THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY JUNE 20, 1897. UBILEE THRONGS GATHERING Never Before Did Gay London Contain Such a Crowd. MIGHTY IS THE POPULAR INVASION. Decorations for Tuesday’s Big Parade Put Up Rather Too Soon. STARTLING EFFECTS OF THE GALA ATTIRE. No Less Than Seven Thousand Persons Have Applied for Spe- cial Jubilee Honors. [Copyrighted, 1897, by the New York Sun.] LONDON, Exa., june 16 is now in complete possession of London and allits innabitants. Those for whom the whole subject has become a night- mare have taken flight, and the millions who remain are in full sympathy with the —The Jubilee great occasion. The influx of visitors from the provinces and abroad now amounts to a mich'y invasion. London was never so crowded before. Thesenum- bars will be vastly augzmented Tuesday, and it is most appalling to contemplate the situation on Jubilee day, which wiil present the greatestazgregation of human bein s within the smallest area the sun ever looked down npon.

Hizh Venetian masts have been placed mlong the curbs, with heavy festoons of ariificial leaves, flowers being strevn between. Yesterday's heavy showers have alrea dilapiaated these adornments. The average stranger hardly knows in what spirit to regang London’s attempt at fete-making. G. W. Stevens, for instance, finds it both ridiculous and sublime. Max Bzerbohm votes it an aw- ful bore. Stevens writes to the Mail that “London is a grea: big buby. 1's mother, the Queen, has g:ven it & new toy which itcalls a diamond jubilee. London is a strange child, and hLas pulled out all its little wooden boxes and bricks and pilel them up all over the fronts of the houses. London is settiing down ta plav, bat all through the game she never forgets her love and reve:ence for the mother who 1n- spiresit.” The Queen continues in good general health, but greatly dreads the next week’s series of ordeals. She drove th's aiter noon from Windsor Cast.e to F.ogmore for tea. Her Indian her to her carriage and two Iadies-in-wait- ing helped her 1o enter. She was beavily veled and noticed nothing sbout her. Ehe did not acknowledge the salutations of passer:by. It is probable ti.e natonal merry-waking will ot be marred by the vublication of the melancholy news of the Queen’s biindness. It isa hign tritute 10 he good taste and considerateness of Lon- | don journalism that refrains from chang- ing popular joy into sadness, for ihe facts regarding the Queen’s impaired sight and probable abdication sre now known in most i not all of the newspaper offices. “The truth 15 also widesyresd in the clubs and well-informed circles, but the knowl- edge of it has not yet reached the masses. e FIRST ACT OF 1HE DRAMA, 4 Proession of Mounted Troops Cause Great Enthusiasm in London. LONDO G, June 19.—This after- noon witnessed the first act of the jubilee drama, A procession of mounted troops passed through the heart of the poorest eastern district of London from Victoria Purk through Mile End road and White- chbapel and round to the Mansion Hou: The troopers and fands made a brave show, and thers was the greatest enthus- 1asm among the onookers. Even in the poorest places the peopls had done the utmost to decorate.

Mo Less Than 2500 Modestly Put in Claime jor Knighthood. LONDO! Exg., June 19 —Salisbury went to Windsor Friday and nad an audi- ence with the Que-n. There is no doubt that he brouzh: back a list of coveted honors, which wiil be published Tuesday. The inirigues of men who consider them- selves worthy of dipping in the fount of honor have been something phenomenal. Every yvear on the Queen’s birt:day there is plenty of this sort of thing, but this jubilee scramble is something altogether out of the common. According to one published statement no fewer than 7000 yersons themselves, or through political iriends, have app fed for jubilee honors. Of these 2500 modestly put in claims for kn ghthood. Itis doubtful if the li<t of knights will number a Lundred, Rich nonentisties who have béen giving large sums to the Tory party funds will get the best of things, Bir Biundell Mavle, for instance, the millionaire furniture-maker and dea'er, will probably get the peerage, for which be hos been siaving for years past.

