PARTIES WAXING Up.
Germany Becoming Alive to Situa-
lion in Turkey.
NEWSPAPERS URGING THE NEC-
CEssARY UNEQuIy0CAL POLICY.

One journal Says That the Great Political
Parties VIII Not Permit Governments
to Exist Which Has No Distinctive
German Policy.
Berlin, September 2O.-The anti-Tur-
kis b meetings viii oh have been held in
various populous centres throughout
Germany show rapidly increasing
concern In the massacres of Christians
in the Sultan's dominions. The Catho-
lilo clergy have not as yet taken so
active part in the agitation as the
Protestant clergy have, but the Catholic
laity are ssubsoribing literally to the
Armenian relief funds and the Centrists
newspapers urge the necessity of dealing
with the Sultan promptly vigoro usly
and finally.
DR.. Lieher, leader of the Centrist party
in the Reiuhstag proposes to demand
that the government adopt an unequivo-
cal policy in regard to the Turkish mas
sacres of Christians just as soon as the
Reichstag resumes its sitting In Noyem-
her.
The ReichsbOte, Conservative organ,
pours out torrents OF wrath at the alleged
German apathy in the matter of the
slaughter Of Christians. The question is
whether Germany is apathetio. 1t is
true the government auppresses any
tendency on the part Of the semi-off1oial
press to ward of public excitement
against the Porte, yet from every quarter
of the Empire come signs that the great
political parties, Conservative, Centrist,
National Liberal and Fresinnige are
waking up and will make 1t impossi BILE
for the existence Of government having
no distinctive German policy in regard
to Turkey, and merely saying "ditto" TO
the Russian or Austrian policy.
The Krsuse Zeitung announces that
the Conservatives of Germany are begin
ming to share the indignation of the peo-
pie of Eng land at the Sultan's inhnman
government, but do not favor the Eng-
lish demand for the deposition of the
Sultan. The bsst scheme to be followed
the paper thinks would be the for
nation of European commission to con-
troll the Sultan and his ministers by max
ing the appointment OF the latter as
well as the appointment of territorial
governors subject to the approval of
the ambassadors.

Spanish were flung into a small dungeon
at Manila. The next morning 45 of the

sires to witness their death.

els are making headway in the interior.
