RELATIONS WITH GERMANY.
Ambassador White Says that Country Is
Not Hostile to the United States
\ just Ambition.

BERLIN. Aug.1T.-Mr. Andrew White,
.he United states ambassador. before
starting, at moo yesterday, for HON
burg. where he will take the waters,
said t. a correspondent:
so far as | can see, the state of
things between Germany and the
United States remains satisfactory.
Throughout the "a the German gov
ernment has treated us fairly, and, so
far from seeing any cause for com
plant on our part, it seems to me that
the fairness of the governments atti-
titudc requires recognition.
with regard to their sending forces
to the PHILIPPINES, hat matter has
already been fully cleared up. There
was nothing whatever in it to show i'll
will toward the United States nor was
there any purpose to interfere with
our operations.
with regard to Germans reaching
after colonies or centerS of influence
in the far east, | have never hesitated
to avow myself as heartily in favor of
such undertakings. | regard every
establishment of such spheres of inf1u-
ence by great civilizing powers, if
they feel they can administer them
without injury to their people, as a
benefit to the world at large.
Every part of the barbaric world
brought into touch with civilization
by an enlightened power like Germany
is a clear gain not only to Germany
lint IN the United States and tn all
civilized powers.
Il rejoice in the return of peace and
believe hat the conduct of the war
with such vigor. considering Americas
appropriateness and the deeds of hero
ism that marked it will do much to
bring back the old German feelings of
respect Tor the United States. 4 large
proportion of the Germans had come to
regard the scum thrown to the surface
during the ebullition of American So
cicty as the entire contents of the
p1uldrOD ."

party in this country, have arrived

CHICAGO, Aug. ia special to the
Chicago Record from Washington says:
The navy department will ask con-
gress to authorize the construction OF
the largest and most formidable battle
ships and cruisers afloat, vessels with
out equals in any foreign fleets and in
co~mparably superior in offensive power,
speed and endurance to any of the
magnificent ships which a few weeks
ago destroyed Cervera's squadron
Decision Will be Urged Upon Congress.
This decision, reached at a meeting
of the naval board of construction,
will be urged upon congress for prompt
action, supported by arguments of the
most convincing character. The sub
ject was taken up at the direction of
Secretary Long, who desired to have a
building programme thoroughly con-
sidered and agreed upon by the high
est technical experts in the service for
presentation to the Legislative branch
of the government in December.
The Board Will Begin the Designs.
The board practically agreed to be-
gin the ucSlSn Oh three OdIIieSnIpS Ol
between $1,000 and $4,000 ions dispIace-
ment, with at least 10 knots main
tanned speed. 1t was also determined
to recommend three frst-class cruisers
of about -, 900 tons and OF not less than
% knots speed.
In addition to these, a class of pro-
tected and partly armored cruisers of
between 5000 and 5000 tons, as well as
q new class of . ,5OO-ton cruisers.
Calculated to Whip Anything Afioat.
The battleships will be designed to
whip any fighting vessels in the world,
of whatever class, and the cruisers are
to be more formidable than n vessels
of their speed up to this time in Eu-
rope.
The board made no reference to tor
pedo boats, and is not disposed to
recommend any further increase of the
81 vessels of that type now built or
authorized.
