AMERICAN POINCY
The Spectator publishes long lead
ing article on Emperor williams re-
marks as recorded by the Paris corre-
spondent of the Times on Monday last
and then cabled to the Associated Press.
The correspondent reported converse
tion affecting to represent the views of
the emperor. in the course Of which.
speaking of his anxiety as to the future
of Europe, he said that he did not fear
Chinese ambition or the anarchists. but
he did fear the expansion of one of the
great powers and the Intervention Of
the United States in the affairs of the
Old World.
The Spectator says: 'This is so I'm
portant that we would give much to
know precisely what is In the kaiser's
times singular CLEANS of insight. The
facts of the moment appear to justify
his enigmatic saying. The Americans
are exhibiting tendency to depart from
their policy of seclusion and interfere
very strongly in the affairs of the Old
World"
Continuing, the Spectator instances
Venezuela, Samoa and Hawaii, adding:
oiro <o tn
terfere with Spain in the most peremp-
tory manner. If there is any truth in
the account of instructions given to
Gen. Woodford, the United States in
tends to Immediately offer an ultimatum
to Spain by practically refusing her per-
mission to suppress a revolt in her own
dominion. The last event seems to have
very badly impressed the kaiser, and
the emperor's remarks throughout dealt
with the perils which it was his object
to avert. Does he propose himself to
avert American. Intervention in the af-
fairs of the Old World? If he does,
President Mckinley must be cautious
in his diplomacy, for the German and
Spanish fleets combined would be more
than match for any fleet America
could produce without an effort which
would tax the resources of the union,
not in money but in ships and sailors.
The union is irresistible only ashore,
and Cuba would be poor reward for
great and dangerous sea war;
1t is not certain Germany has not a
motive for such an alliance, for the
United States with Monroeism, is
nearly as much in the way of the powers
desiring to expand as Great Britain.
Overcrowded Europe finds that the for
eign policy Of the United States debars
them from colonizing South America
with surplus population. But the natur-
al place for Germany is in South Brazil,
and now that the government is in po-
sition to direct the tide Of emigrants
west, We should not be surprised to see
the already powerful colony suddenly
and amazingly enlarged.
