Stories of this kind liaveapared frequently during the past year and this ptrticuiar story was this evening even-ing officially denied by Sir Julian Pauncefote. lie said: '"I have made no communication of thu kind to Mr. Blaine. There is no doubt our vessels In the North l'acitic ocean are there to protect the British flag over the scalers, but I have not broken otr negotiations, and there is no reason to expect a disturbance of the friendly relations exfstlng between the two governments. Mr. Blaine has left for Bar Haibor for the Ivnefit of his health, and I am aliout to go to Manchester, and shall there continue negotiations nego-tiations with Mr. Blaine." Sir Julian was not aware of what instructions in-structions had been given the British Brit-ish fleet, but thought it very unlikely un-likely that during the friendly negotiations trouble on one ride or the other was likely to be provoked. "The great point," he added, "Is that the negotiations have not been broken off, and that these reports, which really do much barm, are not correct." |
