THE North German Gazette, refutinR
the Spanish claims to the Caroline
Islands, points out that in March, 1875,
England and Germany simultaneously
sent notes in which they resisted such
claims as that, and for ten years Spain
raised no objection. The German note
notified Spain that Germany was unable
to recognize the Spanish sovereignty Of
the power Of levying customs in the Caro-
line Islands, inasmuch ms no treaty was
known to exist relating to the Spanish
possessions on the Pacific, while il was a
notorious fact that no Spanish official ex-
listed at Pe.ew or the Caroline Islands.
The note concluded with the expression
of hvpe hat Spain would entrust her col
onial authorities, the commanders Of her
men-of-war and her ~consulates in Eastern
Asia and Polynesia not to instruct Ger
many direct trade with the Carolines.
The English note concluded with a declar-
alton that England did not admit the
right Of Spain e the Caroline and Pelew
islands, where she had never exercised
and did not then exercise actual dominion.
