Candidacy for Reelection.

After the Conclusion Of the Treaty Of Peace
With the United States.
Germany Already Cautiously APP
preached for the Purpose OF AS
certaining How Much the Ma
rianao, Caroline and Pala
Groups Would be Worth to the
Kaiser's Government.

copyrighted, 1898. by Associated Press0
BERLIN. Nov. 12.-It is asserted in
diplomatic circles here that Spain, after
the conclusion of treaty of peace with
the United States, will try to dispose of
her few remaining colonies, notably the
Marianao Islands, the Caroline Islands
and the Pala Islands, and it is reported
that the Spanish Government has al
ready cautiously approached Germany
for the purpose of ascertaining how
much those groups would be worth to
Germany The officials of the Foreign
Office here admit that the acquisition
Of those Spanish colonies would be OF
considerable value to Germany, in view
of their proximity to Germany's Aus
tralasian possessions, but they give no
inkling as to their intentions in the
matter.
The announcement that Emperor
William will call at Spanish ports on
his way from the Holy Land has given
rise to all sorts of political speculations.
The Foreign Office here is doing every
thing to throw cold water on the idea
that his majesty had any political end
in view in touching at the Spanish
ports The Foreign Office appears to be
anxious to avoid any steps calculated
to wound public feeling in the United
States, which it is fully recognized here
would resent a visit of the Emperor to
the Spanish ports while the peace nego-
tions are still unconcluded.
1t has now become known that En-
peror William, among other objects in
view, desired to utilize his trip to Je-
111c lam to yza11nffo GaYy,o pYof or r
ism, now split into a score of factions,
and establish his office of samnus epis-
copus, now held merely over the Evan
gelical Church of Prussia. over the
whole of Protestant Germany. Before
starting for Palestine the Emperor
thoroughly discussed the idea with the
highest dignitaries of the Prussian
Church.
The Emperor firmly believed he could
realize his plan, but nevertheless the
project utterly miscarried,. The Grand
Duke of Baden represented to the En-
peror that existing circumstances made
it impossible for the other Protestant
Princes of Germany to yield to the
Emperor's wishes.
The net result of the Ernperor's step
in this direction thus far have only been
to arouse resentment on the part of the
Princes, because the carrying out OF
his plan would be tantamount to fur
ther serious curtailment of the sover-
eign rights of the smaller German
rulers. Several formal written replies
which his majesty has received from
German Protestant rulers point out this
fact and the Grand Duke of Sake Wei
mar did so in especially severe terms.

When he had "moseyed" around town,
looking at the wonderful two-story

he went out to the railroad station to
take ride on a train, determined to
risk his life. if necessary, to enjoy the
novelty of the thing.
He walked up to the station waiting
room door, which was closed, and
knocked. OF course, no one gave him
any heed. He waited a while, then
knocked again. Still no one answered
him. An hour or more passed in this
way; then a policeman came along and,
