BERLIN. Nov. 12.-It is understood
| in diplomatic circles here that SPAIN
| after the conclusion of a treaty OF peace
with the United States, will try to DIS
| pose of her few remaining colonles'
| notably the Mariana Islands, the Car
| oline Islands and Pala Islands, ana II
is reported that the Spanish Govern
| ment has already cautiously ap-
preached Germany for the purpose or
ascertaining how much those groups
would be worth to Germany. Inc oHl-
| Gals 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 Australian possessions,
but they give no inkling as to their lne
tentions 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 specuiations,
especially in view Of the statement that
| the Queen Regent of Spain has decided
| to send the Duke of Sotomayor with an
| autograph letter to Cartagena inviting
| the German Emperor to visit Madrid
and TO rejoin the imperial yacht Hohen-
| zolIern later at CadiZ. Such an invita-
ton. however, could only be made, in
accordance with court etiquette, If it's
acceptance had been previously Sc
cured, and it is certain that up to the
| present the acceptance has not been
| obtained. On the contrary, while 1t Is
| evident that Spain is keenly DESTROYS
that the Emperor should visit Madrid,
| and, in fact, attempts are ALREADY be-
| ing made to make capital out or thu,
| fact that he will visit Spain, the For
eign Office here is doing everything to
throw cold water on the idea that his
| Majesty has any political end in view
| in touching at 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 En-
peror to the Spanish ports while the
peace negotiations are still uncon-
cluded.
1t has now become known that En-
peror William, among other objects in
view, desired to utilize his trip to Jeru-
salem and reunite German Protestant
| ism, now split into a score Of factions.

and establish his Office of Summus
Episcopus, now held merely over the
Evangelical 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 En-
peror's wishes. This abortive idea of
his Majesty, 1t appears, was responsible
for the fact that none of the relgn1ng
German Princes was willing to accom-
pany him to Palestine, although they
so far yielded as to send in behalf OF
each of them an authorized represen-
tative of the state church. The En-
peror, however, still cherishes the hope
that his scheme will eventually be re-
allied, and he has frequently reverted
to 1t during his trip. In his dispatch TO
the Grand Duke of Baden his Majesty
went to the extent of speaking OF the
Evangelical Church of the country
which really has no existence.
Emperor William, before leaving Da-
mascus, made a speech in which he ex-
allied Saladin as one OF the most
knightly rulers of all ages and begged
Sultan Abdul Hamid and his three
hundred million followers to accept the
assurance that he, the Emperor, would
always be their friend. His Majesty
also commanded his military attache to
lay a wreath. on Saladin's sepulchre,
inscribed: ITO the memory Of a brave
and knightly Sultan"
