William II Friendly. 49,
President Mckinley has received a
message from Emperor William Of Ger
many which is understood to be of a
highly gratifying character, in view OF
the disquieting rumors of German &C
ton at Manila. The message was COM
municated to the president last Fri
day by the German ambassador. It
was read to the cabinet. and was con-
sidered to be of such Importance that
its tenor has been guarded with UNI
usual care. All that is known Of it is
that it was satisfactory nd leaves the
impression that the situation at Manila,
as far as the Germans are concerned,
may be left to Admiral Won Diedrichs
and Admiral Dewey, without the ne
cessity Of the German or the United
States governments taking up the case
in mutual representations.

Washingt on,.July Is. With the week
just closed the United States saw the
end Of the third month Of the war with
Spain and the responsible officials,
from the president down to the lowest
employe who has to do with shaping
the course Of events, feel nothing but
satisfaction at the progress made.
An army OF 250,0Oo men has been mobi-
lied, armed and equipped and much
OF it has seen service. The battles pre-
ceding the capture of Santiago have
been remarkable in many respects,
and in the opinion of military experts
have covered the United States army
engaged with imperishable glory.
Modern warfare of type developed
IN these engagements was absolutely
new and untried not only to the United
States army but to the world. =. II.
No such charge is recorded in his
tory as that made upon the stone fort
and the blockhouses browning the
hills of FL Caney. There have been en-
gagements between trained troops
and savage races in the jungles of In
dia and on the hills of South Africa of
late years that conveyed in a slight
manner the possibilities of modern
weapons. But these battles fought by
the Fifth army corps have been the
first in which large bodies of troops
OF civilized nations on both sides have
been engaged with all the implements
OF modern warfare, and the result is
bound to be highly Instructive to the
military student and to extort admira-
ton for the splendid fighting qualities
OF the United States soldiers from the
most unwilling critics.
