 GERMANS HOSTILE
 TO AMERICANS \ Bitter Feeling Prevails Among the Up-
 per Glasses. EXPORTERS HEAVY LOSERS Orders Of the United States Are Going to Some Friendlier Nation. FEW ADVANCED PAPERS IN BERLIN The War News Arrives There Twelve Hours Late Germany Is Keeping Jealous
 Eve on the Philip

Berlin. May 14-While there has been a marked change in the anti-American com- ments of the official press of Germany, there has been no change in the opinions of the people, which continue to be most hos tile to the United States, especially among the upper classes
 An American lady who married @ Ger man nobleman, both of whom being in con- stant touch with the highest society, said to the correspondent of the Associated Press:
 "You have no conception of the bitter feeling against America It is impossible for me to go anywhere without hearing my country abused on all sides We are accused of being nation of hypocritical tradesmen who forced war with Spain with no other obect than our own financial gain" s twelve hours late, and the Lokal Anzieger is the only Berlin paper with enterprise enough to get a few brief specials from New York direct. When the reports arr rived of the return of the Spanish fleet to Cadz the newspapers emptied the vials of their wrath upon their erstwhile pro- tege.
 Loss to Exporters The exporters. who are greatly. perturbed at the serious losses which have already resulted from the anti-American tone of the press which losses are reported today to have already amounted to several million marks, and which threatened to be follow ed by permanent transference of orders to friend1ier nation, are making strenu- ous efforts to curb the newspapers. The . semi-official communications made on the subject by the government, protesting that Germany is friendly to America may be regarded as due recognition of government circles that unfriendlness towards the United States means loss of trade
 Baron Von Buelow, the minister of for eign affairs, has reiterated to United States Ambassador White, Germany's intention to observe neutrality during the war. He explained that the absence of a formal declaration upon the part of Germany was simply due to the fact that Germany is not inthe habit of making such declara- tions even in the case of wars which are - more important to her interests, than the present, like the Russo-Turkish and Chin ese-Japanese wars.
 The newspapers here are discussing the probability of national Spanish bank ruptcy.
 To Bring About Intervention
 The Papal Nuncios of Munich and Berlin have had several interviews with Baron Von Buelow and Prince Hohenlohe, the imperial chancellor, with the view of trying to bring about the intervention of Germany in the war between Spain and the United States. The answers they have received are in substance that Germany does not deem the time ripe for intervention
 The proposition of the Russian ad Ger man newspapers 10 make Europe indepen- dent of America for grain supplies by the establishment of state granaries is being discussed. The government press contends there are no means to accomplish this and that Russia especially is unable to supply the deficiency. It is further pointed out that there was a famine in Russia in 1891 and it Is added that famine at the present moment is threatening many districts of Russia.
 Watching the Philippines
 The officials of the German foreign of- flee at watching events in the Philippines in the closest manner possible. German subjects at Manila have already filed claims against the United States but the foreign office people say they must await the con- clusion of the war. It is said. however. that the German admiral commanding in the far east has been empowered in case of riots at Manila to land troops to protect the German consulate and German resi- dents of that place.
