Our Relations With Germany.

WASHINGTON. December 23.-The an
nual report of jacob Mueller, United STATES
Consul General at Frankfort-cn-the-M Main-
Germany. has been received at the State
Department. He calls attention to the re-
dictionary tendencies prevailing in that
country on the industrial and commercial
relations with the United States, which
tendencies. he says, explain the i'll will
against the United States. They dread
American hogs, wheat and imports gem
orally. but still more the importation of
American ideas. Not only IS the tendency
to refrigeration noticeable iE the pOliti-
cal, economic and religious spheres of
life. but the barriers existing be-
tween mankind are also fOStered and
multiplied TO such ali extent that the
spirit of caste is again prominent and the
feudal system resurrected. He alludes to
these tendencies as the principal reason for
the prevailing anti-Americanism, and in
order that this Government may be prepared
not to anticipate from official Germany or
Austria. hostile as they are to American
liberty and prosperity, any gratuitlou5 con-
ceSSiOnS. The Consul reports that the de-
pressed state of trade and industry in Ger
many has continued during the past year.

Indian Depredations Causing Alarm in New
Mexico.
Ell PAso, Ten, December 22.-Addi-
tional particulars of the fight between the
regular troops and Apaches in the vicinity
of Silver City, n. NJ, were brought to FL
PasO to-day by the train from the West.
1t is now believed that in addition to the
physician and three privates which were
killed more than ha.f dozen citizens met
death at the hands of the savageS. Every
body is leaving the country, even the cow
boys and ranchmen, and desolatiOn and de-
population are met everywhere. The large
ranchers are left at the mercy of the Indians,
who are well provided with ammunition and
seem determined to carry the war through
the winter. Several families have reached
FL PaSo from the infested district. and
dozens of women and children have been
sent to the other towns for safety. The
troops massacged were part of Lieutenant
Fountains command and were securing the
territory in which n late bloody fight had
taken place. They were shot at by savages
from behind rocks, and were killed in few
moments. Other portions of the command,
which consisted, all tod, of thirty-five men,
met dead bodies i'll numerous places, the
result of the work of the Indians several
days previous. General Crook is now
known to be in favor of employing blood
hounds as auXiliarieS to the army i'll hunting
