suffering. There were all kinds OF

when it left Palestine, and that The

when it left Palestine, and that The
proposed stop ut Cadiz and Carthagena
is largely health %precantion in behalf
OF the empress, as the sea trip would
be long and arduous if nnbroken by
these stops at the Spanish ports. The
assurances appear to be voluntary on
the part of the Berlin officials, and TO
be in line with the care taken in that
quarter of late to minimize and re-
move the bad Impression caused by
several incidents occurring during The
recent war. The state department had
not, so far as known, taken cognizance
of the emperor's movements, and GER
tainly there was no purpoes of inqrir-
ing as to the stop in Spain, al1ito p
this action by the emperor MAS !. set
upon ns rather i~nopportnne tTssv til.
least, when the peace negetjt, -
with Spain r at q critical innvture,
and, when, technically, the war is still
in progress. At the same time Ger
many has constantly reiterated her
neutral and friendly attitude, and TIE
emperor himself took occasion in his
last address to the reichstug TO give
strong expression to the German pur-
pose to maintain the strictest impair
TALLY between this government aud
Spain. The officials, here and in Der
lin, have recognized that q strong pub
tic sentiment of a~nirnpsity was being
developed between the people of the
two countries, and steps have been
taken to Offset this as far as possible.
The late movement in that direction
was at the recent dinner given by
Chancellor Won Buelow at Berlin TO
Andrew d. White, the United States
ambassador. and DIR. Won Ilclleben,
the German ambassador to the United
States, now viitsing in Germany. it
was intened that the new assistant
secretary of state. Mr.. Hill, should he
one of the guests, but he was detained
in Holland. Private advices received
here by officials state that the meet
ing was important as furnishing an
opportunity for a free and full dis
cussion of all the subjects which have
threatened TO estrange the two gov
ernments, and for the establishment Of
u much more friendly understanding.
1t is recognized, however, among Off
cials, state and diplomatic. that while
official sentiment is satisfactory, there
continues to be an u~ndercurrcnt of ill
feeling with the public and the press
of the two countries.
For this reason the present move of
the emperor in stopping at the Span
ish ports causes something of q shock
in diplomatic quarters, rs it is felt 10
be one more obstacle in the way of
the happy raprochement which is be-
ing executed by the authorities here
and in Berlin. The arrival of the en-
peror at Cadiz and C%artbagena is
awaited with considerable apprehen-
sion by the German authorities, as it
may give rise to a Spanish popular
demonstration open to misconstruc-
ton in this country. With a view OF
avoiding such an affair, the German
chnre d'nffaires at Madrid has been III
structed to notify the Spanish govern
ment of the strictly unofficial charac-
ter of the emperor's visit.
