THE NORTH-SCHLESWIG QUESTION.
FLENSBURG, Sen. 13.
The Flensbutg North German arizette, a paper
favourable to the existing government, says :
"shlumesnea-leaters have reached us frees towns
and villages in the northernmost districts of &Wea-
-1 •
wrg, asking information as to the extent and
position of the portions proposed to be ceded to
Denmark. The apprehensions of German real-
I dente in this matter, however, are hardly jus-
tified. The Chancellor of the North German
Confederation is far too German and far
too sagacious to permit towns like Hadersleben
and Christiansfeldt to be handed over to Den-
' mark. Further, as the Prussian Chamber of
Deputies would eventually have to sanction any
cession of territory, we are eonvinced that house
will know how to uphold the interests of the Ger-
man inhabitants of North Schleswig, for whose
sake Prussian blood has beeq abed."
The only person favourable to Denmark among
the Schleswig-Holstein notables summoned to
Berlin is Herr Kruger, recently elected a member
I of the North German Parliament. _

It is understood that he will protest against the
further postponement of the popular vote in the
North Schleswig districts..
