HOLLAND.
A PERIOD OF UNREST. BUT WAR NOT EXPECTED. Reecived April 2, 11 p.m. London. April 2. Delayed messages from The Hague slate that there was much excitement in Holland on Friday at the report that officers' furlough had been suddenly withdrawn and that goods trains had been icquisitioned. The reports were soon authoritatively denied, but later reports announce that an extraordinary Council of Miniflsers lias been held. The Nieuwe Courant says that no immediate danger of war seems to exist. The anxiety that has arisen is not connected with the torpedoing of the Tubantia, but the cause lies in the general war situation, which is entering a new phase, that is giving Holland cause for special anxiety. The paper conjectures that a changed situation may be the outcome of the Paris conference, and adds that the Cabinet Council contemplates an early secret sitting of the Second Chamber. Messages from Amsterdam state that Scandinavian shipping is astir, owing to ■rumors that the Entente propose to complete the blockade of Germany.
