ENGLAND AND GERMANY.

A Sensation Grated in London by the Pub.
location of Semi i-OmcIaI Note in Berlin
Newspapers.
LONDON, Dec. Quite a sensation has
been caused in political circles, both here
and on the continent, and wide attention
attracted generally by a semi official note
published by the Berlin press. The note
contains protest against the opposition
of England to the efforts Of Germany in
Zanzibar. 1t asserts that anti German
tendencies prevail in England, and the
cooperation in African schemes that
might be given to Germany, is through
their influence. Germany is forced to
conclude," says the note, "that England
does not need Germany's friend
ship" Then follows what may be-
looked on as a warning to the insuIar
power. at is true that situations may
arise in the immediate future in which
England may feel the want of friendship
from a Continental power; but such con
ditiOn of affairs is not impossible" The
note is but the legitimate outcome Of
feeling that has long existed in Germany
over the hesitation of English politicians
to commit the British Government to the
doubtful policy Of assisting Germany to
help herself to whatever benefits the East
coast of Africa may present. The osteu-
sible object Of the desired cOpartnership
is to root out the slave trade and to make
East Africa and Zanzibar safe for Euro
peans.
