Berlin. June 18.-Emperor Williams
sentiments in regard to the war between
Spain and the United States nave con-
siderably changed during the past
month. A member OF his majesty's court
informs the correspondent Of the asso-
ciated press that the persistent state
ments OF the American and British
press. often coupled with insulting COM
ment, alleging the emperor intends to
actively interfere In behalf Of Spain and
imputing to his majesty sentiments
which were actually foreign to him at
the opening OF hostilities." have greatly
annoyed the emperor. and the constant
reiteration Of the statements
as TO Germany's Official attitude being
unfriendly to the United States" have
displeased Emperor william exceeding
ly. The informant Of the correspondent
of the associated press continued:
After the repeated Official assurances
which our government has given Of its
intention to maintain the most strict
neutrality, his majestys brief, but
pointed, declaration to the same effect

closing OF the reichstag. In which he
testified to the unbroken friendship be-
tween the two countries, II In downright
folly to speak of Germany's Interior mo-
tives in connection with the war. There
has not been q single act or word from
the government which could be con-
strued as u~nfriendly to h United
States, nor has the government any
such intention In the future. 1t Is diff
cult to understand the train OF reason
ing by which the Americans conclude
that eithe the emperor or the govern
ment Is unfriendly to them. Either as
a nation or as Q belligerent. Germany
has always kept faith in politics and In
diplomacy. Why. then, his attempt OF
the American and British press to con-
strue every act as an u~nfriendly step.
Naturally the emperor and the govern
ment are seriously annoyed at the wholly
groundless charges. Patience is a viz
tue, but there is a limit to It,"
In contrast to the above official ut
erance. there are a variety Of indica-
tions in regard to the Philippines. Thu
officials Of the foreign office say Ger
many's strong naval display at Ma
Mia is made merely to protect Germans,
and a part Of the press adopts the
same attitude. based on the foreign
office statement. saying the imputation
tina Germany meant to Interfere In the
American operations or In the American
occupation of the Philippine islands Is
baseiess, as Germany's naval force there
Is altogether too small for such a pur-
pose.
Nevertheless, many editorials ere
couched I'm quite a different spirit. For
instance, the Marine Politische Corre-
spondex, which has close relations with
the government, says II expects that the
concentration of the German forces VIII
have permanent results" and advo-
Gates Germany obtaining from the re-
public OF the Philippines" a point dap
pui similar to the German base OF oper-
atoms at Kiao chou bay. while the Vos-
sische Zeitung says: The presence OF
a powerful international fleet at Manila
doubtless means not only the protection
OF the European population. but the
protection of the interests OF the powers
which have to safeguard their advant-
ages and prevent injuries to their in
terests acquired In the past. and prevent
the Philippines being torn from spain.
Germany and Russia, France. England
and Japan will not supinely submit 10
see the future OF the Philippines led
into new paths. nor will they refnquish
the right to cooperate in such a new
group Of foreign interests"
The Kreuz Zeitung, the main conser-
vative organ. and n paper which Is In

will naturally result in the Philippines
being restored to Spain by the Ameri-
cans But Il Is doubtful whether al
the close OF the war Spain will be strong
enough to keep any colonies. and IT is
also doubtful II the Islands will be able
to govern themselves, so. IN n case
there will be d~ificulties, the nnsl out

see"
Generally speaking. the German
continue their unfriendly
zone toward America. though they are
somewhat more cautious. All the re-
