German Hatred.
New York, April 23--The belief that
Spain will not give up her original plans
i'll regard to privateering is gaining
ground in official circles in Germany, says
the Berlin correspondent of the World.
The admiralty is considering the adyisa-
bility of sending IA Warship to West In
dian waters to safeguard German inter
ests.
The most foolish attempts are being
made by newspapers actively hostile to
America to point ont the alleged danger
threatening the United States from the
attitude of the Iatn-American republics.
According to Bismarck's chief organ IN
Berlin, it would appear that Mexico and
the South and Central American states
are getting ready to fly at the throat OF
the United States. These same papers
are also making violent efforts to prove
that the Spanish sea force is quite equal
to that of the United States and that
many surprises are in store for the Amer
lean navy.
