THE FEELING IN germany
Becoming More Favorable
Toward America.
: THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION
Emperor williams Interest in Cuban
War operations-The Question Of
American Meat.

Berlin, Oct. 11.-There has been a
great change in German public opinion
on the subject of the retention of the
Philippine islands by the United
States. The feeling toward America
generally is much more favorable than
couple of months ago. The news
from the United States that the govern
ment at Washington is seriously con-
templating holding the Philippines, is
commented upon dispassionately in
the German press, and it is significant
that this week two papers OF such
standing as the Kolnische zeitung and
the Vossiche zeitung have published
long letters from German merchants
settled in the Philippine islands, in
which American annexation is strongly
advocated. A correspondent OF the
Vossiche Zeitung even vigorously COM
bats Germany making any attempt to
secure portion of the islands, citing
Weighty reasons therefor.
Another significant fact this week
was that a delegation representing
German and German-Swiss firms in
the Philippine islands called at the
United States embassy to express hopes
that America would not relinquish
the islands and would not return them
to Spain, which the delegation claimed
would mean a recurrence of revolution,
and the perpetuation OF commercial
troubles. The delegation also asked
II it might go to Paris and lay its views
before the United States peace commits
sion. The United Statets ambassador
here, MI. White, advised the delega.
tion not to do so.
Mr.. White does not anticipate Ger.
man interference directly or indirectly,
even if the United States insists upon
retaining the whole of the archipelago.
Councillor Schwarzenley, formerly
of the German EN- bassy at Washington,
declares that Germany does not dream
of putting obstacles in Americas way.
Nh. White had a long conference on
Wednesday last with the German min
lister OF foreign affairs, Baron Won Bue-
low.
The imperial government last win
ter, goaded by the agrarians, drew up
bill to regulate the inspection Of
American meat exports. The bill prac-
tically meant the death of the Ameri-
can meat trade, and, luckily, it could
not be made ready for production in the
reichstag before that body adjourned.
Since then, the situation has changed.
The charges against American meats
have invariably proved to be groundless
so that the violent press attacks have
ceased. The government therefore has
considerably modified the bill, which
is now much less stringent, but some
of its provisions are still highly preiu.
dicial to canned meats and sausages.
1t is expected that the measure will be
introduced into the reichstag soon after
it's convening next month. The entire
right and majority of the centrists
favor the measure, so its passage is vir.
tually assured.

Letter From Manila.

In letter from George W. English,
dated Oct. 9th from Manila, to Messrs.
Cooper and Dustin of this place, in
speaking of the country, says:
The natives are an understood cop
per colored people belonging to the
Malay class. They seem to be fairly
intelligent but are in no respect fit to
govern themselves. Their horses are
very small; Navajo pony is large
horse compared to them, but they are
very strong and active and all balky,
The pictures you have seen of the
native huts of Africa will answer very

Of bamboo poles with thatched roofs.
Every native has few banana trees
around his hut; they don't appear to
cultivate anything; the bananas are
inferior in quality, the oranges are not
fit to eat; cocoanuts are good enough
but one soon tires of them. l would

ternoon when he started back. About
three-fourth of mile from the post
Office and near the San Juan river he
had apparently dismounted, where he

the cause of his death, as he had been
troubled for some time with that dis
ease.
The funeral was held at the residence
of the deceased and he was buried at
Aztec Friday.
Mr.. Gibson has been a resident OF
this section for several years, having
come to Durango in 1892. In April,
1898, he re.established the Index at
Aztec. He continued to conduct the
Index till February, 1895, when he
sold the same to II. B. Swartz and
moved to the ranch near Bloomfield,
where he resided at the time of his
death. He was married on the 18th of
August of this year to Miss Margaret

A. t. Sullenberger's Road.

Mr.. A. T. Sullenberger evidently in
tends to build a railroad into this
county from a point on the D. & R. q.
at the mouth of Cat creek on the Ute
reservation. Mr.. Sullenberger and
Surveyor Burwell of Durango are now
in that country making a preliminary
survey. After reaching the top of the
divide at the head of Cat creek one OF
two routes may be chosen. One leads
through Taylor canon and the other
would strike the Stollsteimer creek at
or near the Mann ranch. The objec-
tive point of the line would be some.
where in the immense timber belt ly-
ing west, southwest and northwest of
Pagosa Springs.
The citizens of this county and es-
pecially of Pagosa Springs earnestly
hope that Mr.. Sullenberger will carry
out his present plans and have the
road in operation before the Close OF
the next season.
Mr.. Sullenberger is man of very
high character and wherever he has
operated mills in the past he was one
of the people and we are sure that the
people of this county would appreci-
ate his presence and his enterprises.
The location of lumber plant west
of town would create good market
for the surplus grain and hay which
our farmers would have to sell and
also stimulate better prices.
For these reasons Mr.. Sullenberger
should receive the encouragement OF
every citizen.-Pagosa Springs News.
