GERMANS ANNEX ANTWERP.-The recent
discussion in the German press OF the commercial
and strategic advantages which the possession OF
Antwerp one Of the strongest fortresses. and one
Of the most important ports Of Europe. would az
ford to Germany. has given rise TO an angry feel
ing among that by far the larger portion OF the
Belgian nation which is opposed to KinG Leopold $
philo- German policy and inclines toward France.
1t has. moreover resulted in the calling OF public
attention to the remarkable extent to which Ant
werp is becoming a German city. The great bulk
Of its commercial houses, its shipping export and
import trade, Is in the hands Of Germans VINO
employ mono but Germans. They own all the brew
cries and disiercs of the place. they nave tnelr
separate schools and their religious and phllah-
thropic organizations besides controlling the mu-
ncipa elections and holding an altogether dlspro-
portionatc number of offices In connection with tne
chambers of commerce and the various branches
of the municipal administration In fact the Ger
mans have to all lntents and purposes annexed
Antwerp materially. and IL looks very much as II
the political and official absorption OF the place
by the German Empire was bound TO follow IN
course of time. There IL much ground for very
serious alarm the part of those Belglans VINO
have the independence and integrity OF their coh-
try at heart. and who do not relish the IDEA or De-
coming dependents OF Germany.

ASSASSINATION S PRIME
MINISTER

Senior Canovas Castillo, prime min
lister of Spain, was assassinated at
Santa Agueda, on Sunday, by Michael
Angino Coli, an anarchist, who de
clared that he killed the minister ''in
accomplishment of just vengeance, y
and that the deed was the outcome OF
ii vast Anarchist conspiracy. The
murdererf fired three shots, one of which
struck the Premier in the forehead
and another III the breast. The
wounded man fell dying at the feet OF
his wife, lingering an hour in agony
and dying with the cry Long live
Spain" upon his lips.
An ad-interim ministry has been
formed under the presidency of Senor
s-Ghyon, minister of the interior.
In commenting upon the affair and
and its possible results, the Baltimore
4HlericUl1, on Monday, says; with
his death the dynastic troubles, which
have been threatening for some time
TO break forth, are not unlikely to
assume critical dimensions, with a
possible result of a change in the oc-
cupant of q throne"
