copyright, ltA, by Pre33 Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Dec. 8. (New Yoik World Ca-
lt-gram Special Telegram.) Tho special
Information by cable during tho last month
regarding the extreme gravity of the situa
tion In South Africa was fully corroborated
Inst night by Mr. Chamberlain's admissions
n tho House of Commons and his sudden
liunge of policy.
A dispatch of November 24 announced
Hut n famine throughout tho Transvaal
nd tho Orango Froe Stato was Inevitable,
hat was tho Hrst public Intimation of nny
such a calamity. Tha Houso ot Commons
was amazed and appalled Inst night when
Mr, Chamberlain said: "I am prepared to
admit that vu aro faco to face with n pos-
lblllty of something llko rf famine In con
equtneo of tho destruction caused,"
The Information now Justifies tho fear
hat .Mr. Chamberlain's policy of concilia
tion has been adopted too Into. Tho evil
linn been done. It appears that the In
eradicable racial nnlmosltlcs havo been
moused to such n pitch that they cannot
e overcomo except through tho supremncy
of tho suppressed Dutch majority which
England will not listen to.
Mr. Chamberlain doe3 not fully bellevo
u ouch professions of conciliation as ho
makes. Ills rcllanco Is on thu separating
of tho Orange Freo Stato from the Trans
vanlers by offering better terms to the
former. Uut racial unity Is a sacred pas
sion with thu Dutch and no wedge can bo
ntroduccd.
Tho present violent eruption oftDutcll
feeling In Capo Colony also was foretold
by American press advices, when tho Hrlt-
sh press was representing that tho crisis
was past nnd that nn era ot pacification
had arrived.
Lord Kitchener, not content with a rigor
ous censorship, has expelled from the so-
called new colonics tho Transvaal and tho
Ft co State all newspaper correspondents
except Router's.
Every week tho war drags on makes
tho prospect worse. Even If England could

nnd tho financial responsibilities Involved,

TEMPERANCE MOVE IN LONDON
Trn Formlnc to Control Saloon

Utility Purpose.
(Copyright, 1000, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Doc. 8. (Now York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Kudyard Kip
ling has come out ns a strong advocato of
temperance. Writing on the subject ho
says: "So far as I could soo In South Africa
It did not matter what sort of spirits a man
fanclod, becauso thcro waa not tho least
danger of his getting moro than was good
for him. On tho other hand, men who could
do without liquor, who did not fancy they
needed to flood their lnsldcs every two or
three hours, got on better than tbo men who,
through ruerd physical Incontinence and
carelessness, were constantly sucking their
water bottles.
"In this, as in all things, the man who la
temperate In tho full senso ot the word sur
vives." A novel saloon trust scheme Is being
stnrtcd here by temperanco reformers,
headed by Earl Grey. Under it every new
llconso granted by tho authorities will be
acquired. Tho profits from tho saloons be
yond 4 per cent will be applied to objects
of public utility.
Tho London county council had to pur
chase sixty saloon licenses In buying prop
erty to cut a now thoroughfare from Hol
born to tho Strand, and tho saloon trust
proposes to acquire theso to begin with.
Lord Itoborts' testimony to the vnluo of
temperance has caused tho foundation of the
"nobs leaguo," a new temperanco organiza
tion which Is to bo Inaugurated by enter

It Is stated hero that tho Vlckers-Maxlm

which is another way of admitting that
Englnnd's supremacy In shipbuilding Is

tho Vlckers-Mnxlm pfcoplo really fear Is
that America 1b going to havo tho greatest
