ents out of the fruits of victory by such
an arrangement, but when they try it
on the United States they will learn that
they are not dealing with Greece or
Turkey, non disposing of Egypt. The
people of America are not lovers of war
and in the past have allowed many in
suits to pass unnoticed in order to avoid
trouble, but when the war with Spain is
ended they will not be in a humor to
allow any interference in the terms of
settlement or the disposition of the
islands taken. If Germany, France and
Russia want an interesting introduction
to American warships and soldiers, all
that they will have to do to get it will be
to insist on trying to steal a part of the
Philippine islands.

Germans Peculiar Actions.

As the days pass the rumors of for
eign interference in the Philippine ques-
ton increase. 1t is a rare day that
does not bring out some new arrange
ment for disposing of that archipelago
by the European powers after the
United States has driven out the Span
iards. What foundation exists for these
various reports, no one knows, but
the probabilities are there is zone what.
ever.
However, the situation in Manila bay
at the present time is this: Germany
has five warships there, England four
and japan one. The attitude of Great
Britain and Japan toward this country
is such that there are no fears of trou-
bic from those governments. What
Germany is up to cannot be told. The
reason given by the Germans for the
presence of sc many ships and marines
at Manila is that they are there to pro-
tect German interests.
For a time that was accepted as a
satisfactory explanation, but investiga-
ton has brought out the fact that there
are only IA German and Swiss merchants
in the entire Philippine group, and
these merchants represent all the inter-
ests Germany has in the islands. On
the other hand the German government
has been p%rofuse in its professions of
f%riendliness for the United States, and
has assured the administration at Wash
ington that any steps taken by this
country in regard to the occupation of
the islands will be satisfactory to the
emperor. Germany has been guilty of
duplicity in her dealings with other ma
tions in the past, and it is possible that
she is contemplating some %treachcry
now. 1t is reported from the east that
Admiral Dewey has informed the com
manders Of foreign fleets in the Manila
harbor that he has no objection to their

sented to the congress and agreed that
mitted for consideration of the powers.
Germany then, acting on the suggeS-
ton of Austria, invited the powers to a
congress ON June IS, 1898. The invita-
ton was accepted by Germany, Great
Britain, Austria. Russia, France, Italy
and Turkey. and on June Is the con-
gresS vas organized by the election of
Prince Bismarck as president. The
congress was in session one month and
resulted in the following decision re-
garding the countries affected by the st.
Stefano treaty between Russia and
Turkey:
The formation of an independent Bull
garia extending from the Danube to the
balkans. with an elective prince and an
army of its own, and with a control of
all the Notifications; in the region south
of the Balkins, Eastern Roumelia was
established, to be governed by the sui
tan and powers jointly; Austria was en-
trusted with the occupany of Bosnia and
Herzegovina: Servia received independ-
ence with territorial extension; Monten-
egro was given an increase of territory
and access to the sea. When the Greek
question was touched the congress linz
tied itself to passing a resolution recon-
mending an extension of territory, in
viting the Porte to come to an UNDER
standing with the Greek government in
regard to the frontiers and rendering
the good offices of the powers in case of
any disagreement. The Dardanelles
were restored to their condition before
the war; the stability and ultimate in
dependence of the north Turkish prov
inceS were secured; Russia was required
to destroy her Notifications at Batum;
Turkey was required to reform her gov
eminent, and Great Britain was estab-
lished in Cyprus and assumed virtual
control of the eastern Mediterranean.
At the final sitting of the congress it
was determined that each power should
watch over the execution of the clauses
agreed upon affecting itself, and should
be at liberty to address the Porte such
personal observations as it might deem
advisable.

A Word to Some Of New Mexico's Citizens.

The New MEXICAN. which has been
published in this city and territory for
IS years and more, is, as its record and
history prove, II true, tried and good
friend of the native citizens of the terri
tory of Spanish or Mexican descent.
There is no necessity of charging upon
this, as the facts in the ease and the
course of this paper bear this statement
out fully and uneqlivocally.
Therefore, the New MEXICAN takes
occasion to say to the people of this
territory. born within its confines and
of Mexican or Spanish descent, that
they are citizens of this great union and
have so been for 80 years. Taking this
into consideration and also remember
ing, that the people of this territory
enjoy the great privilege of living under
the best, most liberal and most Just
government the human race has ever
known, the New MEXICAN and other
friends of the class Of our citizens re-
ferred to above. is surprised that the
number of volunteers in the New Mex
leo quota from the citizens of this terri
tory above described. has been very
small and a cause of disappointment
and sorrow to New .MeXicO's patriotic
citizens and to friends elsewhere in this
country.
From reliable sources, it seems, this
state of affairs may partly be ascribed
to the Vaccinations and evil counsels OF
certain malevolent agitators and walk.
ing delegates. who for personal and
political ends, have made a propaganda
among the Spanish speaking citizens OF
the territory, advising them not to vol
%unteer, and spreading all sorts of lies
and evil reports, warning them that they
would be ill-treated, if they enlisted,
that they would be put where they
would be nothing but food for powder.
would be sacrificed and the like.
These stories are the rottenest and
sheerest of fabrications and lies, but il
seems that they had some effect all the
same. 1t is none too late to change. A
large proportion of the men of the bat
TALON of volunteer infantry to be enlist
ed during the coming week should con
sist of Spanish speaking, native born
citizens of this territory.
The New MEXICAN hopes and trusts,
for the good name of the territory, fol-
the sake of its future welfare and ad.
vancement and in order to show that oul
citizens of native extraction and OF
Spanish descent are loyal and true tC
this the greatest republic Oh earth and
to the glorious flag that floats over them
and under which they enjoy the utmost
liberty, freedom and prosperity, that a
suitable proportion of the volunteers tc
form the infantry battalion, now being
recruited, will be of the young men of
the class referred to, and that they will
take part in the war that this country is
now waging for humanity, for liberty
and justice to down-trodden people.

Congress Of Berlin.

The treaty, or as it is better known,
the congress of Berlin, to which refer
ence has been made as a precedent for
the settlement of the Philippine ques-
ton. was held in the months of June
and July. 1878 in the City of Berlin and
was the outgrowth of certain questions
arising from the result of the Russo
Turkish war of 1877. The occasion of
the congress was what was regarded us
the threatening attitude of Russia in
the east, in consequence of her victory
and the treaty of st. Stefano.
The general fear was that Russia had
acquired a preponderance of power owe
the northern Turkish provinces which
might ultimately threaten Constanti-
noplc and the approaches to the Black
sea. As this fear involved also the
question of the control of the mouth of
the Danube, the nation most directly
interested was Austria. But the in
terests of Great Britain, though more
Indirect, were not less positive and
important, inasmuch as, since the
treaty of Paris in 1856, that country
had maintained such relations with Tur-
key as enabled the British government
to have very large influence, and in
respects, even control over Turk
ish affairs. The initiative suggestion
for the congress was made by Austria,
and Berlin was chosen as the place of
meeting. Russia was at first opposed to
the arrangement us it certainly threat
ened to deprive her of some of the many
advantages gained in the war with Tur-
key, but that government finally con-

reports state, that but 1000 troops were
opposed to the American forces in the
engagements at Santiago during the

are not not great statesmen and the
Spanish commanders are not great
military men. but as liars of the first
