LONDON, 22nd September,
It is semi-officially stated in Paris, that it still belleved the Morocco negotiations will lead to an understanding; but owing to the German. demands and objections, especially in reference to policing the froutier, and financial arrangements, an agreement, is not so imminent as was anticipated.

THE “MIKASA”
The Japan Daily Mail of the 14th instant says: "It is expected that the Afikara, will easily be saved. When it was recognised that the firmes could not be subdued an attempt was made to beach the vessel, but before this could be accomplished" the explosion took place and she took the bottom. The place, however, is shallow, and her conning-tower, bridge, and funnels are above water, Admiral Togo seems to have been on board at the time, but he escaped without injury. The present theory about the origin of the fire is that it was connected with the electrical apparatus. It is pointed out that the ship having only two masts, the main-most would be that astern, and this mast is in the immediate vicinity of the after-magasing. The Chuo Shimbun has a telegram saying that the hole blown by the'ex: plosion is under the heavy armour-plating and that the ship lies on an even keel in 13 fathoms of water. The greatest commiseration is fell with the victims, of the disaster and' with the Navy in general. Such an accident, imme. diately after the conclusion of the war, is mont unhappy. The statement that Admiral Togo was on board at the time is not confirmed.
AN ONLOOKER'S ACCOUNT. The Mainicht publishes the following ac- count of the dissater by a person who witness- ed it from the shore:-Soon after midnight en the pith a loud explosion was heard, and the atmosphere seemed to fill with smoke and flame. We thronged down to the sea, but, as the Naval Station was closed to the public, wa could not approach the scene. Apparently the explosion had taken place in a magazine at the vessel's stern, for that part of the Mibata was entirely covered by smoke, from which flames darted out now and then like flashes bi
lightening. Commander Ifichi, of the Mikasa, was seen standing on her bildge, evidently making the greatest efforts to subdue the fire while all the warships in the port were sending boats to her aid. At the same time, the vessels all concentrated their searchlights on the burn. ing warship, so that the scene was as light as
