Who Pays9
There is q curious question Of making
the plural posse cOmit0tuS. The question
grows out ot quarrel between the War
Department and the Bureau of Justice as
to IRON which appropriation the expenses
of the squads of federal soldiers used by
United States marshals shall be paid.
Germany and the Porto Rice Question.
The rumors repeated lately that Germany
has been and is now engaged in measures
having for their object the acquisition of
territory on this continent, and is at this
time asking Spain to cede Porto Rico,
our government has not been indiher.
ent to these rumors, and has there
fore resOrted to proper measures to ascer-
tain if there is any truth in them, but the
result Of the inquiry fails to support the
assertion as to the alleged movement, or
designs of Germany, while, perhaps a
cOaling station merely would be desirable.
1t is officially suggested, Germany has am.
pie employment in Europe without adding
new possessions on this continent to her
already abundant cares; besides, che, as
well as others European nations, has more
than once shown disposition to respect
the Monroe doctrine, the. enforcement
of which, ever since it was firsc declared,
has been considered by the United States
as of vital importance to the interests and
safety of the American people. The Span:
ish government disavOws any intention Of
giving Germany control Of any part
Of its territory, it's policy of preserv-
ing her colonies having often been
declared, and especially!at this time such
concession to Germany would add to the en-
barrassments which surround that govern.
ment and which threaten the dismember-
ment Of Spain itself. II the disav0wal Of
both Spain and Germany through proper
channels can be relied on. there is no truth
in the reports Of concessions Of territory by
one to the other.
