Against the Help England Gives
10 the United States.

LONDON, July a--The unanimity with
which the English newspapers have been
prais:ng the United States Of late is again
disturbed by the snariing editor OF the
Morning Post, which newspaper. in addi-
ton. prints a letter protesting against
Great Britain's help to America" and
declaring that 1t should be known that
at the critical turning point in the strug-
gle between Spain and the United States
that ii is Great Britain that Is influencing
and determining the issue.
The letter also declares that on Sunday
last in Washington. the day after Col.
John Hay. the United States ambassador,
had had long interview with the pre-
mier, the Marquis Of Salisbury, Mr.. Long.
American secretary of the navy. boastea
that Admiral Camara's fleet would not oe
allowed to pass through the canal.
III, the letter continues the position
of the American forces in the Pacific is
considered OF importance. this decision VIII
at once become manifest. Four unarInor-
ed cruisers lie in Manila bay after two
months of inactivity in tropical waters
and desperately short OF ammunition and
coal. In the meanwhile, three small mill
tary expeditions which left San Francisco
are struggling across. An active com
mander with q force such as Admiral
Canara has, would. OF course. have the
whole American position in Manila at MS
mercy. The government is aware OF this
and when IL found threats of an imme-
date attack upon the Spanish coast were
unsuccessful. appealed to the British to
stop Camara's fleet
The special correspondent OF the Times

ed at conference between Secretary Dag
and DR.. Volleben, German ambassador at
Washington.
The Cologne Gazette says:
Admiral Won Diedrich requires no in
structions in regard to what he is TO dc

interfere so as TO obstruct or promote the
enterprise OF either OF the belligerents
neither Admiral Dewey nor Secretary
Day is competent to give any direc-
tons whatever. In like manner. the Ger

In the measures which Spain or America
may adopt for the maintenance OF theis
interests in the Philippines"
The Lokal Anzeiger says.
"A German admiral knows quite well In
what fashion he has to maintain and pro
tect the interests OF his countrymen. H.
would most energeticaiiy resist any at

the proper answer 10 the prescriptions o.

The Cologne Gazette says:
Further than that the phantoms o.
American imaginations are beginning 10
be positivelcy ridiculous. We have not toe
siightes: intention of exciting ourselves
over the perhdious destinations against
Germany which the New York and
Washington press unfortunately adopt
from London. We leave 1t TO the course

Of themselves and bring them to reason.
