She Can't Bear to See Americans Take Her
South American Trade Away.
BERLIN, April 14-An incident which
has just occurred here is indicative of the
growing German jealousy of American in
fuence in Spanish-American commercial
affairs Germany, after long continued
efforts, at last succeeded in the attempt to
coerce the Government of San Domingo in
the granting to her the. same commercial
privileges as those enjoyed by the United
States
Mr.. Phelps, the American Minister to
Germany, unofficiallv spoke to Baron Mar
schall Won Biberstein, Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, in favor of San Domin-
go, and the result was to call forth adverse
criticism from the German press. The news
papers, in their comments on the matter,
construe the action of Minister Phelps into
what they are pleased to term American
overbearance," and all the editorial utter
ances are in a similar strain. The evening
papers contain articles in which the subject
is dealt with at considerable length, and in
which there are manv spiteful filings at the
United States Government.
Minister Phelps, in stating the object of
his interview with Baron Won Bibestein, as
sured 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 ungenerous
for great power like Germany to force a
little country like San Domingo to con-
clude the treaties with the German Govern
ment against the will of the United States
Government. Baron Won Bibestein, in re.
ply, said he was not aware that the United
States Government exercised protectorate
for San Domingo, but that, nevertheless,
Germany only claimed rights in regard to
the matter in question which were already
recognized

and these were filed with officials
and others. The Khedive and his Min
listers assembled on a dais in front of
the palace, where they received AIMED
Evoub Pasha, who arrived at 10 o'clock,
accompanied by a brilliant escort of cavalry.
The frman of investiture was read by an Of
fetal, who also read telegram from the
Sultan comforting upon the khedive the ad-
ministration of the Sinai Peninsula Upon
the conclusion of the reading, the assem-
bled troops thrice saluted the Sultan.
The communications between Sir Evelyn
Barring, the British Diplomatic Agent, and
Tigran- Pasha, Egyptian Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, regarding the Sultan's
firman. have been published. Sir Evelyn
first wrote to Tigrane Pasha, enclosing a
copy of the frman received from Con-
stantinople. In this letter Sir Eve
lyn calls attention to the changes
regarding the Sinai Peninsula, and
asks whether Egypt had received any e1-
plantations from the Porte in regard to
these changes. On April 13, TIgrane
Pasha replied to this letter enclosing'a
telegram from fhe Turkish Grand Vizier
conferring the administration of the Sinai
Peninsula upon the Khedive, and inform
ing Sir Evelyn that the telegram was en-
tirely satisfactory to the Khedive.
To this communication Sir Evelyn
replied that the frman could
not be changed without the
assent of England, who agreed to the defni-
tion of the boundary contained in the fir
man as supplemented by the Grand Vizler's
telegram, which England regarded as part
of the firman. Sir Evelyn added that he e1-
pected that both the frman and the tele-
gram would be promulgated together. His
note concluded with the statement that
England could not admit that Egypt's e1-
listing territory rights or claims were affected
by changes in the language of the frman.
Sir Evelyn requested that these communi-
cations be published simultaneously with
the frman.
