The French Govern- ment has ever since the disorders in Mexico began been embarrassed by the difficulty of protecting adequately French interests in Mexico and con- aldera that the phase now beginning must end in constitutional order and Peace. LONDON, April 21,—Gonsiderable comment is to-day again devoted to the Mexican situation by the British newspapers. ‘The Manchester Guardian, the most influential organ of the English peace , @ays that war, sbould it come, id be purely ridiculous if the stakes were not human lives and na- tional reputations, If both sides aro itching to be at each other’s throats, the newspaper continues, it would be Glscreditable to them both to have no better eccasion for beginning. The originating cause of the dispute ts undoubtedly the extension of the Monroe Doctrine which, from being a mere notice board to Hurope against political trespassing in the New World, has become a sort of gazetting of the United Btates as the political school-mistress of Central and South America. ‘The Guardian thinks President Wil- gon was wrong in refusing to recog- nise Gen.

BOSTON, April 21.—With the three battleships Virginia, Nebraska and Georgia having changed thelr war preparations from “haste” to “emerg- ency,” the navy yard bristled with excitement to-day. Surrounded with colliers all night under the glare of a searchlight, the veasels this forenoon began taking on the storage of arma to obey orders to sail for Tampico Friday.
