stood thar assuranco' have been given
uy the German government that tho
visit Of Emperor William of Germany
20 Spain is entirely devoid Of official
character or significance that the Off.
c.al "trip Of the imperial party ended
when they left Pnesine, and that tho
proposed siop at Cldiz and Cariagena IL
largely health preoaution in behalf Of
the empress, as the sea trip would be
long aud ariuous n unbrokcn by these
stops AZ these Spanish por;s.
The assurances appear 10 b. voluntary
ou the part of the Berlin officials and 20
b. In line with the Gaze taken In that
quarter of late 20 minimize and remove
the bad impression caused by several In.
cidents occurring during the recent war.
The state department has not, as far
as known, taktn cognizanoe OF the EN-.
peror's movements, and certainly there
was no purpose Of inquiring as TO the
stop at Spain, although this action by
the emperor was loosei upon as rather
inopportune. 70 say the least. when the
peace negotiations with Spain are at a
critical juno.uro aud when technically
the war is sflll in progress
Al the same time Germany has con.
sianily reiterated her neutrality and
friendly act udo and the emperor has
taken occasion in his last address to the
rcichsiag to give strong expression 90
the German purpose TO maintain the
stFictcst impartiality between this gov.
ernment ant Spain. At the same time
the officials here and IN Berlin have roc.
ognized that a strong public sentiment
Of animosity was being developed b..
tween the people of the two countries
and steps have been taken 10 Offset this
as far a. possible The last move In that
direction was At recent dinner given hy
Chancellor Won Buolow AZ Berlin 70
Andrew ID White, the United States
ambassador, and Dr. Won Hollcbsn, the
German ambassador TO the United
States, now visiting IN Germany.
IL Is recognized, however. among Off.
o.als, state and diplomatic, that while
official sentiment is satisfactory, there
continues 10 be an undcrcnrrent OF IN
foeling with the public and press OF the
two countries. For this reason the pres.
crt move of the emperor In stopping at
the Spanish ports causes something of A
shock in diplomatic quarters, as IL Is
felt 70 b. one more obstacle In the WAY
Of the happy rapproachemrnt which was
being executed by the authorities here
and AZ Berlin. IL is with n view 10 min.
imizlng the visit that assurances are
now communicated as TO the non.oslcial
character.
The suggestion that the emperor may
be asked by Spain 10 ac, A. arbitrator 10.
tween tho United States aud Spain in
case the Philippine island issuo becomes
acute, is dismissed as absurd, on the
ground that no such plan would be con.
sidered for moment unless both coun.
tries joined ma request FOR IL.
Tho arrival OF the emperor az CidiE
aud Cariagcna Is awaited with considc-.
able apprehension by the German au.
thoritles, as sit may give rise TO a Spanish
popular demonstration open to miscon.
struction IN this country, With a view
20 aycrting such an affair the German
charge d'aifaircs at Madrid has been in.
strucied 70 notify the Spanish govern.
ment Of tho strictly unofficial character
OF the cmpcror's visit.
