When the Cuban crisis arose public feeling in Germany was hostile to the United States. The Emperor was gen. orally believed tc be unfriendly; minis terS were eager to bring about Euro pean intervention on behalf of Spain; newspapers were b.,5er in their criti- cism of American diplomacy; and pub lie opinion seemed to be entirely on the side of the feeble monarchy which had misgoverned Cuba. \ few weeks passed and there was apparently sud- den chang in German feeling. Amer ica was nc longer attacked by the press. Official sympathy with Spain was dis claimed. The voices of merchants were heard eveFywhere in defense of Ameri- can policy. Americans in Germany were no longer. forced to hear angry talk abou. theircountry. This change of tone may easily be explained. The power of the American market had been felt. Orders for German goods had been cancelled. There vas an i'm mediate shrinkage of American trade. The German are the best merchants in the world. They cannot afford to quar- rel with good customers. Their trade with Spain Is IDthing in comparison with their trade with America. Ger many has become during recent years the busiest hive of industry On the con- tinent. There was d time when her sons and daughters had to go to for eign countries because there was no work for them at home. There is now employment for ali in factory towns, mines and prosperous ports. A great foreign trade enables the German peo- pie to stay at home and earn a living. When American trade with Germany slackened after the outbreak of war with Spain and the price of food rapid ly rose, tue merchants needed the warning alu made their influence felt. The word were heard everywhere: "Sympath. with Spain is ruinous to our American rsde and must be checked. We cannOt remain on bad terms with the great country which supplies us with cheap food and takes a large stock of what we have to sell" < great mar ket is a tremendous power on the side of peace~a ~a.,,t gOOd-Tnl. l>U European country which Is dependent upon It's foreign commerce, as England, Ger many and France are. can afford to be on the wroDg side oG the West Indian war. Unfriendly action in diplomacy will involve heavy losses in trade at a time when the real battle Of he world is over a market and is a contest of rival industrics America, with the best market which merchants can find anywhere, Is not likely greatly to need allies in Europe Business Interests will always induce the great trading nations to be on the best possible tecms with the United States. The sober second thought of Germany has been con- vincing proof that America Las the re- sources required for influencing friend ship in peace or war

The use of the word Yankee TO denote primarily an inhabitant of New En- gland, and by extension, one living 1T the Northern States as distinguished from a Southerner, is no longer accu rate.

throne Is not without it's strong points. The most serious drawback to his sue cess is the pretender himself, and his notoriously bad character, and the fur ther check that comes rom the oppo- sition of nearly every power in Europe to the advancement of his claims. In the civil war of 1876. he tortured ana then shot Capt. Schmidt, German subject, who was acting IS correspond- ent for the Cologne Gazette, which Germany has not forgotten. In fact, the feeling against him is so strong ln Germany that he dare not set foot upon its soil. Italy disllkes him because ne is a strong champion for the restora- tion of the temporal power of the Pope and, as King of Spain, he might make Italy a good deal of trouble. Austria hates him because be is opposed to the present king, who is & Hapsburg. Ell gland and France have always shown themselves opposed to him in all the efforts he has made to reach the throne. Yet there are in Spain over 1000 Car list clubs which are active in stirring up the disconteDt of the people against the government. 1t mas been said that Don Carlos would resign his claims to the throne in favor of his son, if such course would remove any hindrances that stand in the way Of the family's success.

SOLDIERS SEEKING HOMES.
Many of Them Have Trouble to Find
Places for Their Families.

The hotels and many of the boarding
houses of the city are well filled with
guests The hoteT registers show that a
big business is being done. This
is of course largely due to
the presence of the soldiers in the city,
but the hotel men say that there is good
travel on. Drummers and business men
generally are moving about to a consider
able extent, and the hostelries are Teaping
the benefit.
The rates at the hotels are rather high
for those who expect to be here for some
time. Some of the officers of the army
find this to be the case. and many of them
are making efforts 10 find desirable board
ing places for their wives and children.
There are not a few of the officers who
have their families here. but they find it
a difficult matter to secure accommoda-
tons for them.
Many of the landladies do not like TO
take children so thai, to the difficulty en-
countered on account of the city being
crowded, is added that Of finding houses
where no objections are made to children.
Some of the officers have been successful
in providing their wives or families with
places in boarding and private houses, but
a number have been heard to complain Of
their inability to secure accommodate lions
for them.
At Jacksonville the same trouble was
found, and there some Of the officers tried
10 provide for their wives by building
houses at the camps. At one place an
apartment house of very modest dirnen-
slons was built and there several officers
and their wives lived very comfortably.
The officers generally prefer living in
house 20 a tent AS far as possible they
make it a point to get a house. One OF
the most comfortably fixed in the corps
is the colonel of the One Hundred ana
Sixty-frst Indiana Regiment, who has his
quarters in house that stands in the
midst of his camp. Not far from this
regiment and near their own several OF
the officers of the First North Carolina
are considering the building of a four-roOm
cottage for mess and sleeping quarters.

PORT RoYAL's DRY DOCK.
Crpt. Purse Says 1t Is in Very had
Condition.

Condition.
The construction of the Port Royal dry
dock seems to have been very faulty, ac-
cording to Capt D. G. Purse, commits
sioner of the Freight Bureau. who went
over last Friday to Beaufort TO invite Sir
Thomas Tancred to visit Savannah.
The dock is certainly in a very bad
shape said Capt. Purse, when asked
about 1t. Two large holes have been
burst in the sides by the pressure of the
made ground around it, and there is a
smaller hole that may increase in size.
The heavy planks of the sides have been
forced outward and shiveEed 10 pieces by
the pressure, and sand has been washed
through these holes into the dock itself.
Water also comes in to a certain extent,
and the dock is not now a dry one.
1.-The damage to the dock was wrought
during the August storm A force of
hands is now at work getting the sand out
of it, l could not learn from the officers
just what steps are to be taken in the
way of making repairs. There is no ques-
ton about the construction of the dock
having been faulty. 1t looks altogether
too fragile TO stand, and it is surprising
that it should ever have been accepted"

MEN WHO WILL co WITH SECOND.
A Difference in Estimates of Number
Who Want to Remain in Service.

A Difference in Estimates of Number
The estimate of 10 per cent that is given
by many of the enlisted men of the Fret
Battalion of the Second Georgia Regiment
as a fair approximation of the number in
the command who would care to remain in
the service was discussed by number Of
those interested yesterday.
The conclusion remains the same In ali
minds, those Of the officers who win stay
in the service declaring the percentage
much greater, and those who will be dis
charged. officers and men, saying 10 per
cent. none too low an estimate.
An officer Of the Guards who wants 10
stay IN the army said that the enlisted
men who win stay IN will be as many as
40 per cent, at least of the enrolment as
it stands. He believes nearly an the
members from the country wdll prefer to
stay IN. There are but few of these who
are not away from the city now on fur
Tough. 1t is known that the majority of
those who will stay in will be the coun-
try members, but the enlisted men who
viii go out say that there will not be
enough of them to make the percentage
of the total enlistment run above 10.
The officers of the Guards who will re-
main In the service say the regiment viii
be assigned to Gen. Lees corps, aud that
ii viii be sent TO Cuba. This is something
they looked forward to- and they say the
probability of this being done will influ-
ence many Of the men i'm making up their
minds. They viii want to go to Cuba, the
officers say, and win embrace the opportu-
nifty offered by their remaining in the
service.
