Berlin, March 12.-(Copyrighted. 1893. by
The Associated Press.)--The German press
this week has given utterance to the unan-
i,nous conviction that war between the
United States and Spain is probable. al
though It is believed here the latter coun-
try viii do everything to avoid 1t. In diplo-
matte circles 1t is said Spain during the
past week sent messages to the cabinets OF
Europe to the effect that the Spanish gov
ernment hoped the rebellion in Cuba would
be completely suppressed BY April ], adding
that IL foreign influences had not stimu-
lated the insurgents and supported them
with arms, men, money and ammunition
there would be at the present moment no
insurgents left. So far as the correspond
emit, has been able TO ascertain the document
has not elected any replies
The opinion that the United States is not
honestly attempting to preserve peace ana
keep the war party In control Is widely dis
seminated In Germany and finds ready
credence, not only In the newspapers, but IN
official and diplomatic circles. One news
paper interviewed the United States ainbas-
sador Mr. Ardrew D. White. and printed
his opinion that the msjority OF the Ameri-
cans are anxious TO maintain peace But
the newspaper added that Mr. Whites opin-
ion was not supported by facts. and SAYING

tile lands Of Western Canada, which
were made at the several state and
county fairs in some of the Western
states this fall, have awakened consid-
cradle interest in the lands which the
Canadian Government has opened for
settlement, and which are given free
to settlers. The agents of the govern
ment, who are to be found in these
states, are flooded with inquiries re-
garding the conditions on which these
lands may be secured Large numbers
have located on these lands during
the past year, and send back to their
friends most encouraging reports. They
say they have entered on an era OF
prosperity, and are we'll pleased with
both the agricultural possibilities and
the climate. The provinces Of Mani
toba, AsslnaboiR and Alberta are spe-
cially adapted to diversified farming.
In some parts the country is specially
adapted to stock raising, and it is be-
ing profitably pursued. In these parts
snow seldom remains week at time,
the warm breezes from the ocean af-
fecting the climate thus favorably.
When the desirability Of these lands is
fully known there will be rush such
as has scarcely ever before been
known. Information as to low railway
rates, illustrated pamphlets, etc., will
be forwarded with pleasure by the De-
partnent Of the Interior, Ottawa. Can

name Of an agent Of the government.
