BERLIN, April 14.-An incident which
has just occurred here is Indicative of the
growing German jealousy of American IN
fluence in Spanish-Ameri commercial
affairs. Germany, after long continued
efforts. at last succeeded In the attempt
to coerce the government of Santo Domingo
into granting to her the same COM
mercIal privileges as those enjoyed by
the United States. Mr.. Phelps, the Ameri-
can minister to Germany. unofficially
spoke to Baron MarschsIl Won Bieberstein,
the Secretary of State for Foreig Affairs. in
favor of Santo Domingo. and the result
was to call forth torrent OF adverse crit
icism from the German press. The news

papers contain articles in which the sub
ject is dealt with at considerable lenstb.
and N which there are many splteful nlngs
at the United States government.
Minister Phelps In stating the object OF
his interview with Baron Won BiebersteiD,
assured the Secretary that he came to him
spontaneously. and not by any instructions
he had received from Washington. In pro-
testing against the action of the German
government, he said that it was ungener-
Gus for q great power like Germany to force
O little country like Santo Domingo TO con-
clude treaties with the German govern
ment against the will of the United States
government.
Baron Won BiebersteIn. in replying to
Minister Phelps. said he was not aware
that the United Stares government ex-
ercised n prOtectOrate over SantO Do
mingO, but that, nevertheless, Germany
only claimed rights In regard to the matter
in question which were already recognized.

Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1892-12-16

al edict has gone forth that if New Mexico
is admitted it will be as an American
state, and not as an annex to the Mexican
republic. The claims of Arizona, how
ever, are well thought Of"
How unfortunate it is that this question
should have been called up at this time
OF course, that element in Wall street and
New England which fears the addition to
the Union of another state friendly to
silver, and our enemies in general, are
working over Mr.. Joseph's pratings to
the best advantage possible to attain
their own ends and injure this territory.
Delegate Joseph ought to have been
sagacious enough to have foreseen this
and kept quiet until it could be seen just
what sort of measure the senate was
willing to provide US with, and then
would have been time for him to have ex-
planned to the house fully the peculiar
conditions existing here and ask a
modification of the school clause which
would permit the teaching of both En-
glish and Spanish in all our public
schools.
But instead of this we ind Mr.. Joseph
clamoring that the senate bill is unjust
as it will not permit the teaching of
Spanish. The bill itself does not say so,
and in speaking of the matter Mr.. DO
seph has made great blunder in not
making absolutely clear the difference
between the house bill as it was passed
and the amended measure as it now
stands in the senate. If he had explained
it fully our enemies could not now be
creating capital against us as they are.
When sifted down, the difference between
the house and senate measures is not
serious, so far as congress and the gen
eral public are concerned, but it amounts
toa great deal to US out here ill New Mex
leo. In the house the language of the
bill is "and in all such schools the En-
glish language shall be taught" This,
mind you, is the wording incorporated in
the bill by Mr.. Joseph himself. Now the
senate grasses these quoted words and
puts it in this form instead: "The said
schools shall always be conducted in
English"
The actual difference is this: The
phrase in the house bill permits the
teaching of Spanish in addition to En-
glish, while the senate amendment,
though not prohibiting the teaching of
Spanish, requires that only English can
| be used in Conducting" the school. The
distinction is delicate one, yet one of
vital import, and Mr.. Joseph's failure to
bring out the real facts in the case and
explain that it is both English and
Spanish which we need in our public
schools has done great harm to the cause
of statehood. He has created an utterly
wrong impression by saying just enough
to do the statehood cause great injury
at very vital moment
