Views Of n German Scold.
LONDON, March 4.-The Times has a dis
patch from Berlin reporting that the Kol-

treats neither the United States nor Spain
with leniency. 1t taunts the Americans with

be guided by her conception of international
law. We should advise Spain to follow the
precedent OF the United States in the seces-
