change in the feeling in Germany In r.
gard to the war between Spain and 80
United States. The government scrt2-
ulously avoids expressing its Views

tiago de Cuba amounted to "another 4-

patches supporting this contention.

to charge the Americans with cowardlce
for not attacking the Spaniards WHOM
until recently the Americans regard /
as foes unworthy Of their steel" 4
