The Caroline IsIands pimculty.

In regard TO the Caroline Islands
matter, a recent Berlin dispatch says:
IL is rumored here that King Alfonxo
has sent an autograph letter to the
Crown Prince, Frederick William,
asking him TO mediate in order that
friendship between Spain and Ger
many may be maintained. IL is also
rumored that King leopold, of Bel
gum, aud Emperor Francis Joseph
have been asked 10 act as arbitrator.
Prince Bismarck, it is stated, favors
the latter, and desires a decision in
favor Of Spain in order 10 escape from
the difficulty.
Count Won Hatz'eldt, Germae sec
rotary Of state, says in a letter to
Count de Benomar, Spanish Embas-
sador TO Berlin, that Germany, in oc-
cupyiPg the Caroline Islands, had no
intention to prejudice any interior
rights which Spain might possess
therein, and that If am examination
into the question OF Spanish rights to
the Carolines should produce no muS
tual understanding. Germany would
be still perfectly disposed to appeal
inc dispute 10 II pOou olHrts VI Sohe
power friendly to both disputants.
German official circles here are 0 n
fident that some adjustment of the
Caroline Islands difficulty, based Oh
the facts of the case, will be reached,
and will prevent q rupture of the
relations between Germany and Spain.
Allowance is made for the difficulty
Of the situation in which the question
places King Alfonzo, for tits believed
among German diplomats that the
Radicals, the Republicans, and the
Federalists, supported ty the French
party in Spain, have combined TO
ioment antisG erman feeling among
the Spanish people.
