GERMANS AT MANILA.

Revival of the story of Their Ap-
parently Unfriendly Acts.
VANCOUVER, Aug. 10.-A Manila
letter, dated July 10, brought here by
the steamer Empress OF Japan today,
is as follows:
There Is great friction here between
Americans and Germans. The latter
are helping the Spaniards in the most
open manner. Dewey has told them
that if this continues there will be war
between the two nations.
1--WE have come to the conclusion that
the Germans do not want to help
Spain, as they cannot afford to. They
have not a sufficiently strong navy.
They wish merely to obtain few pick
ings after it is all over here.
"Spaniards looked up to them at the
beginning as their deIiverers, but their
opinion has changed, and Germany is
not very popular at this place.

at Santiago de Cuba. has just died at Kings
ton, Jamaica, in the ffty-eighth year of his
age. He leaves a wife, three daughters and
four sons. One Of the latter Is British vice
consul at Manila. Mr.. Ramsden's services
throughout the war, his efforts to bring about
the surrender of Santiago with view to

American people who will regret his demise.
