THE WAR SCARE.
INVASION OV ENGLAND,
iBY ELECTRIC TEtiKGKAI'H.—COI'YUIOIIT. 1 London, July 3. Ix tho House of Lords to-day, Lord Wolseley declared that it would be the easiest possible fltiiiL' for France to collect 100,000 men with 300 guns in one night, ship the. force at any of the ports of Franco, and transfer them to England, with the object of capturing London. Lord Wolseley has also condemned the wildly misleading statements recently made by Lord Ceorge Hamilton, in the course of his denial of Lord Wolseley's previous utterances on the subject. Lord Salisbury said a surprise invasion of the nature indicated by Lord Wolseley was impossible. The statements referred to by bin) as made by Lord George Hamilton were made on the strength of information furnished to the latter by the Transport Department. Lord Wolseley's fears were ridiculed by experts at the Admiralty, and it would be more becoming on the part of the noble lord to guide rather than chastise the Government. The Duke of Cambridge expressed tho opinion that there, was no immediate danger to be feared in the direction indicated by Lord Wolseley.
