GERMAN ATTITUDE.
RevuIsion of Pc buiar sentiment TO

BERLIN. April 16-In German Govern
ment circles IL is held that hOstlities be-
tween Spain and the United States are
only a question Of brief time. There
has been a strange revulsiOn Of popular
sentiment here. Last week the prepOn-
derance OF feeling was with the United
States. To-day the reverse is true. The
attitude Of the government, however. diff
fers widely from that Of the press. Baron
Won Buelow, Minister OF Foreign Affairs.
had a long conversation this week with
United States Ambassador White on the
situation, and Mr. White empowers the
Associated Press 10 say that the Minis
ter gave him the strongest assurance that
Germany, "in the event OF war, Will
maintain the most strict and loyal neu-
tralty, without any 'arriere pensee.'"
Germany's care 10 avoid a possible
mislnterpretation OF her designs Is shown
in the fact that orders given some time
ago 10 the home fleet 10 proceed early IN

excite false hopes upon Spain's part.

watering, and IL is not believed the
