Kruger Full of Religion. ,
The London correspondent of the
World says that he learns on trust-
worthy authority that the appeal
sent last Saturday to England by
President Kruger was remarkable
in both manner and matter. The
language of the document fairly
pulsates with religious fervor and
the appeal for peace is made in ‘sol-
enn phrases, such as ‘in the name
of the triune God.” ‘It is .not im-

ing in England, and especially as
regards ourselves, any step taken
by the French government would
defeat its own object and, instead of
opening a way to honorable peace,
would act as oil on the flames and
probably only create fresh compli-

“(We consider that overtures for
mediation:can emanate from: some
power whose cordial relations with
England prevent such a suggestion
being construed as an unfriendly
act. The emperor of Germany, for
instance, might take the initiative,
or President McKinley, without fear
of creating friction which stands in-
the way of any action on our part,
and after this is done, full reliance
can be placed on the unqualified
support of France and Russia, whose

bloodshed, and who are eager to
lend their good offices in bringing
; about this end.”

A special from Washington reads:

“The German ambassador, Dr.
von “Holleben, had a long confer-
b acting Secretary of State
which the latter was. pre~
info dthat a d
tion in. China might be expected
from Russia shortly. The chief. of
the bureau of navigation, Rear Ad-
miral Crowninshield, sought. Sec-
retary of State Hay, and found him
atthe ‘Hay residence, after . which,
the ..nayy. department announced,
that a- Chinese’ squadron“ Would’ be
established. and’. Rear Admiral
Kempff, now commandant at. the
Mare Island navy -yard, would be
sent to Manila to take the squadron
Chinese and
Japanese coasts; also that Rear
Admiral. Remy, in charge of the
Asiatic Squadron, would maintain a
naval.base at Manila.”

It is believed here that the for-
mation of the Chinese squadron by
the United States is to be a warn-
ing to Russia and France that
American interests are involved in
any change in the conditions in
Ching. -Presumably Germany will
make a similar demonstration.
