nothing is known OF any negotiations
or communications whatever between
the United States and other govern
ments relative to any Spanish colo
nies,' said Mr.. Andrew d. White, the
united States ambassador, in an in
terview with the correspondent of the
associated Press. Besides" continued
MIR. White, "there has been no ques-
ton at any time between this embassy
and the German foreign office relative
to the German desire for coaling
station in the Philippines, nor for pos
session of any of the islands there;

States than the week before, and the
latest developments in the war have

in rather sarcastic terms. The liberal
press, though, has adopted, generally |
Speaking, a fair and more neutral tone. |
The Vossiche zeitung printed an
EDITORIAL in which it admitted that it
wished the United States immediate |
success, and referred to the ''unbroken 4
friendship $xisting for so many years |
between tn two countries /
