GERMANY's DENIAL.
Will Observe Strict Neutrality In the
Philippines.

Berlin, June 16.-The Cologne Gazette
today publishes a note understood to
be semi official which reads as follows:
According to trustworthy Informal
tion all conjectures in the press and
political circles iii Spain which are be-
ing built on the supposed intention of
Germany to abandon her neutrality in
the Philippines question are entirely
baseless. In Spanish official quarters
the arrival of German men-of-war at
Manila is regarded as perfectly
natural, for the German interests there
demand protection.

NO TROUBLE FROM GERMANY.
Jealous Powers Restrain Each Other
From Interference.

New York, June ia dispatch to
the World from London says: Neither
Russia nor France-and still less Eng
land-would tolerate any attempt to
turn Americas gallant overthrow of
the Spanish fleet and virtual capture
of Manila to Germany's special advant-
age.
International jealousies guarantee
that America will not be troubled by
any interference in the Philippines.
This is the opinion in high political
quarters here, where the fulminations
of the Berlin Chauvinist press are
treated as of no account.

Government revenues will huctuate
great deal during the next few years,
owing to the transition which is going
on in the taxing system, and a postal
savings bank, devised on a proper
plan, would be the best means of afford
ing the government an easy way to
provide variations in its revenue, with
the least possible effect on the money
market.
The need of postal savings bank as
an aid to the operations of the nation
al treasury, is unquestioned but there
is some doubt in the minds of eminent
financial authorities as to whether
there is any real demand for postal
savings bank in u country with such
complete and extensive banking facili-

and of permitting people TO deposit
