AGAINST AMERICAN FRUITS.
Prussian Minister Of Finance Issues Pro
hibitOry Decree.

hibitOry Decree.
BERLIN, Feb. 3.-The Prussian min
lister of finance has issued decree pro-
hibiting the importation of every kind
of American fresh fruit on the ground
that California and other vcrmin
threaten the German trees and fruit.
Sixteen thousand barrels of apples
were forbidden to be unloaded at Ham
burgl and two train loads of Ameri-
can fruit were forbidden to cross the
frontier at Emerich. United States
Ambassador White has sent an ener-
getic protest to the foreign office.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Further adj
vices have been received from Ambas.:
sador White as to the nature of the de-
cree excluding American fruits from
Germany. The important facts that
were established by the last advices
were: First-That the decree of ex-
clusion uses the word "American," as
descriptive of the place of origin of the
fruit, which would seem to include
Canadian fruit without question.
Secondhand the decree instead OF
applying only to fresh fruit, as was at
first supposed, includes in the prohibit
ton all dried fruits from America. 1t
is gathered that the basis of the decree,
or rather the reason officially to be set
out by the Prussian government for the
exclusion, is that some shipments of
American apples, coming from Cali
fornia, have been discovered to be
affected with the disease known
as the San Jose scale, but just
how German apples are endangered,
even if this fact should be
established, is not made plain.
State department officials have not
yet recovered from their surprise at the
method adopted by the German gov
eminent of accomplishing its object
in this matter, and undoubtedly the
correspondence to follow will set this
out very clearly. 1t is said to be en-
tirely without precedent, and discount
eous toward the American ambassador
at Berlin, to make the decree and put
it into effect without the slightest
warning to him and stopping all fruit
in transit, thereby working a great in
justice to shippers.
