GERMANY PRESS IS ANXIOUS
To Know Stand Of United Atates and England
in Chinese Question.

Berlin, Dec 23.-The press is evidently
deeply interested as to the attitude Great
Britain and the United States are likely
to adopt in the Chinese affair. Every at
tempt is being made to create i'll feeling
against England and to represent her as
isolated. The official newspapers pretend
that Japan has acquiesced in the German
and Russian moves and will take no ag
gressive action. Everything inoicates the
anxiety that hinges upon the ultimate
grouping of the powers. Japan's action
in withdrawing her threats with refer
ence to the course of the United States at
Hawaii is interpreted as showing desire
to be unencumbered abroad and to have
her hands free to deal with the Chinese
question.
The Berliner Tageblatt ridicules the
idea of an Anglo-Japanese-A American al
lance, yet seems to fear it. The Kol-
nische Zeitung thinks America will side
with Russia, leaving England in splendid
isolation. The National Zeitung says:
at is easy to believe that England would
welcome active steps on the part of the
United States. but hard to believe that
the United States would adopt a policy Of
friendship toward England and of hos
tility toward Russia, contrary to all its
traditions. for the sake either of England
or China.

A BETTER FEELING
Awakened in Spain by Way Americans De-

Madrid, Dec. 23.-The matter in
which the American press has branded
the execution of Col. Ruiz has awak-
ened in Spain sentiments of sympathy
tending favorably to modify the rela-
tions between the two countries. The
ministers and statesmen consider the
moment propitious for arriving at an
accord between Spain and the United
States, which would speedily put an
end to the war in Cuba. They hope
that the Washington government VIII

the Cubans' reception of the autonomy
scheme and the concessions made by
Senior Palma impose an imperative
duty to do everything possible to pre-
vent bloodshed and destruction of
property in Cuba.

Boston, Dec. 23.-The board of election
commissioners will begin the recount of
votes cast in the election of Tuesday. on

and hard task, as the entire vote of the
city for mayor will be recounted. as will
the vote of the aldermanic candidates.
Lott and O'Toole. and those for school
committee candidates. McDonough, Davi-
son and kneeland.
The figures given out on the night Of
the election showed that kneeland had
won n place on the school committee. A
further examination of the returns, on
Wednesday, gave Dawson as eighth man,
and. today. a further examination retires
Dawson and gives the place to Nc
Donough by 10 votes. This however is
not official, as the board of elections has
not yet made any tabulation of the re-
turns. The result was found by one of
the department employees. who examined
the returns on his own account.
The latest figures for the last place on
the school committee ticket are: Nc

A MILD PROTEST
From London Against American Hints Of Bad
Faith in Sealing matters.

London, Dec. 2i.-The Times, in an
editorial, this morning, expressing sat
isfaction at the Behring sea settlement
which, it anticipates, Congress will not
object to, protests against the loose
insinuations of bad faith on the part OF
the United States government, which
have been thoughtleasly and unjustly
made in England" 1t points out that
there could not be question of bad
faith because no agreement had hither-
to been arrived at, as to the amount Of
compensation. Dealings with the orig
inal aspects of the sealing question the
editorial concludes: THE American
company must either make business
like proposals or the present conditions
of seal fishing must continue. They
are not, after all, so utterly destructive
of the fur seal as interested persons
represent them to be-
