received with pronounced displeasure by
the entire German press. The official
denial from Washington is generally dis
believed here, and the denunciation of
"jingoism," Yankee insolence" and the
ridiculing of the Monroe doctrine have
filled the newspapers. The conservative
press, as usual, is the most violent in
denunciation of American aspirations.
The Kreuz Zeitung, in an editorial on
the Forums article by eX-Secretary Her
bert on the Cuban question, condemns
the policy outlined therein and con-
cludes: IF more sober afterthought
does not dam the stream of American
chauvinsm, we Germans shall not feel
sorry in the event that the Americans
to their power; that is to say, if they
get drubbing to teach them that no
body may disturb the peace with i'm
punity."
The Stats Burger Zeitung, another
leading organ, says:
"a coalition of all the European coun-
tries is absolutely necessary to repulse
the schemes of American patriotism and
jingoism, as both are becoming more
and more insolent."
The same paper claims that Spain
has been assured of Germany's support
in the event of the United States taking
hostile steps. The correspondent of the
Associated Press here has made inqui-
ries at the German foreign office and in
other quarters. which show that while
Spain has approached Germany through
her Berlin ambassador repeatedly dur
ing the past year In regard to this, she
has only been assured of the moral SYM
pathy of Germany in her struggle to
quell the Cuban insurrection and of the
willingness of Germany to cooperate
with the other big powers in re-estab-
fishing by peaceful means better I'M
Outstanding between Spain and the
United States in case serious difficulty
arises. No other assurance has been
given to Spain, nor is it at all likely
that Germany will engage to do more
in the future. The speech of Herr
Haussman, leader of the South German
peoples party at Mannheim early during
the week, has caused intense excite
ment in political circles. Herr Hauss-
man reviewed the action of the reich
stag and the government during the last
ten years, and was particularly out
spoken in condemning Emperor Will
liam's utterances and views of politics.
Satirizing the emperor's divine right of
speech recently delivered at CoblentZ,
Herr Haussman said: ' .l'

Things can not contine much longer.
Germany thinks there must need come
a change for the better. A proposed

A curious commentary upon the value OF
expert opinion was offered at a trial here
on Wednesday last of a man named Ky
rieleis and his wife. They were indicted
for carrying on for years the sale of forged
Luther handwriting. Since 1903 Kyreil-
els has been collecting books on the time
of the reformation upon which he wrote
verses from the Bible and hymns, adding a
dedication by Luther and the reformers
name. Kyrieleis sold these productions in
many lands at big prices, and thus deceiV--
ed Professors Rose and Stein of the Royal
library of Munich and Noepli, the noted
bookseller of Milan. Kyrieleis was &C
quilted ON the ground of insanity, but his
wife was sentenced to eighteen months
Imprisonment. rr
