Berlin, Oct. .S.-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 feel
ing toward America, generally, is much
more favorable than 1t was a couple of
months ago
1t is significant that this week two pa
pers of such standing as the Kolnische
Zeitung and the Vossische Zetung have
published long letters from German mer-
chants settled in the Philippine Islands,
in which American annexation is strongly
advocated.
Another significant fact this week was
that a delegation representing German
and German-Swiss firms In the Philip
pines called at the United States embassy
to express hopes that America would not
relinquish the islands, and, above all, not
to return them TO Spain, which, the dele
cation claimed, would mean a recurrence
OF the revolution and perpetuation of COM
mercal troubles.
Privy Councillor Schwartsenstein, for
merly of the German embassy at WASH

San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. SO,-The
leading politicians of the island are very
much concerned about the future govern
ment of Porto Rico.
After prolonged struggle they sue
ceeded. just before the opening Of the
war, in securing from Spain the outward
semblance of a complete autonomistic re-
gime.
The result of the war and the transfer
of sovereignty to the United States, ac-
ceptable as it was to all classes generally,
of course upset the plans of many of the
leading natives who had ambitiously strlv-
en- to rise to eminence.
The correspondent here of the Associat-
ed Press had an Interview with Luis Mum
ozy Riviera, the president of the insular
government, under the autonomustic re-
gime, in which he made it plain that the
people of the island would not take kind
ly 10 a system which destroyed their In
diViduaiiIy.
