THE German question is unsettled.
Chlna's difficulty is increased, owing 10
uncertainty OF the attitude OF the Pow
ers. Germany's withdrawal from
Kiao-Chou Bay is said to be conditional
upon her finding a suitable naval sta
ton elsewhere. China is becoming
alarmed at the present situation. The
Government appears 10 be utterly pow
erless. No answer has been received
from Russia concerning the proposed
loan. There are calamitous forebodings
connected with the suns eclipse on the
Chinese New Years Day.
Yokohama, Dec. 2S.-Owing 10 the
failure of the Premier, Marquis Saigo,
bers of that body have resigned. The

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 2S.-Secre-
tary Gage was seen to-day on his re-
turn from New York and questioned as
to the truth of the published report
that he had rendered his resignation 10
the President, and that it had been
firmly declined with many expressions
Of confidence and appreciation of his
ability as shown in his administration
Of the Treasury Department Mr.
Gage was not inclined to discuss the
mal.ter at length. but said he had
not rendered his resignation nor had
he any reason to believe that he and
the President were not in substantial
accord on the great questions now be-
fore the country. The report he said,
probably sprung from remark he had
made TO intimate friends to the effect
that not for anything would he en-
harrass the President. and If he saw
that he was doing this ne would resign

Washington, Dec. IS, 1897.

Washington, Dec. 2S, 1897.
Mr.. Dupuy de LONE, the Spanish
minister, expresses strong disapproval
Of reports that the relief measures
adopted by the United States and CO.
operated in by Spain are a step to-
ward Intervention by this Government
In the affairs of Cuba. The minister
characterizes such reports as an eff
fort to mix politics with charity, and as
calculated toy excite Ill feeling which
will embarraGs the charitable movement
and throughout the isand. Referring
to the subpcct he said to-day:
This talk of intervention in certain
quarters has no other purpose than to
embitter both countries and to divert
the original purpose of giving.
The extension of aid 10 sufferers in
CuSa is no more intervention than
was the action OF all the nations Of
the world, including Spain. to extend
help TO Chicago after the big fire, or
that of the United States in sending a
ship load of grain to Russia and last
year to India, and 10 the city of Lon
don in sending food and money to
Paris when the siege by the Germans
was raised"
Turning to dispatch just received
: from Dr.. Congosto. Secretary General
at Havana, the minister proceeded,
quoting In pant from the dispatch:
'1t is not true that the Spanish au-
thorlties in Cuba are not equal to
the situation. Succor is being given
abundantly and relief committees are
in regular operation In two of the
ID,.t..
go de Cuba-there has been no concen-
tration. Forty plantations are grind
Ing sugar, and there is ample work for
those who want 1t. Many Of the re-
concentrates who are reported To he
suffering. are in such condition through
an unwillingness to work. The energy
With which relief measures are being
conducted in Havana is shown Nv n
glance Mt the Havana papers every day,
where there are long lists of char
liable donations from private par
ties Of condensed milk, corn meal and
like articles specially servi ,aabc for
the relief of children. 1t should be
borne in mind, also. that the Spanish
government has remitted all duties on
relief supplies sent to Cuba. so that
for every dollar of supplies entera-
Cuba, Spain adds a considerably. .ler
centage. the remihted duties runn:ng
from 40 per cent down.
1T Is perfectly well understood that
the American help will be received
with the spirit that It IS g,rnn, and
the American government. as Secre-
tary Sherman expressed in his recent
dexter, offers the wall .1owa gene
rosity of the Ame:icln people in The
same spirit that they have accepted
foreign help in cases Of public caloniity
IT seems that some persons. who make
statements as to conditions in Cura
