GERMANY'S NEUTRALITY.

So much has been said within the last few
days Of European intervention in one form or
another, should the United States decide to ac-
qulre permanent foothod in the Far East, and
so many misleading statements have received
currency with regard to the attitude which
Germany might assume in case this country
found 1t necessary to secure permanent control
over the Philippine Islands. that a semi-offlcial
statement In the "Norddeutsche Allgemene lei
tung" concerning the views Of the German
Government as to the character Of its neutrality
at this time is invested with more than ordi-
nary interest. The statement. In more or less
garbled form, has already appeared In num-

Says discipline Oh the Maine Was Lax

New York, Feb. 1S.-Thc Herald
tomorrow will say:
Lieut.. J. G. Sobrai, naval attachc
Of the Spanish legation at Washington,
was in this city yesterday.
Lieut.. Sobrai was asked for his
opinion as to the cause Of the explosion
on the Maine and his reply was: L
know the cause of the explosion. but
| cannot divulge it..
"Hc was pressed for further infor-
nation OH this point, and he finally
replied: 1T was the result Of an cx-
plosion inside the ship. which took
place in one Of the forward magazines.
The fact Of the matter is that the dis
ciplinc and the watch observed on the
ship were very lax. This, as one,Eng-
lish newspaper the other day declared,
is the ase on American warships gen
orally. These sort of things have
occurred on previous occasions on
American warships.'

THE GARRISON OF CUBA.
Forty Thousand Troops VIII Soon II
Sent to the Island.

Forty Thousand Troops VIII Soon Be
Sent to the Island.
Washington, Sept. 20.--It is the pres
ent intention Of the administration to
send to Cuba, to act as a garrison
force for the island, about 1000 troops,
In addition to the force now in Santi-
ago under command of General Law
ton. The organizations which are 70
comprise the Cuban garrison have not
all been designated yet, but 1t is as
sured that at least half of them will
be volunteers.
Within two weeks orders will be is
sued for the government to Cuba OF
10000 Of the permanent garrison, and
1t is the expectation now that they will
sail from the United States about Oct.
10. These troops will be followed
quickly by others until the entire force
of 10000 has been established on the
island.
1t is not the intention of the admin
istration to await the evacuation of the
island by the Spanish forces before
sending troops to Cuba, as the indica-
tions now are that 1t may be several
months before the Cuban commission
ers complete their work. Quite natur-
ally, a considerable number of Span
ish troops will remain on the island
until the arrangements for the re-
linquishment of Spanish sovereignty
over it formally have been concluded,

tion. This morning the doctors undertook
the operation and the patient succumbed to
