Affairs.
Copyrighted Associated Press. 1901


BERLrS, June 2l.--During prolonged
sitting in the bundesrnth Chancellor
Cnprivi eIp aimed the aims Of the gov
erninent in concluding the Anglo-Ger-
man agreement relating to the African
territory. lie dwelt on the immense
Importance and strategic value of He'll
soland, ana recalled the fact, that during
the war of 1870 IL was nee, ssary to de
tach large force to gulri against the
possible French landing at the mouth of
the Elbe ana other rivers, and to dig sub
marine mines to protect the water ap-
proaChes to Hamburg and Bremen. lie
produced an opinion from Won MOltkc
that Hcligolamd could be SO fortified that
II would be equivalent to a large increase
Of the German army IN the event ol war.
The bundesrath unanimously approved
the compact, and congratulated the EN-
peror and the chancellor. TIE report
that England spontaneously offered to
eedc the island Is in direct variance with
all the reports here The opinion OF the
people OF the island does not count with
either government. Both know that the
Inhabitants are opposed to annexation
to Germany. both on account OF the
dread Of military service and the GUS
toms and regulations. Germany will
make concessions ON these points. For
twenty years the leaiing Hamburg
Journals have deplored the granting to
England of the protuctorltc over ZlnLi-
bar, because II would place the whole
trade In the hands of the English East
African Company. Major WissInan has
tvlegraphed similar views.
All declare, however, that the aCquisi-
ton OF Hcligoland balances the Ios'cs
elsewhere.
The National Zeitung reminds the
mhlcontents that most OF the region con-
coded to England never belonged to
Germany.

that there was gold In the mountains In

one seemed to care to tako any chances
In developing them. for the reason that
there were not very favorable indica-
