LONDON, Jan. 22.-The joint operation of the
English and Germans in East Africa have never
been popular with any section Of Englishmen.
Latterly the Morier incident has greatly
increased the ill-feeling here toward Germany.
Lord Salisbury, therefore. would gladly, if
possible, back out of the affair. According to
excellent authority he has notified Bismarck
that in consequence of recent occurrences at
Zanzibar England will not permit interference
with the sovereignty of the sultan. In spite of
official denials from Berlin, the impression
strongly prevails here that this is the real
object of the German policy.
