LIKELY TO KETALIATE.

Proh ibition Of American Fruit by Ger
many IL Considered Wholly Unjust,ficd.
WASHINGTON, Feb. A real sensa.
ton in official circles was precipitated
by the news from Berlin that a decree
had been issued by the Prussian gov.
ernment prohibiting the importation Of
every kind Of American fresh fruit.
The alleged ground for the action-that
California fruit is infested with danger.
Gus microbes that threaten German
trees-is not accepted as anything but a
subterfuge to cover an act OF tariff re-
taliation. The general impression
prevails that America is now in
yolved in tariff war with Germany.
Views differ as to the steps that should
be taken, some urging radical re-
taliation and others conservative
measures. For two years the state de-
partment has been engaged almost
fruitlessly to secure from the German
government the reversal Of decree
like the present one, but applied to our

Germans in this matter is not encour-

A Credit to HI. countrx,

1t seems that the country can always
turn itsSeyes toward Dewey at Manila
and see something or other to redeem
the chagrin and disappointment due to
past naval conditions in this hemi-
sphere. We are always learning some
thing to give us fresh assurance that
the new admiral is the right man in
the right place.
The latest Illustration of this comes
in the shape of a rather serious story.
1t appears that the German consul at
Manila proposed to land supplies from
a German vessel in the harbor under the
protection Of two cruisers flying the
Kaiser's flag. Admiral Dewey warned
the consul that he would Immediately
fire upon them IL anything of the kind
were to be attempted. He was perfect
ly justified in the position he took. II
the supplies were intended for German
subjects alone, the consul could have
had them landed at Cavite, where our
people have prepared ample quarters for
the accommodation Of all neutrals in
Manila. The presumption. then, is that
the cargo was a commercial venture out
Of which the consul expected to turn
a pretty penny. If his game had work.
ed. he certainly could have done 50,
since the city is close to the famine
point and food is as costly as it was
last Winter up in the Klondfke.
We do not apprehend any friction
with Germany over this episode. The
right was too clearly on the side Of
Admiral Dewey.

New York. May 25.-In accordance
with general instructions received last
Saturday by the custom house officials
at Perth Amboy,,, N. J.. two barks.
which have been loading with coal at
South Amboy are having good deal
of trouble in getting away.
They are the American bark Annie
Reid and the British bark Lottie Moore.
The Reid Is bound for St. Thomas. in
the Danish West Indies. the Moore for
Vera Cruz. Mexico.
AS soon as the destination Of the ves-
sells became known the deputy collector
of the port, Mr.. Charles K Seaman,
telegraphed for instructions to the
Treasury Department. He was ordered
to hold both. In the end the Reid clear
ed for New York. The captain of the
Moore is still uncertain.
Capt. o. C. Welt, of the Reid. denies
the current report that the coal is in
tended for Cervera's squadron. He says
the boats are both old and comparative
ly valueless, and are being sent South
on speculation. 1t was hoped by their
owners that they would be able to es-
cape capture by the Spanish cruisers,
and that the coal would be bought for
the use of the naval vessels in West In
dian waters.
Capt. Nutshell. Of the Moore. says
that his company. represented by E. E.
Hutchins. Of New York, owns a vessel
loaded with COAL which is now in the
harbor of st. Thomas, and which the
United States Government will not al
low to be unloaded, and that it is pay
ing, meantime, heavy demurrage.

Peace with Honor.

European dispatches begin to show
quite plainly that the Spanish govern
ment is anxiously waiting for some cne
of her powerful neighbors to tell her to
quit. Nothing would please Sagasta
better than any arrangement which
would bring peace with honor" and
that he would probably translate as
peace without any loss of territory ex-
cept Cuba. Spain is too vain to make
overtures herself. but her ministers are
beginning to hint in a private way that
if Russia. Germany or France We're to
propose a scheme of settlement the
same would have respectful considera-
ton at Madrid.
There are reasons for doubling that
any of the great peutral powers will he
accommodating enough to do what the
Spanish cabinet would SO much like to
have done just now. The statesmen
who pull strings at st. Petersburg, Ber-
lin and Paris are quite well informed as
to the futility of mediatiun until Spain
shall come to a better realization OF
what she --.ust submit to as conditions
precedent to peace. Spain does not yet
feel that her flag has disappeared for
ever from the Philippines; nor that
Porto Rico must be surrendered to the
United States. 1t would be a useless
waste of time and diplomatic talk for
any power to open the question of a
cessation of hostilities until the Span
ish have made up their minds practi-
cally to go out Of the colonial business
and retire to the Iberian Peninsula.
Whether crushing naval disaster
would have the effect of bringing the
open question. 1t might work that way
in the case of the present liberal gov
ernment, but it would also be likely to
put that element out of power and turn
the country over to Weyler. who would
have to cat a great many words be-
fore cOnsenting to give up Cuba or
anything else. The ruling class in Spain
seems quite unable to Understand the in
exorable logic of recent and current
events; and that to continue the fight
against what it is evident enough can
not be prevented, is merely to sink what
is left cf the kingdom deeper into the
hole of debt and despair
Some glimmering of the truth will
have to penetrate the thick craniums OF
the Spanish premier and his colleagues
before they will be apt to achieve much
success in inducing any first-class gov
ernment to plead their lest cause In the
war court of Uncle Sam.
