Berlin, Sept. 25.-The reported Ameri-
can ''ult.matum' to Spain, has been
received with pronounced dixpleasure by
the entire German press. The official
denial from Washington is generally dis
believed here, and the denunciation of
.iingoism," yankee insolenee' and the
r:diculing of the Monroe doctrine have
filled the newspapers. The Conservative
press, as usual, 10 the most violent in
denouncing American aspirations. The
Kreuz Zeitung, in an editorial on the
"ForuL.'s' article, by ex-Secretary Her
bert. on the Cuba question, condemns
the poi outlined therein and concludes:
"If more sober thought does not dam
the stream Of American chauyinism, we
Germans shall not feel sorry in the event
that the Americans finally reach a sound
er judgment relative TO their power, ]. e.,
if they got a drubbing to teach them that
nobody may disturb the peace with im-
punity."
1ne StddlSDuTSCI Zftltuub, duothSA

tries is absolutely necessary to repulse
the schemes of Americas patriotism a d
jingoism, as both are becoming mo, e
and moIe insoient."

assured of the moral sympathy of Ger

insurrect:on and of the willingness of
Germany to cooperate with the other

bic means better understanding be.

case serious difficulties arise. No other
assurance has been given to Span, noi
is it at all likely that Germany win en-
gage to do more in the future.
