(By Elbotbic Xeleobapb.—(Jopthiohi. j [Feb Pbess Association. | WASHINGTON, March 11. In the event of Lord Salisbury persisting in bis refusal to agree to a renewal of the modus vivandi, the United States will blockade the Behring Sea. Warships are making all preparations to carry out the blockade, and also to refuse all vessels entrance to the sealing grounds. March 13 A section of the Press which supports President Harrison continues to make violent attacks on England. The Cabinet are waiting for Lord Salisbury to distinctly define his policy with regard to the Behring Sea before taking further steps in the matter. OTTAWA, March 13 The ‘ Free Press ’ newspaper, published in Ottawa, declares that the people of America will never sanction a war with Great Britain on account of the Behring Sea squabble. On the other hand, it is believed that Lord Salisbury would sacrifice the interests of Canada rather than have serious trouble with the Cabinet of Washington.
