IN FEAR OF AMERICA.
European Powers Dared Not Interior
in Philippine Matters.

European Powers Dared Not Interfere
in Philippine Matters.
Berlin, Dec. 1.-The Cologne Ga
zette says: international envy has
prevented Europe from opposing the
excessive demands of the United States
upon Spain. Although they might
have profted by the situation. the pow
ers feared to make bitter enemy of
America, with the consequent closing
Of her markets, if they opposed the an
nexation of the Philippines.
Other German papers argue that
the United States would never have
dared to impose such conditions had
it not been for England's support.
This conviction of the Anglo American
agreemnet, giving the two powers the
virtue Of control of the "far Eastern
question:" intensified the situation.
Il is believed Great Britain will get
Chusan as compensation and both Eng
land and America are suspected of hav-
ing some disagreeable surprise in store.
