ron BULoW,s SOLEMN STATEMENT.
German Government Never Had Any Re
lations Whatever With Dreyfus.

lations Whatever with Dreyfus.
Berlin, Jan. 24-The minister for for
eign affairs, Baron Won Bulow, made
a solemn statement to-day before the
budget committee of the reichstag in
regard to the Dreyfus affair. He de-
clared most emphatically that there
had never been relations of any kind
kind between German representatives
or agents and Dreyfus. Continuing,
the minister said the story of the waste
paper basket incident at the German
embassy in Paris, and the finding there
in of compromising documents affecting
Dreyfus was sheer invention. He add
ed that the Dreyfus affair had not af-
fected in the slightest the calm rela-
tions between the German and French
governments. The speaker knew moth
ing of the visit of Dreyfus to the
Reichsland and still less of the alleged
special facilities given Dreyfus by Ger
man officials during his alleged visit.
The baron prefaced his declaration by
saying he could only speak with ex-
treme caution, as otherwise his words
might be represented as interference in
French affairs and he thought that
there was more reason for enjoining
reserve since it might be expected that
light would be cast on the affair by the
proceedings initiated in France itself.

What Secretary of Cuban Junta Says of

Washington, Jan. 24.-Senor Quesda,
secretary of the Cuban junta, and Sc
nor Albertini of the Cuban staff in
Washington, were about the capitol
during the day comforting with men,
bers concerning the Cuban status, Mr.
Quesada said: 1.-THE sending of the
Maine to Cuba, whatever be the official
version, is in our opinion proof that
things are in such condition in the few
Spanish strongholds that anarchy
reigns and that American citizens and
property are unable to find protection
at the hands of the impotent Spanish
government and have now the protec-
ton of their own vessel. 1t is a dec
laration to the world that the United
States are not afraid of the Spanish
rabble which seems to control the Span
ish officials. The attitude of the Span
ish papers and officials have been such
that the presence of an American war
ship in Havana means Intervention;
undoubtedly they will now say that it is
the most natural thing for any nation
to send it's vessels to the ports of a
friendly power and Mr.. DeLome will
declare that his government is delight

great political contest for the control

The Importance of this contest should
not be underestimated. A partial vic

those who in the last presidential CAM

government upon a platform of disorder
and financial discredit."

Princeton, N. j., Jan. 24-When
shown Senator Morgan's remarks in the
United States senate relative to Mr..
Cleveland's position on the Hawaiian
treaty. ex-President Cleveland author
lied the following statement to-day: 81
do not believe in discussing matters of
this kind as private citizen. I do not
care, however, to be misrepresented. l
will therefore say that ever since the
question of Hawaiian annexation was
presented I have been utterly and con-
stantly opposed to it. The first thing
l did after my Inauguration in March,
1898, was to recall from the federal sem
ate an annexation treaty then pending
before that body. regarded, and still
regard, the proposed annexation of
these islands as not only opposed to our
national policy, but as a perversion Of
our national mission.
THE mission of our nation is to build
up and make a greater country out of
what we already have, instead of an
nexing islands, I did not suppose there
was any one in public life who misun-
derstood my position on this matter. 1t
had been said that was partial to the
former Hawaiian monarchy and desir-
ed to see it restored in order that l
might treat with it for the purpose Of
annexation. How could have had any
such idea if / regarded annexation as
contrary to our national policy? The
same answer can be made to the state
ment that my opposition to Hawaiian
annexation was based merely upon dis
satisfaction with the treaty pending be-
fore the senate at the time of my sec
ond Inauguration. I was opposed to
annexation as such.
TN regard to the Hawaiian monarchy
aside from any question of annexation
and without harboring any previous de-
signs of restoring that monarchy in
vestigated the relations of our repre-
sentatives to its overthrow. This In
vestigation satisfied me that our inter-
| ference in the revolution of 1898 was
disgraceful. would gladly therefore,
for the sake of our national honor and
our country's fair name, have repaired
| that wrong.
"In regard to the Cuban question, my
position was fully made known to con-
| gress in the various arguments in which
the subject was discussed. was op-
posed to the recognition of the belliger-
ency of the island, and my position was
perfectly well known. Indeed, so un-
| mistakable were my views on the sub
| ject that T was time and again threat
ened by frenzied men and women with
dire calamities to be visited upon my
self and children because of what they
saw fit to assert as my ennlity to the
Cuban cause. My position on all these
| questions was made perfectly clear in
the documents of the time, and there
can be no mistake. 1t is very difficult
| for me to understand Senator Morgan's
| evidently wrong impressions in regard
to my position. Indeed, it is one of the
strangest things of these strange times
that my position in these matters
| should be called into question"
