BLowITZ, II TIMES CORRESPONDENT, ACCUSES
HIM OF TRIcKERY IN SURPRISING DIPLOMATIC
DISPATCHES.
LONDON, March 5.-Blowitz, the Times cor
respondent at Paris, in q letter attacks Bis
marck for indiscretion in his dealings with the
British foreign office concerning the South
Pacific Islands. In the blue book on this sub.
ject, Issued by the British government on
February %, there is given a conversation
early in February between Bismarck and
Malet, the British ambassador at Berlin. The
German chancellor then read q dispatch
which he said he had sent to Count Munster,
the German ambassador at London, on the
9th of the preceding May, which purported
to convey to England Bismarck's idea how
Great Britain could assist Germany in her
colonization schemes, and his promise to re.
ciprocate by helping English interests nearer
home.
The dispatch urged England to fall in with
the suggestions made, because in the event of
q refusal Germany would be compelled to AJAX
French aid. The chancellor told Malet that,
as Count Munster seemed to make no prog.
ress, it was feared in Berlin that he had not
stated the points in the dispatch with suffi.
cient strength, 80 the Count Herbert Bis
marck was sent to London to assure the sue.
cess Of the negotiations. Herbert obtained
from the British foreign Office nothing but
general assurances of friendship. These were
valueless, Bismarck said, when Malet ex.
pressed regret at the situation. He assured
Bismarck that England had no desire to
thwartG GERMANY colonial ambitions, and asked
him what he wanted, New Guinea or Zulu.

too late to discuss the matter with England,
because Germany already had an understand

bismarck, Blowe. says, proceeded as if thus
dispatch had been sent to London to form the
basis of an alliance between England and Ger
many concerning colonial annexations: as if its
rejection by England had been formally and
deliberately made; as if this rejection were
the endorsement by Eugland, or German
French %alliancs, and gave Germa-
NY certain liberty in the south
Pacific, and then when asked for explanations
about his encroachments on British posses
sions, produced as his warrant the original
despatch. This production, Blowitz AYERS,
was made nine months after the date Of the
despatch, and just when it suited Bismsrck's
purpose. The Introduction Of this system,
says Blowitz, must create a panic in the po-
litical world. With such suppressed
dispatches the strong power can do as it likes,
and turn might into right anytime, so abolish
ing in%ternational law. To prove the assertion
that the despatch read to Malet
was never sent to London. Blow
itz points to the fact that Granville,
the British foreign minister, February Z, i'm
mediately after Sir Edward Malet had com
municatsd to him the Bismarck invitation,
wrote to Sir Edward: The dispatch IN ques.
ton was never. communicated to me.
DIR. Blowitz contends that it was impossible
for the dispatch to have miscarried or been
forgotten, because Count Munster would
have resigned if he knew that Lord Granville
had seen the dispatcn before making such q
statement, while if Count Munster had really
received the despatch and failed to transmit
it TO the British foreign minister, Bismarck
would have recalled Munster for neglect of
dlty. The fact thdt Herbert Bismarck, who,
the German chancellor alleges, was sent to
London to second Munster in his efforts to
to secure colonial advice with England,
failed to discover the very despatch which
contained the terms of his mission had never
reached Granville, DIR. Blowitz pronounces
very strange. He declares the truth is that
Bismarck did not believe England would give
Germany the assistance desired. He knew
better how to succeed with France, behind
the mission of his son. bismarck intended
to have the missing dispatch appear at the
proper time to put England in the wrong.
He proposed amuser- lie -tapis to confront
England with an accomplished fact.
