special says:
Too little attention has been paid to
the visit which MIR. Won Holleben, the
German ambassadors, made at the
white house last Friday. 1t was the
most importan. event in the diplo-
matte history of the var since the
Joint visit of the four ambassadors
last April, and has Il profound signiti-
canoe in connection with the attitude
OF Germany toward The Philippine is
lands and our policy in the east. There
has never been amy concern on Sic
part of the president and others in
authority about the interference OF
the Germans in our affairs, and nov
sEclr n thing is impossible. No ut
tempt is made on either side to con
ceal the fact that Mr.. Won Hoiicbcn
visited the president Tor the purpose
of presenting Il personal message
from his imperial highness. and while
the words have not been disclosed The
general character of shs message Was
entirely satisfactory.
When am Ambassador ii q foreign
country calls upon the ruler of tho
government to which he is accredited
it is always an event of Importance
and significance. it does not occur
very often. / do not nc.iere that any
ambassador called at the white house
Willie Mi. Cleveland was president,
nor while Mr.. Harrison occupied that
office, nor did President Mckinley re-
ceive any such distinguished VISITORS
until after the beginning of the WAR.
Tile German ambassador came all the
Way from New London With ,hH thor
n,omcter at 96 i'll the sliale on Friday,
and returned to his u1nnt home
after less than four houts i'll Washing
ton. lie took the trouble also to make
an appointment by telegraph i'll adj
vance. Mr.. Won llolieben mus l,acn in
this country more than a year. lie
has met the president repeatedly in
society, at white house dinners, ~
ceptions and other Official functiQns,
but never called upon him iii this Il&n-
ner before, nor would he haye made
a very disagreeable joac1esf This time
ii he had not been infrus!ea with s.
message from lie emperor OF Ger
many. ~ message from the prime
minister CT the minister of foreign re-
lations would have been delivered
through the secretary of state. The
president of the United States does
not receive communications from SUI
bordinutcs of other governments ex-
cept through n subordinate of his
own; only sovercigns send their COM
~munications direct. Hence the Ger
man ambassador could have gone to
the white house for no other purpose
than to convey nn expression OF
friendship and good will from the
kaiser. In view of recent incidents in
the Philippines and recent publica-
tions in Europe and the United States
the visit was very gratifying to the
president.
st. Louis. July 2s.-The Globe-Dem-
ocrat's Washington correspondent
says:
The visit of Tho German ambassador
significance than any of the published
Baron Won Holleben delivered to Pres
ident Mckinley a personal message
from the emperor of Germany. The
communication was of the most sat
.|isfactory character to this govern
ment. 1t related to the war, and con
veyed to the United States II crafty
ing declaration of Germany's position.
Previous communications had
passed through diplomatic channels
from Berlin to Washington, showing
that there was no basis for the repeat
ed reports of intervention intended by
Germany, but the emperor's action
goes further than anything hat has
heretofore passed. 1t has settled for
the war the attitude of Germany as
between the United Suites and Spain.
1t establishes a relationship which
may develop into results extremely
beneficial to the United States before
