German Comments.

The press Of this city very generally
approves of the settlement agreed upon
by Germany and England with regard
to African affairs. Both governments
are congratulated upon the amicable
adjustment of all disputed points, and
the opinion is expressed that the result
will establish the best of relations be-
tween the two great powers in the near
future, and guarantee the continuance
of peace.
The North German Gazette charac-
terizes the incident as fortunate battle
in which all We're victors and none were
vanquished. The Gazette also expresses
the opinion that the coming agreement
will not please all Germans or all En-
glishmen.
The National Gazette says that Lord
Salisbury has met Germany in a spirit
of fair dealings and that all apprehen-
sions have disappeared.
The Hamburger Nachtrichten declares
the agreement as outlined, to be a fatal
error, as it comedies all to England,
while Germany has been tricked in
most absurd manner.
