Berlin, May 2S.-With few exceptions the German press continues its abuse of America, either outspokenly or by inuen- dos. The agrarian and liberal papers are deeply vlrulent, while the liberal and radl- cal papers do not disguise their dislike for the United States and attribute base and selfish motives for its action.
 Even leading German magazine, the Deutsche Rundschau, in its June number, joins in the general newspaper sentiment. An article in this magazine, written by Herr Von Brandt, formerly German minis- ter to China, on the subject of the Hispano- American war, winds up by dublously hop ing that "at the close of the war the United States will show something which their political course has often lacked, namely, respect for the rights and dignity of oth- CTS"
 The socialist press alone is friendly. The Vorwaerts, In an editorial article, believed to have been written by Herr Liebknecht, the socialist leader, and which has since been strongly criticised by other news papers, says, after describing the fears aroused in Europe by the abandonment of its policy of isolation by the United States:
 Their first movement produced a revo- lution in the markets of the world, and @ famine in decreplt Europe"
 Their first blow was a crushing naval defeat of an ancient monarchy which they forbid to continue the work of wholesale murder. One more defeat and that mon- archy falls, the dynasty is hunted out and republic is established. What strength and vigor are displayed and these with decrepit Europe has never thus far reck- oned. A new power is here''
 Spanish Flag Story
 The Spanish story in reeard to tIe American warships using the Sranish flar at Guantanamo affords to affect a surpri G. is generally disliked, even the Cologne Volks Zetung, otherwise hostile, saying: "The news is incredible. Such a piece of cunning cowardice the Americans cannot be guilty Of"
 Everywhere in Germany collections are being taken to aid the Spanish naval fund. The sum so far raised amounts to some 23,00O,O00 marks. The German admin atty will shortly dispatch the schoolships Moltke and Stosch to the West Indies for the protection of German citizens residing iR Central America
 Regarding the news that Spain has agreed to cede the Philippine islands to France, it Is said at the German foreign office that Germany has information that Pourparleurs looking to this end have been proceeding for some time, mainly through Senor Leon Castillo, the Spanish ann bassador at Paris, and that the negotia- tions have already reached a father definite shape
 On Wednesday last the o)assadors of Germany, France and Russia held an im- portant meeting at the foreign office in Madrid. When they were asked if the powers are ready to assist at intervention in Spain's behalf no definite answer was made except by the representative of Ger many, Count von Radowksi, who said: "At the present juncture, Germany has not joined in an attempt at intervention
 Thereupon Duke Almodar d Rio, the new Spanish minister for foreign affairs, eau tiously mentioned the negotiations with France already referred to. Germanys answer to this is found in semi-official communication published on Thursday last, setting forth that Germany was most vigorously protesting against the cession of the Philiprine Islands to France or any other single power, adding that cession to the combined powers of Europe would be much more acceptable.
 Project Has Been Dropped
 It is understood that this declaration had an effect in Spain and the whole pro- ject has been dropped at least for the present.
 The Spanish military agent is still here. It is he who effected the recent purchase in behalf of Spain of the North German steamer Havcl.
