BERLIN, April 21.-Proressor Brumen-
tritt, leading Viennese scholar and poll
tician, said to the New York World cor
\ respondent:
THE sympathies of Europe with Spain
do not express admiration of her colonial
administration, bur are rather the In
stinctive expression of a presentiment
that the victory of America will be the
beginning of Americanizing European in
stitutions.
"Pan-Americanism is not sentiment
entertained by scholars and enthusiasts,
as pan-Slavism is, but a careful calcu-
lated affair, resting on self interest, hav-
ing for its object business and business
alone. Already the republics of America
have fallen under the influence of United
States capital.
Il cannot account for the friendly at
titude of England. If England would
only rejoin the rest of the powers in SYM
pathy with Spain, something might be
done to check the American project"
In conversation with an eminent and
widely known German publicist the World
correspondent asked him what he though;
of the situation, and If he was of the
opinion that England and the United
States would be drawn close together.
Yes, most emphaticaly So" he re-
piled, that will be a combination which
will be invincible.
Europe is settling down under Russian
rule or under Russian influence in her
methods of government. Freedom will be
represented by England, the United
and Autocracy and militarism by the rest
of Europe.

States nearer and will help to divide the
world into the two great camps which /

Low Motives Assigned
NEW YORK. April 21-A dispatch to
the World from Berlin says: On the eve
of the outbreak of war several of the
leading papers here surpass themselves in
mputing to America the lowest motives
in forcing on hostilities. Nothing is too
good to be said of the concessions which
Spain has offered and of her heroic dig.
nifty in her hour of trial; nothing is too
severe to be said of American provocation
and boasting.
The military newspapers are inclined to
think that although Americas mex
haustible riches will eventually tell in the
conflict, she must be prepared to suffer
enormous losses and reverses in the COM
mencement, as Spanish seamen, they say
far surpass those Of the United States.
The feeling is very bitter here.
No Reply Coming
MADRID, April 81, II: rs a. H. The news
papers here today applaud 1.-The energy Of
the government and the enthusiasm of the
public at the advent of war"
The Liberal says: "The government will
make no reply whatever to the ultima
tum."
Continuing, the Liberal points out the
advantages which Spain may derive of
the use of privateers, in which connection,
however. nothing has yet been officially
decided.
No Ennobling Feature
BERLIN, April 21.-The Vossische Zei-
tung, though acknowledging the tragic
guilt of Spain," maintains that the United
States is morally still culpable by 'nour-
ishing the rebels for years and by finally
employing the Maine disaster as the mere
pretext" and adopting violent measures.