CONSTANTINOPLE; Turkey, June 19. | The negotiations bstween revresentatives of the powers and the Porte for the estab- lishment of peace are being brought to a satisfactory conclusion. All the vpoints involved have been setiled, except the | ruethod of guaranteeing the indemnity to be naid by Greece, wh.ch has been fixed at £6,000,000. It is regarled as probable, however, that a commitiee composed of influential Greek residenis of foreign counuries will be appointed to control the finances of Greece and the security for the payment of the indemnity. This point once settled the final treaty of peace will be signed and the Turks will withdraw from Thessaly, LONDON, Exc., june 19,—A dispatch to-day from Consiantinople regarding the terms of peace, based upon Turkish offi- cisl authority, says it will be safer to await the event itsell before assuming that the Turkish army will really evacnate Thes- | saly in the near future. It may be true that Engiand’s display of grit and deter- mination has caused the Sultan and his | foreign supporters to abandon the plan of retaining Greece's richest provinee un- der Ottorman ruale, but there is still good reason to regard the Turk with suspicion. s ¥l FOREIGNERS AGAIN IN DANGER.

BRITISH GREED 15 NOW ARQUSED Surprised That Hawaii Should Drift From England. Some of Victoria’s Subjacts Not at All Pleased With the Treaty. And It Is Rumored That Salisbury Has Advised the Queen to Protest. LONDON, ExG., June 19.—It is rumored in political clubs that Salisbury has ad- vised tle Queen to pro'est against the annexation of Hawaii, put this is ex- tremely improbable. The general feeling 13 still one of surprise that any country besides England should enzage in land- grabbing, and the resentment against the Government is general and intense because Hawaii, which the good Lord clear intended to be English, should be allowed to drift into American bands. The fact is recalied at this jubilee time that the Queen of Hawaii walked in the jubilee procession at Westminster Abbey in 1887 with Victoria, wearing a little crown on her head. The Tories make no secret of their belief that Salisbury and Pauncefote bave been jockeyed in this matter. “We now see,” says the Birming*am Ga- zette, “'the aim and object of all the plot- ting that hasgone on three or four years. This intrigue is not mach to the credit of Amecrica. It would have saved infinite trouble if the President bad stated in a manly, straighforward manner what he | wanted at tirst.”? The provincial newspapers generally have taken the same line of comment. It seemed at first as though an organizs i ef- fort woudd be made to arouse the passions of the country, but word has evidently gone forth from headquarters to leave this prickly question alone. It may be predicted with the urmost confidence that if the American peop care 1o sanction the snnexation of Hawaii, neither England nor any other European power will venture to interfere, ol i ANGEK OF JAPAN, There Ie @ Froap i of Some Trouble Orer the Anwnrxation Treaty. WASHINGTON, D. C.. June 19.—The talk here to-day in the Hawaiian matter is that Japan will withdraw the coumer- cial privileges she has extended Ameri- | cans. Another reason for the indignant state in wuich the Japanese Minister finds him- self is the statement of Sherman to the ress that Le had come to favor the treaty *‘on account of the clsim of Japan to the ixland.” Tue Minister saia that the statement is untrue, and he regardsit asa stuaied affront to Japan. Japan’s Minister has received no infor- mation for several days as to the progress of the ne;otiations respecting the in- demnity demanded of Hawaii in the im- migration matter, but it is generally be- lieved that the matter is temporarily held up pending furtuer developments in the United Siates. The fact that the British Foreign Office was well informed iu advance regarding annexation prceceedings, and they were not altogether unknown 1o the French and Spanish Governments, does not conduce to the betier feeling of Japan. While the Japanese representa- tives here express only the most friendly sentiments toward the United States, t o lack of candor on the jart of Hawaiiis unreservedly denounced, and it can be | confidently stated that ihe diplomatic re- lations between the two Governments are decidedly strained. The attitude of Japan is declared to be fixed and firm. On the plea of violation of treaty rights during the last few monthsand insult offered by the inde- pendent action of Hawaii, she wiil rest | ver grievances. NEW YORK, N.

For several weeks it has been estimated that at least 1000 persons died every da. from the effects of famine and disease due 10 the manner in which the pacificos haye Leen cooped up in the settler:ents and prevented from earning a living. As the summer progresses the death rate would increase naturally. The outoreak of yel- low fever will undoubtedly swell the | death list to terrible proportions. All throrgh Cuba there are thonsands of people suffering from famine and priva- tions of all kinds, and wholly unavle to resist even a light atiack of disease. “The town of Madrugs, near Matanzas, has suffered very severely. O 5000 neople living there iast Janusry over 1500 have since died. And what makes the situation even | more sericus is that even if immediate relief could be cxtended the death list would continue high, for it is calculated that nearly a hundred thousana people would die before succor could reach them., NEW YORK Y., June 19.—General Stewart L.
