MERELY A KUSE.
OFFICIALS THINK GERMANY \
ALARM Is ASST MED.
Texas Fever Can Only Be Carried by
Live Cattle The Damage. How
ever. TO America Small.

Washington Oct. 81. The announce
ment by the associated press that the
embargo placed upon American cattle
by the senate at Hamburg has been
extended to the length of the exclusion
of American cattle and dressed meat
from every part of Germany, was re-
ceived with surprise by the department
officials That Texas fever is merely n
ground which Germany could adopt for
retaliatory measures against the United
States, because of the supposed dis
elimination against German interests
in the sugar schedule of the tariff DILL
was the prevalent impression. The
German ambassador, however, assured
the secretary of state that the measure
of exclusion was inspired solely by
sanitary reasons and had no political
motive behind it, Secretary Morton
had a consultation with Secretary
Gresham assuring him that the eXpOr-
tation of Texas fever into Germany by
American cattle is altogether improb-
able, if not impossible, according to the
opinions of experts in the department
who have devoted much time to the in
vestigation of the disease during the
past year, and he said that he was con-
WINGED that the supposed discovery of
Texas fever was a mistake. The ex-
clusion Of dressed meats the secretary
Of agriculture is at loss to under
stand, because Texas fever can be
carried only by live cattle. The secre-
tary thinks that the damage to Ameri-
can interests by the action is greatly
over-estimated, as our expors of meat
to Germany are comparatively light
