THE CAROLINE ISLANDS.
A German Protectorate the Only Hope for
the Future.

A German Protectorate the Only Hope for
the Future.
LONDON, Sept. 16.-The Cologne Gazette
prints letter from German merchant at zap,
saying that the European residents of zap, de-
sirous of suppressing continuous disorder, asked
the Spanish Governor at Manila, in 1884, to
annex the island and that the Spanish gunboat
Velasco was sent, and landed men at zap and
on the Pelew islands, but no flag was heisted
and 10 treaty was opened with the chiefs, The
merchants instance the ruination of the Mari
anne islands, which fourished decade ago,
through the Spanish Governors avarice in mo-
nopoizng all the trade of the islands, the result
being revolt and the killing of the Governor
and say that the same fate may befal the Caro-
line islands unless Germany protects them.
The statement is made that England does lot
intend to support Germany in her claims re-
specting the sovereignty of the Caroline islands,
but offers to mediate with Spain for the settle
ment of the question.
The Times, commenting the report that
Spanish officials feared England would force
Spain to agree to the terms of the rejected COM
mercial treaty by threatening not to recog-
nize the claims of Spain to the Caroline
islands, says: England has done nothing
further than to officially notify Spain of
her adherence to the note of 1875 and advise
her to agree to Germanys proposal to submit the
question to arbitration"
