fication for deviation from the usual terms,

Copyrighte 1895. by the Associated Press.
BERLIN. July lathe recent speech OF
United States Ambassador White is grad
ually having good effect. The tone of the
German papers, with the exception of the
rabid anti-Amerieans. has distinctly
changed.
Many OF the newspapers which have hith-
erto been unfriendly are now just the OPP
poeite.
Mr.. Whites Fourth of July Grafton has
also strengthened his position here. It Is
understood that the withdrawal OF some OF
the German warships' from Manila was due
TO his pointing out that the feeling Of the
Americans in regard 10 such a formidable
array OF German ships in the harbor was
one of suspicion as TO the intentions of Ger
many.
An official foreign officer. explaining the
attitude of the German government. said:
THE presence there of our warships was
solely due to our desire to protect German
interests in the Philippines. which are too
large for one or two ships TO protect in
event of anything going wrong.
when they first appeared, Admiral
Dewey was unable to land a force sufti-
GENTLY strong TO protect the foreigners
from the semi-savage hordes OF Insurgents.
who were also a source OF danger to the
Germans. In view of the repeated assur-
ance of neutrality on the part of Germany,
and the friendly relations existing between
the two countries, the American suspicious
are unfounded."
The correspondent of the Associated
Press is informed that Gen. Azcarraga, the
former SnausSh minister of war is report-
ed to be on n mission. the object of which
Is to sound the cabinets Of the continental
powers on the subject of peace negotia-
tons. He is not expected in Berlin.
The newspapers are discussing the ques-
tons Of the future of Samoa and the Caro-
line islands. The Schlessiche Zeitung re-
calls President Mckinley's announcement
that the United States is not willing 10
give UP its rights in Samoa
The minister Of commerce II investigat-
ing the present and prospective results of
the war on German exports. The Cologne
Industrial Association reports that trade
with Spain has been severely injured by
non-payments while trade with the United
States has been little affected, though buy
ers in some branches are less frequent.
The Tageblatt says the report SHOWS
what was expected from the United States.
namely, Spains complete ruin.
In spite Of Admiral Dewey's dispatch con-
firming the exclusive news of the Asso-
ciated Press regarding the conduct or the
German warship Irene at Subic bay. Phil
ippine islands. section OF the German
press still processes TO disbelieve the Irene
incident.
The Cologne Gazette says: The story
was gotten up by the Associated Press with
the deliberate purpose Of producing enmity
between Germany and America"

PUSH THE WAR HOME.

1t is officially announced that this gov
eminent has determined TO send under
Commodore Watson a squadron to the
Spanish coast. As we understand IL, the
primary object OF this policy is TO compel
Spain, il possible to reconsider the dis
patch OF Camara 10 the Philippines pro-
vlded, indeed that is really his objective
point
IL the demonstration ordered shall
prove successful in this, the Navy De-
partment will see TO it that Commodore
Watson has sufficient force to effectually
dispose of Camara should We succeed in
coming to close quarters with him.
Should the Cadiz squadron, however,
Keep on TO Asiatlc waters and tempt fate
ut the hands of Dewey, Watson's squad
ron will only consist OF enough ships to
harass the Spanish seaboard
The decision Of the government regard
ing this matter would seem to argue
entire confidence at Washington in the
almost immediate reduction of Santiago
and the capture or destruction of Ger
yera's squadron. And that accomplished
the wisdom of the proposed movement
under Commodore Watson would seem
beyond question. Every day it becomes
more and more apparent that internal
conditions i'm Spain are ripening 10
crisis. in which the Madrid government
will. DO compelled to sue for peace. Only
a great and decisive Spanish victory
and that is a contingency too remote to
be worthy of serious cOnsideration-could
avert that crisis, and even then, it could
only avert it for short time. The policy
of carrying the war into Africa could but
hasten the crisis, whether Camara re-
turned TO meet defeat in an engagement
with Watson, or our operations should
be confined TO attacks upon Spanish
ports. There is in the proposed demon
stration the possibility-nay, more, the
probablity-of forcing Spain TO terms
without the necessity Of prosecuting eN-
tensive military operations in Cuba after
the fall of Santiago. If this can be
done. It is, as we have said before in dis
cusslng this question, contamination
deyoutly 10 be wished. Ii would mean
a great saving In blood and treasure
20 this country. 1t would mean less
grinding taxation upon the masses and
the snatching of thousands OF our young
men from the embrace Of death on the
battlefield and In the haunts of pesu-
lence.
