Mr.. WISE says the Danville riot was
deliberately planned and successfully exc
cuted attempt to carry an election by the
wholesale murder of inoffensive and unre-
sisting negroes. But A. W. Harris, color
ed republican, in aspeech he made at the late
Malone State convention, said that riot was
occasioued by the ncendiary speech of one
of General Mahone's white followers. And
vet Mr.. Harris knows as much about the af-
fair as Mr.. Wise, and besides, the victims
of it were members of his own race.

Snaiu and Germany.

The situation on account Of the occupa-
ton of the Caroline Islands by Germany is
u very grave ono, both by reason of the un-
willingness of the Spanish people to &C.
quiesco in the German occupation of zap
and because Of the insult offered to Ger
many in the proceedings of the Madrid
mob. The Spanish Ministry, with the sane
ton of King Alfonso, has formally requested
the German government to reconsider it's
action and evacuate the Caroline Islands,
proposing on its pars to abstain from ma
terial occupation" of the disputed islands if
the German reply leaves any basis for
further parley. Prince Bismarck, it is said,
is not indisposed to treat the subject of the
ownership of the Carolines as still open for
discussion. German prestige demands, how
ever, that the persons concerned in the
Madrid riots be at once punished, else, the
Zeitung threatens, "the Caroline Islands
will be occupied forthwith" Should Ger
many yield the islands to Spain rather than
interrupt the kindly relations that have
subsisted between the royal families Of the
two counties since Alfonso's visit to Berlin,
the incident may perhaps pass by without
result. If, on the other hand, the islands
are retained, the dethronement of King AL
fouso by the excitabie populace would seem
to be imminent. 1t is difficult to conceive of
a state of war between Spain and Germany.
at sea they would not at first be very badly
matched, and while Germany would be alb
solutely safe from invasion by Spanish
armies, Spain would be tolerably secure
from direct attack. If Invaded, the Spanish
would probably give the invaders much
trouble before decisive results could be
reached. The military resources of Spain
are as nothing, however, compared with
those ofGermany.
