GERMANY AND PORTO RICO.

THK GERMAN PRESS IGNORANT OF THE REPORTED
NEGOTIATIONS.
FROM THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE rRrBuSE-l
BERLIN. Sept S-The Porto Rico affair seems to be.
and think is mystery to the entire German press
The sem-oicial journals, such as the AorddentscAe
Augsmeae ZeitRng. have simply mentioned the re-
port while the others pronounce the story fabrlca
ton. The American Legation seems to be IN the
dark. Mt Bancroft Davis may have known of the
rumor in Washington and have brought instrue-
lions with him; but think am not wrong In
assuming that up t. the time of his arrival nothing
had been heard on the subject at the Legation
This is not the first time that Germany has been
charged with similar designs Ii is one Oh the
penalties of greatness at least of new greatness 10
be accused of all sorts of schemes and enterprises
which seem 70 be essential 20 the maintenance OF an
exalted position. So long as Germany was divided
nobody thought Of charging her, or even Prussia
with schemes of colonization. She had enough TO
do at home Bat since the war the telegraph has
given from time TO time various desirable islands
sometimes as a reward for favors TO be conferred
sometimes TO CRAFTY her own ambition. The Last
was the island of Curacao now belonging 10
Holland. This gave the funny paper OF berfin' Oh
course. occasion for many jokes about Curacoa
liquor and the advantages of anuexing the territory
70 Germany bur nothing more serious ever came OK

For commercial reasons 1t might be deSiianie
acquisition; for political reasoss perhaps less So
II is true that Germany took the initiative IN
recognizing the government of Marshal serrane'
but this can be explained without reference to any
express bargain. The progress of Carlism, and the
reflection that Carlsm triumphant on the Peninsula
would be- a valuable ally of France. was OF itself
enough 10 make Prince Bismarck open his eyes ana
do all that he could TO thwart the progress Oh the
brgands of Legitimacy. But that the German
Government undertook to secure the success OF

understood TO apply Prof Seymour he accepted
by laymen who would not under any circum

divided between DR.. Huntington of Worcester
Mass and DR.. Sullivan of Chicago, the friends Of the
latter hoping 10 make him a compromise candidate
when the fight between Messrs. Seymour and Hunting
ton grew The debate spirited but not acr-
N onious. Prof Seymour objected because he
sympathzed with confraternty Of the blessed
