GREAT BRITAIN MEANS WAR, French Expedition to the Niger Regarded as an Un- friendly Act. SENSATION IN PARLIAMENT, The Ministerial Statement Is Re- garded as a Menace to France. AFRICAN POSSESSIONS AGAIN England and France Have Been on the Point of War Over Them Before. (@opyright, 1895, by the Press Publishing Company, New York World.) (Special Cable Dispatch to The World.) LONDON, March 28.—The ministerial Gtatement in the House of Commons to- might that the British Government re- @ards the despatch of a French expedi- tion to the Niger as an unfriendly act @reated a profound sensation, Especial significance attaches to the words of Sir Edward Grey, the Parlia- mentary Secretary of the Foreign Office, as he read them from a manuscript in the handwriting of the Earl of Kimber- ley, the Secretary of State for the For- eign Department. Lord Kimberley had submitted them to a suddenly summoned Cabinet meeting held earlier in the even- ing in Sir Willlam Harcourt's room at the House, Mr. Labouchere correctly interpreted the prevailing feeling of the members in describing the ministerial statement ‘as @ menace to France and a quasi @eclaration of war. It is felt that such a tone would not be adopted by the Government unless milder representa- tions to the French Foreign Office had failed of the desired effect. The World correspondent spoke to members of all parties in the lobby after Bir Edward Grey's speech and found it to be practically the consensus of opin- fon that, though this difficulty will prob- ably be adjusted, it must bring much Nearer the conflict with France which the most acute observers of foreign af- fairs now feel to be- inevitable. It was suggested by some that Lord Rosebery, the Prime Minister, relies on the influence of Russia being cast against France should she adopt an aggressive line, but others believe that the effect of the new balance of power in Europe would be that Russia and Germany would stand by while Great Britain and France tought an exaust- ing war, : (By Associated Press.) LONDON, March 2.—The statement which Sir Edward Grey, Parliamentary Secretary of the Foreign Office, made in the House of Commons last night, say- ing that an advance of the French into the territory of the Upper Nile Valley, belonging to the Royal Niger Company, and, therefore, under British protec- tion, would be »n unfriendly act, and that it was well known to France that Great Britain would so regard it, 48 causing a profound sensation here and on the Continent. Sie Edward's announcement, which was read from notes believed to have been written by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Earl of Kim- berley, is looked upon as revealing the extremely critical relations now exist- ing between France and Great Britain, The fact that the statement was pre- pared, in writing, before hand, empha- sizes the seriousness of the situation ‘and shows that every word embodies the views of the Cabinet. In brief, the statement Is that it 1s becoming daily more difficuit to live on good terms with France, that Great Britain has made concession after con- cession in the past two years, in the interest of peace, but that the end has now come, and that it 1s found neces- sury to warn France from the Minis- terial bench. ‘The most important and significant portion of Sir Edward Grey's statement was the following: “But, something besides our own efforts is necessary, and that 1s the co-operation of the French Government an the French people. The Royal Niger Company recently complained to the Government that two French pseudo exploring expeditions had invaded territory in the Upper Niger Valley that 1s under British protection, The French official press contends that there was no invasion, the expedition having been sent merely to ascertain boundaries, &c, An acrimonious dis- cussion of the matter ensued between the French and English pres: Mr. Henry Labouchere, the Radical leader, complained of Bir Edward Grey's menacing language, Which, ho sald, amounted almost to a quasi declaration of war against France. Mr, Chamberlain, the Liberal Union- ist leader, approved of the statements made by Sir Edward.

(Special to The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, March 29,—The trou- ble between France and Great Britain over the former's Niger expedition, is construed in Washington ax furnishing the United States an excellent oppor- tuntty to secure an advantageous dispo- sition of the various international ques- rhich are now puzzling and di the State Department. It merely needs a fixed determination on the part of France to push her ad- vantage in the Upper Niger country, to precipitate a conflict, The fact that a war between France and Great Britain 1s even a present possibility, wiil tend to make France desire to settle the Ameri- can cattle question quickly, and to lead Great Britain to dispose of the Nicara- Bua trouble without waste of time. As for the Venezuelan boundary mat- it can. eventually be settled one ¥, and that is in favor of Venezuela, whith has the best case. In regard to the disputed territory, Great Britain, it is learned, has advanced @ theory which, though not new in the history of her aggressions, will strike the public as possensing elements of nov- elty. Tord Kimberley has contended to Mr. | 1 that in’ the disputed territory ish subjects have invested Jarge amounts of capital, and are in fact the controlling element, and that they pre- fer the mild and benignant rule of Great | Britain to the turbulent and revolution- | ary government which Venezuela fur- | nishes. The contention 1s seriously atlvanced that the possession of the country. in question by Great Britain would lead to its more rapid development and more lasting prosperity. | ‘To the suggestion of Mr. Bayard that while such a position might be sound in ethics, ft was not good international law, Lord Kimberley is reported to have repiled that the hundreds of Brittsu sub- | jects who had gone Into the Territory in | recent years and developed under the | British flag, were going to be protected | In their rights. It seems certain, however, that Vene- mieja will be able to keep the question ‘open until Great Britain is forced by the trend of International affairs to con- sent to arbitration. NO ASSURANCES GIVEN. Britain Hasn't Promised to Keep Off Venesuelan Territory. LONDON, March 29.—No communica- tions have been exchanged recently be- tween Great Britain and Venezuela on the frontier question, Great Britain has given no assurances that there will be no further trespass- ing on Venezuelan territory, as stated in a New York despatch, Great Britain will recognize only the Schomberg lne as the frontier.
