London, Jan. 24. Italian war ves sels' activity in the Mediterranean and Red sea is causing increasing un easiness in shipping and insurance circles. Several large insurance com panies were affected during the past few days at', Lloyds. A five percent premium was accepted to cover the risk of the outbreak of hostilities between France and Italy in the course of four months. Although there wasn't apparent reason for the occurance, a premium of six percent was paid on the rlBk of outbreak of war between Great Britain and Germany and Franco within six months.

Tho government's demand on Italy was followed immediately by orders to Toulon to prepare a naval demon stration to be ready within 24 hours. ' .. ' '. Tbo question of tho seizure of the Carthage and . the Manouba was brought up In the chamber of depu ties, when Hippolyte Laroche, repub lican deputy from the department of Sarthe, questioned the government a sto what action it had taken. He compared the Manouba affair with that of tho British steamer Trent, which In 1861 was seized by tho United States sloop San Jacinto, un der the command of Captain Wilkes, because she was' carrying the con federate, commissioners, Mason and Slldell, to Europe. Premier Polncare, on rising to reply, was greoted with a round of applause from all the benches, In cluding thoso occupied by tho social ists and tho royalists. After tracing the history-of the two seizures M. Polncare declared that France was ready to refer mat ters to The Hague tribunal in ac cordance with the Italian proposal, but only after the Turks who had bqen taken from the Manouba 'were turned over to France. Italy,' he said,- had already promised to exer cise greater care In the future In dealing with foreign vessels.
