Berlin. March o2-The special an
nOuncement that Germany had given
her assent to Englands drawing on the
Egyptian reserve fund to dcfray the
cost of the British expedition up the
Nile valley, which was published in the
North German Gazette, was worded in
such a manner as to convey the inn
preston that Germany's assent was
not given to conserve English interests,
but rather for the sake of upholding the
interests of the allies of Germany in
cluded in the Dreibund, especially
those OF Italy Two articles on the
subject which We're subsequently pub
llshed I'm the Gazette We're Il great deal
more cordial toward England, and the
intention seems to have been to dispel
all traces of the recent German irrita-
tiun toward England. to defend the
Dongoln expedition as an inevitable
and indispensable movement and to pre-
diet that ultimate recognition by Eu
rope of the value OF the operations Of
the expedition in controlling the de-
structive power of the Dervishes. 9th
er inspired journals are now taking the
same view.
The key to all this sudden display of
good will toward England is unques-
tionably German sympathy with Italy.
If the battle of Adowa, fought ON March
!. in which the Italians We're disastrous
ly defeated, had not occurred, Germany
would not have countenanced the en-
petition uD the valley of the Nile and
probably would have sided with France

overlooked. Moreover. it had been
claimed that Smith had been largely
instrumental IN the grand jury investi-
