The Situation at Manila.

The intimacy between the officers OF
the German fleet and the Spaniards at
Manila, which has reached the point
where courteous civilties leave off and
chummy familiarity begins, is giving
the situation a rather ominous look.
There seems to be no doubt that the
Germans are trying to have the insur-
gents commit some overt act against
them so that they may claim an excuse
for giving the Spaniards substantial
assistance. They may or may not
have orders from Berlin to make them
selves as offensive as possible to the
Americans, but it does not seem possi-
BILE that German naval officers would
violate International comfy and out
rage the code of discipline oftheir own
war establishment upon their own re-
sponsibility. The Spaniards of Madrid
evidently feel that German sympathy
with them is very much more than a

will be sought for an excuse to antag-
ouize the Americans.
Admiral Dewey is so severely firm
that no open conflict may occur. Upon
their return from a Spanish picnic
given in their honor the other day,
the officers of the German warship
Irene volunteered to let wounded Span
ish soldiers go to the German hospital
ship, but Admiral Dewey said mo"
with so much emphasis that the
project was promptly abandoned. All
these little things amount to a good
deal in showing the way the German
wind is blowing.
1t is pretty evident that England
thinks the situation at Manila is be-
coming greatly strained. The London
Spectator, perhaps the leading politi-
cal weekly of England, while protest
ing that the German fleet at Manila is
there for ''friendly observation" says:
Would it not be expedieut, however,
to send couple of cruisers to Manila
to join in friendly observations and to
reinforce Dewey If attacked?" This is
strong language, and might easily be
construed into warning to Germany,
for Germany is the only power from
which an attack would be likely to
come Certaily Dewey is in no danger
of an attack from Spanish warships or
from the Manila land forces. 1t is to
be hoped that the officers OF the Irene

Why England Wants the Gold Stand
ard,

We publish below an extract from a
letter by Moreton Frewen to the
Washington Post, showing that Eng
land buys of US over 5000, 900, 900 of
our commodities. mostly farm prod
ucts, and sells to US only about $780,
900, 900 of her commodities. England
Is interested in buying our products as
cheaply as possible, because she does
not buy them by an exchange of her
commodities, but with the money
which we pay her for interest. Eng
land is a creditor nation. The United
States is a debtor nation. England's 5
income is largely derived from interest
on American securities. The money
received for interest on these securities
has more than doubled the purchasing
power which it had before silver was
demonetized; consequently it takes
twice as much of our products to pay
our debts to England as it would if the
minus udu iGualuCo upon W SAAFCL' IL
other words, England gets twice as
much of our commodities for the mon
ey we owe her as she would have re-
ceived if the currency had not been
manipulated. Here is the extract:
If you turn to the figures of Anglo
American trade. published in the
.StatiSt of May %, you will find figures
of most portentous significance. Brief
Iy stated, during the twelve months,
to May, 1898, you sold to Great Britain
produce to the amount of $3.50, 900, 900,
while your purchases were less than
$50, ,0O0,O 900. Out of twelve hundred
million dollars your total exports, we
bought more than One-half. Ia other
words, you sold more to forty millions
of people than you sold to the remain
ing fourteen hundred millions. This
trade record is extraordinary, and |
have little doubt but that we have ov-
erpurchased, and that period of trade
depression here is not far ahead. But
taking the figures as they stand, they
are most significant. For, if the Unit
ed States are to be the target for
serious foreign combination, how are
our people to be fed aud clothed? If,
on the other hand. England is to be
the target. what will become of your
export trade? Surely the industrious
classes in your country who pay their
debts by sales of their produce, would
be engulfed in a general insolvency.
From this point of view the invasion
of England would be hardly less disas-
trous to you, than if an enemy were
upon the soil of your re-
public. -Sarer Knight Watchman.

THE AMBASSADORS

OF Five Great Powers Advise Spain to G'ye
Extreme Concessions to the United
states.
NEW YORK, April "a dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
The ambassadors of five great Eu-
ropean powers-France, Russia, Italy,
Germany and Austria - have diplo-
matically informed the government of
Spain that war with the United States
can only be avoided, in their judg-
ment, by Spain yielding.
The ambassadors of Europe have
advised extreme concessions to the
United States. They appealed to
Spain's pride, noble self-sacrifce and
self-interest. They meant that she
must abandon Cuba
The ambassadors of the same powers
called upon President Mckinley in
Washington, in the interests of peace
as a matter of form. There was posi-
bly, no expectation, no hope, that the
United States would recede one inch
from its one vital demand-that Spain
must give up Cuba.
But the powers may have felt that as
they were about to use coercion in
Madrid it would be diplomatic to make
demonstration in Washington at the
same time.
| There is reason to believe that the
powers have made extraordinary
propositions to Spain. They have said
in effect that if she should make such
concession to the United States as
they believed to be necessary, the
powers of Europe would guarantee hel
against war, both external and in
| ternaL
The powers would delegate to one O.
their own number, Austria, whose
throne is closely allied to that of Spair
by ties of blood, the duty of defend
ing Spain against any internel foes
that might arise, as a menace to the
dynasty, as a result of yielding to the
demands of the United States.
In plain English this means tina
Austrian troops would, If necessary
be sent to Spain to maintain order an,
to suppress civil war. The Austrian
troops would have behind them tn
allied moral and physical forces O
Europe.
The papal nuncio, who has been re
peatedly to the palace in the last Q
hours, is believed to be in sympath
with this programme.
