Tribune :l LONDON, 2i)d.-â€"Th0 disappointmenti at Mr. Gladstone’s failure to make at positive declaration to protect Belgium ! on Monday night, seems far more gen-‘ eral and even indignant than I yester- day described it. Throughout his speech the House had air of painful waiting, changing at its close to one of i unsatisfied expectation. Tooday thei people are no longer silent. Liberals} and Conservatives complain bitterly that g the Government fails to comprehend the f determination of the peeple, and that; Mr. Gladstone’s economical and senti- mental shrinking from war threatens to precipitate England into the very con- flict he seeks to avert. The complaints ‘ of the German press on England’s irreso- ‘ lute policy and imperfect neutrality are ‘ felt to he just. Influential Liberals have ' already represented to the government 3‘ the danger of deserving the same rev ,H preach» from Prussia as from the United ‘ States, and urging that some decided; step be taken, or some clear declaration made both as to Belgium and the opera- e tiou of the neutrality acts.
