tiating with Germany for u loan to help

His hope was that the treaty would lend
to such large American investments in
Mexico that it would not be difficult fer
him to place loan in the United States.
He first tried negotiations with England,
and il Is said was prepared t0 make large
commercial aud other concessions, but
England declined 10 assume any new re-
sponsibilities. The dispatch continues:
The story goes that DisE has applied to
the German Government as last resort,
with proposition similar to that which
was made earlier to the Government OF
Great Britain, and negotiations upon this
subject are said to be now perding.
Germans here who ought 70 be well in

that Bismarck will grant MexicO's request
