THE WAR CLOUD IN EUROPE. ee british Cabinet Explanation of the Inception | of the Crisis and Its Present Avoidance. The Franco-German Causes of Dispute Likely to Recur. Russian Conservatism in Aid of England's Policy of Non-Intervention. Lonpow, May 31, 1875, {p the House of Lords this eveuing Earl Russell | Qskead that the correspondence between Great | Britain and the Continental Powers arising out of the recent war clarm be laid beiore the house, THE CABINET REPLY. Tne Earl of Derby, Minister of State for the For. eign Depariment, replied that he sympathized with the curiosity of tnose who had watched the tourse of foreign affairs during the last few weeks. The government desired to conceal nothing tt had done, but it would be impossible to give a fair ac- rount without largely using confidential commu- Bicatious relating to the policy and opinions of other governments, who would object to such disclosure. ‘The publication of these communications would prevent English Biplomatists irom receiving information in the forure, and to submit a mutilated correspondence might mislead the House. The causes of dispute were liable to recur; therefore 1% was not desira- Die in the interests of peace to give publicity to the details of the controversy, Lord Derby then proceeded to stare that per- sons highest in authority in Beriin of late openly declared that the French army bad become a gource of danger to Germany, because its magnl- tude showed a determination on the part of France to renew the war; that Germany, in selt- feience, might feel impelled to strike the frst plow to secure peace, and that it was necessary that the French army should be constderabily re- duced, ‘This language, repeated by German representa- ives bere and elsewhere, created extreme un- paginess in France. . The French government immediately disclaimea ali warlike intentions. Lord Derby satd he ac- cepted this declaration as entirely sincere, He believed no statesman in France contemplated a renewal of whe war. France, after her humilia- tions, naturally desired to have an army which would give herthe influence to which she con- Hdered herself entitled. One of the diticulties was that the French were unabie to conceive tnat German appretensions were genuine, They re- parded the representations made by Germany as 8 pretext for a fresh war. It seemed to Her Majesty's government that there was a mutual misonderstanding which might lead to grave consequences, for Germany’s next step might have beem @ formal request for France to discontinue her armament, while France, on the other band, would probably ac- celerate It, and thereby confirm the suspicions of Germany. The existence of this mutual distrust afforded a good opportunity to offer the friendly offices of England. RUSSIA SUPPORTS TEE QUEEN. The Russian government saw things in the same ght, ana the vistt of the Emperor Alexander to Berlin supplied tae means of supporting Eng- ‘and’s representations, FATIONAL DULY WITHOUT SACRIFICE OR ISOLATION, Lord Derby concluded by declaring that Bag. Jand bad done her duly without sacrifices, past. present or prospective. Ste had entered into no engagements and made no pledges; but her policy of non-intervention oid not mean isolation or in- Gifference to the peace of Europe.

OPINIONS OF THE FRIENDS OF THE PRESIDENT— HIS RENOMINATION THOUGHT TO BE SE- CURED—RIVAL ASPIRANTS DEMORALIZED. WASHINGTON, May 31, 1875, The third term friends of the President here, chief among whom is Boss Shephera, are ex- tremely jubilant over the letter on that subject which appeared this morning. It seems that the President wrote the letter aud gave it out for puducation without consultation with any member of his Cabinet. He stated tnis morpivg that he had ior sume time been await ing an opportunity to say what he bas said about the third term, but none had rresented irself until tne action of the Pennaylvanta Republican | | Convention, The letter is intended as @ rebuke to that Convention, and Grant’s friends think it makes bim even with tue auti-third term party in | Pennsylvania, They also claim that it will make him strong before the people and eventually si cure him the nomination by the National Repubdll- can Convention for a third term. Boss Shepherd says Grant is eure to be the nomi- Mee of the party; thas he will start. with the nd that he wit get enough States North and West without Pennsylvania to give him a majority in the Couvention. It seems to be generally understood by Grant’s friends | | that he will accept a nomination if it is offered, | were and his letter joreshadows this. ‘The impression ts that this letter will go far | toward cemoralizing Hlaine, Bristow, Morton, Conkling and all the rival aspirants for the repub- | cam nomination.

A tenement house on fire at the close of the second act was go realistic as to cause the audience to ae- mand tt again and again. The scene was solidly and Well cousiructed, and the presence ol bose, fre- | Wen, flames, ladders, crowds of excited peuple Tusaing tu all directions, while others were escap- ing down the ladders from the Hames, save those assembied a picture of a terrible disaster that 1s | rarely witnessed by collected peo, There was | besides tnis a raiiroad scene, a snow scene and & view in Harlem thar were not oaly well painted aod true to the locatl- | tles they sought to depict, but evidently | Interesting to the audience. lucidental to the | Play Were feats of bell-ringing, swinging guns, Hegro songs and Irish Ktupidities, tat were well done, though not eniertainiog, and plaiuly not suited to the character oi che house in which they given, The figewoving ece | at opening of tue second ket, Messrs, Harrigan and Hart, was one of the embellishments that should be promptly eliminaied irom the perlormance and replaced | by sometuing if nor more trucasul at least more | humorous and enjoyable.

The first appearance of Emerson's celebratea lifornts Minstrels at this house brought together @ crowded audience, and it is pleasing to record that tbs public who visited the “Park” last night were furnisned with a | reul Jaugater-provoking entertainment. The | artista composing the troupe were re- | mMarkably clever in their several spegiaities, and | give proof ot a keen sense of the ridiculous; they | have also the correct ideas of burlesque. It | Would be very dificult, if not impossible, to sit out the entertamment supplied by these mupstreis with a serivus face.

CENTRAL PARK GARDEN. Mr, Thomas still continues to attract large houses to Central Park Garden, his orchestra having lost nothing of that magnetic power that bas placed it the firss in America, Tne pro- gtamme last evening consisted of the following selections:—Overture, “Nourmanal,” Spontint; scherzo, “Reformation” symphony, Menaelssonn; | polka mazurka, “Ein Herz und Ein Sinn,” and | polka sonnell, “Unter Donner und Biitz,”” Strauss; selections first act “Lohengrin,” Wag- ner; overture, ‘Triomphatle,” Rubinstein; {imprompta in’ © minor, op. 90.

Keler entr ‘act “Merchant of Venice.” Mubidorfer; overture, “Mary Wives of Windsor,” Nicolal. As may be seen, there was variety enough of scioo!s and stvies of music to interes! any ons. The fantas- ' tie measures of Liszt ana Ruoistein conrasted with the lovety lithe scnerzo of Mendelssonn and Spontini’s hearty old purases, and from Wagner to Strauss there was quite a wile margin jor tne | Musical mind to wander and reflect.

There is not the slightest abatement in the | gerness of the public to visit the fairy scene | | into which Gtim»re has transformed the Hippo- drome, The beautiful garden was crowded again | last night, and the band played with more ¢ian | and spirit than ever the overture to “William | Tell,” extracts irom “Lohengrin,” Beethoven's rometheus” overture and a iew light selections, encores betog frequent and persistent. During the preseut week tne garden will be sccom- modated with a larze nuinber of additional seats, so that promenaders can rest themselves without being obliged to leave the immediate vicinity of the musie stand.
