DR.. Won HoLLEBEN AT WHITE HOUSE

Washington. July 22-The German Ambassa-
dor. DR. Won Holleben. returned last night from
an extended visit 10 NcwYork and al 10 O'Clock
this morning called al the White House. where
he had conference If twenty minutes with the
President. Secretary Day came To the White
House shortly before the Ambassadors arrival
and was present during the talk. Naturally the
visit created much comment, as personal calls
by members Of the Diplomatic Corps on the
President are rare. and moreover. recent con-
ditions in the Philippines ard talk Of foreign
peace ovcrtures led to the belief that these
questions would come in for a share OF discus
sion. II is stated positively however. that the
call had purpose Of presenting any question
relating TO the war. 1t was rather Of n social
character. as the German Ambassador has tecn
absent more or less for some time. and he has
been desrous Of having a general talk with the
President. Without. therefore. initiating any
formal discussion Of affairs connected with the
war il Is not improbable that these may have
been touched upon In the course OF the con-
ference As 10 this. however. both sides are
reticent From this point Of view 1t appears TO
have been another evidence Of the entirely
friendly purposes Of the German Government,
DESPITE the reports Of friction, and it is proba-
BILE that the conference permitted an agreeable
exchange Of good feeling between the President
and the representative Of the German Govern

London. July GA special dispatch from
Madrid says.
The arrival Of General Poaveja has in
creased the persistent talk Of a Cabinet crisis
The Queen Regent is credited with eXcaiming
Thank God" when she knew he coming
Opinions differ as to whether a semi-military
Cabinet would make for peace or for a continu-
Of the war. but all are agreed that it would
any rate put an end 10 the present inverte-
brate policy.
"CeTainl.' considerable confidence IS felt IN
General Polavej~ in the present difficult juno
turo. In the first place, he is better in touch
with the feelings Of the Army; in the second. he
need not trouble himself about his constituents.
ard. finally the fear Of unpOpularity would not
blind him to the real facts Of the situation.
Once he should see that the game was up he
would not be likely to indulge in useless repin-
ing but would make the best Of a bad job.
The belief is current in Madrid that the delay
in Commodore Watson's starting is due to
desire to give General PoaVeja time 10 form a
Cabinet and TO sue for peace"
