They Expect the German Government Will

Special Gable Despatch to THE Sun.
BERLIN. JAM. 3l.-The Conservatives and
Agrarians are elated over a declaration made by
Baron Won Hammerstein-Loxten, Prussian Min
lister of Agriculture. respecting the regulation
of the commercial and economic relations with
foreign countries.
The Minister said that the Government had
resolved carefully and seriously TO consider the
subject, adding that the interests OF aRricul.
ture can and must be better cared for In future
negotiations"
This is construed to mean that 1t is the inten-
tlon Of the Government to raise tho duties on
grain. which is the goal of the Agrarians' long
deferred hopes. 1t ia an absolutely safe bid for
support OF the Government In tho coming
Reichstag and Landtag elections. 1t will weld
the conservative groups, and is likely to insure
the success OF tho naval and other imperial
schemes.

Announcement Made by the United states
l. Received with Pleasure by
Countries Concerned.

Washington, April 29-There are
strong indications that II the Spanish
government persists in the announced
policy Of commissioning priyateors to
prey on commerce, effective influences
will he brought to bear upon her by SOW
eral Of the great commercial powers,
particularly Great Britain and Ger
many, to stop this priyatcering or to
make it practically ineffective aud
harmless.
The action Of the United States gov
eminent in declaring that IL would not
resort to priyateering has been received
with great satisfaction in the foreign
embassies and legations here. Negotia-
tions along this line have been pending
for some time and also at Madrid by
Great Britain to prevent privateering,
Whether this will be conceded by Spain
Is doubtful, rs her chief reliance foI
protracting war is through commits
sioning priva,eers to harrass American
merchant ships or neutral ships carry
ing American goods. But 1t has devel
oped that this course by Spain, whil'
nominally directed against the Unit
States, would operate much moro injuri
ously against the shipping Of Grea
Britain, Germany and the other com
mercial powers, as the bulk of com
merce to and from this country Is car
ried In foreign ships.

Hendaye, Spanish Frontier, April a.
General Stewart l.. woodfori, United

safety, after some exciting experiences.
The Spanish police attempted to capture
a naturalizcd spaniard, member OF the

Moreno was a member Of the United

ish police for capture ON the ground that
he was a subject Of Spain, but the at
tempt was frustrated owing to the pres
ence Of mind of Minister wooiford.
At valladolli the train was attacked
and stoned. The windows were broken
and the civil guards compelled to pro

General woodford, however, slep'
