BOYCOTTING
OUR FRUIT
Hict Against Importation
: Into Germany.
ON. A SANITARY PRETEXT.
Ambassador White Makes Very
Strong Protest
0N.A SANITARY PRETEXT.
OPINIONS OF CONGRESSmEN.

Berlin. Feb. s7-The Prussian minister
OF finance. DR.. Miguel. issued "a decree
yesterday. which goes into effect i'm
mediately, prohibiting the importation
OF every kind OF American fresh fruit.
The decree has been sent to all the Ger
man ports and frontier stations, ex-
cepting Bavaria, SaXony and Wurtem-
burg
The United States embassy was not
previously warned and the United
States ambassador, Andrew ID. White.
sent formal letter to the foreign Office
inquiring upon what authority this in
imical step was taken.
The United states consul at Ham
burg, DR.. Hugh Pitcairn. telegraphs that
1900 barrels of apples have been for
bidden to be unloaded. and that two
trains filed with American fruit have
also been forbidden TO cross the from
tier at Emmerich. which. aside from
Hamburg, is. the principal port Of entry
for American fruit.
On receipt of this news Mr. White sent
a second and stronger remonstrance 10
the foreign office. containing informa-
tion OF the evident violation OF the treaty.
At the foreign Office It was learned that
the entry OF American fruit is prohibited
on a sanitary pretext, II being claimed
that vermin In the fruit from California
ant other places threatens to infect
German trees and fruit.
The decision has caused THE greatest
surprise and considerable dissatisfaction.
for American apples had rapidly taken
the German markets by storm owing 70
their chespness and fine quality. and the
poor conylmers cannot afford TO buy
equally fine French or Italian fruits.
Furthermore. It VIII be severe blow TO
commerce and shipping. The degree
ony permits importation on condition
that the fruit is exported to England.
The Berlin National Zeitung defends the
prohibition of danger such as phylloxera
exists. II declares. nevertheless. that
promises to the agricultural population
OF all manner % blessings from the legal
and administrative enhancement OF the
prices OF provisions are not calculated
10 induce them TO make efforts which
would be equally useful to consumers
and agricuitur1sts alike
