11 Extreme Diplomatic Tension Bel
tween Great Powers?Englands
Warlike Activety
i London, Aug tJ.?That extreme
diplomatic tension exists between
i St Petersburg and London is
i j generally admitted today, though
f I the officials deprecate the alarmist
r | reports which were current yesm
terday. It is hoped that the firm|
er stand adopted by the Marquis
?i of Salisbury during the last few
> j days, which seemed to have al
I ready created some misgiving at
, ! St Petersburg, will have the do1
sired effect of arresting h ..o.an
1 aggressiveness, It is felt both
i here and on the continent that the
outcome of the dispute in regard
to the new Chwang railroad ex
tension, is the crucial point of the
success or failure of Great Hriy
tian's policy of the "open door."
As evidence of the fact that
Great Hritain appreciates the
0 ; gravity of the situation, the Associated
Press learns that tho
^ admiralty is preparing for all
emergencies; that it will soon bo
' ( ready to mobilise tho entire fleet
: at the shortest notice. Kvery
? I officer and mar. on fnrlrmM.
, ri" "?
j half pay has been assigned to a
j ship and instructed to bo in leadi s
j ness to join at the earliest uio^
I ment. Therefore, practically
11 every ship in the British navy,
' ! whether in or out of commission
i at the present moment, has it's
0 i full compliment of oiticers and
men ready to take her out to sea
' when the time arrives.
B According to Paris advices,
f I Admiral Bedolliere, commanding
' the French China squadron, has
cabled a demand for reinforce0
ments anil for a large credit to bo
11 applied in erecting fortifications.
* The reason given for these ile0
(mands is that the natives of
c j Kwang Chou Wang region aro
^ j showing signs of hostiltty. But
' ! there is some suspicion hero that
?!the action of the French admiral
s' may l?o connected with a desire to
back up Russian designs.
