There Has Been No CHANG ID the opin-

Papa1 Nuncios OF Munich and Ber-
lin Interview Prince Hohenlohe,
With the View of Trying to
Bring About the Intervention
of Germany in the War Be-
tween This Country and Spain.

BERLIN, May IA. - (Copyrighted
1898, by the Associated Press. )-While
there has been a marked change in
comments of the anti-American press
of Germany, there have been no change
in the opinions of the people. which
continue to be most hostile to the
United States, especially among the up
per classes.
The exporters, who are greatly per-
turbed at the serious losses which have
already resulted from the anti-Ameri-
can tone of the press, which losses are
reported to-day to have already
amounted to several million marks, and
as they threaten to be followed by a
permanent transfer of orders to a
friendlier nation, are making strenuous
efforts to curb the newspapers.
The semi-official. communications
made on the Government of Germany
protesting that Germany is friendly to
America may be accorded due recogni-
tion in Government circles that un-
friendliness toward the United States
means loss of trade
Baron Won Buelow, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, has reiterated to
United States ambassador White Ger
during the war. He explained that the
absence of formal declaration on the
part of Germany was simply due to the
fact that Germany is not in the habit
of making such declarations, even in
the case of wars which are more i'm
portant to her interests than the pres
ent like the Russo Turkish and China
Japanese wars.
The newspapers here are discussing
the probability of national Spanish
bankruptcy.
The Papal Nuncios of Munich and
Berlin have had several interviews with
Baron Won Buelow and Prince Hohen-
lohe, the Imperial Chancellor, with the
view of trying to bring about the in
tervention of Germany in the war be-
tween Spain and the United States. The
answers they have received are in sub
stance that Germany does not deem the
time ripe for intervention.
The officials of the German Foreign
Office are watching events in the Phil
ippines in the closest manner possible.
German subjects at Manila have al
ready filed claims for damages against
the United States, but the Foreign Of
fee here says they must await the con-
clusion of the war before anything can
be done in the matter 1t is said, how
ever. that the German Admiral COM
manding in the far East has been en-
powered in case of riots at Manila to
land troops to protect the German Con-
sulate and the German residents of that
place.

TAMPA (Fla.), May, 14.-Colonel A.
Wagner, representing the army on the
Advisory Board Of the War Depart
ment, and a member of General Miles
staff, arrived in Tampa to-day, and re-
ported at once to General Wade. He
refused to talk on the object of his visit
here. The presence of a member of
the Advisory Board in Tampa at this
time, however, brought about a feel
ing that the time of the invasion by
the United States forces is now very
near.
Added significance was given Colonel
Wagner's sudden visit to Tampa by
the arrival on the steamer Mascotte of
Lieutenant A. S. Rowan, who accom-
panied Captain Dorst on the Leyden
expedition from Key West to Cuba.
Lieutenant Rowan brought with him
dispatches from the insurgent leader,
a complete plan for the cooperation Of
that part of the Cuban army with the
forces of the United States
The body of Ensign Bagley was
brought up from Key West on the
Mascotte, and was shipped tonight to

with Garcia's army. and will go to
Washington to offer themselves as vol
unteers. They report the death of JOS
eph Chaplain, one of the Americans on
the island. He was killed while with
General Garlic.
Three regiments of infantry were to-
day added to the regular troops quar-
tered at Tampa. All were from Chick
amauga. They were the Second, in
command of Lieutenant Colonel Wher-
ry; the Seventh, Colonel Benham, and
the Sixteenth. Colonel Thacker.
TO RESCUE AMERICAN PRISON
ERS
KEY WEST. May 1.-THE United
States steamship Uncas. Captain
Brainard left here soon after midnight
last night for Cuba, to rescue two
Americans captured by the Spaniards
on Friday. Correspondent Knight of
the London Times is aboard the I'm
cas-, and the plan is to send him ashore
under a flag of truce to negotiate for
the surrender of the prisoners in ex-
change for two Spanish captives taken
on one of the prizes.
The Americans were carried over by
dispatch h-boat on Friday. and were
sent ashore in a small boat, effecting
landing near Mariel. AS the small boat
approached the land there was no sign
of life ashore, and it was thought that
ha 70 tohn
ed to-day told of the capture of the
men by Spanish soldiers almost imme-
diately after their landing. and of their
imprisonment in Fort Cabanas as spies.
Negotiations with Washington were
were promptly begun, and orders to
dispatch the Uncas on her mission Of
rescue came last night from Secretary
Long to Commodore Remey.

at Fresno-Thunder Storms in
the Plateau Region.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 14.-It COM
menced raining here about noon to-
day. and the prospects are good for
continued showers. The indications
are that the precipitation will visit the
coast line from San Francisco north
ward Thunder storms are reported
from the plateau region.
SAN JOSE, May 14--Showers have
been falling since 2 p M, and the
prospects are good for continuance all
night The effect, generally speaking,
will be beneficial. The cherries will
come out better, and late sown grain
and pasturage lands will be benefited.
The fruit crop will receive a much
needed stimulus, and if the downpour
continues according to present outlook,
it will answer for contemplated irriga-
ton.
Barley may be damaged somewhat,
but this will be more than offset by
the benefit in other directions. Up to
IL D. M, 40 of an inch has fallen, MAX
ing a total Of 6.65 for the season,
against 1896 for corresponding period
last year.
FRESNO, May 14-To-day's rain
amounted to only a slight sprinkle in
this portion of the San Joaquin Val
ley, resulting in no benefit and doing
no damage.
STOCKTON, May 14.-Rain COM
menced falling in Stockton at 5 o'clock
this evening, and continued until late
hour tonight. The downpour was
heavy for three hours, and considerable
water fell It is not believed the rain
will do much damage, and it will help
some of the late grain and make feed
and some hay There is not much hay
down to be injured.
SAN DIEGO, May 1.-The storm has
not reached here yet, but it is cloudy,

STOCKTON. May 14-A committee,
consisting of eight of the prominent
members of the Capital City Wheelmen,
tonight brought the Weinstock-L Lubin
cup, the trophy in the inter-u urban relay
race, to Stockton and presented it to
the Terminal City Wheelmen of Stock
ton. The decision on the day of the
race was in favor of the Capital City
Wheelmen, but protest was made on
the grounds that the victors had been
paced, and that the signed packet had
not been carried throughout the trip.
The Capital Citys acknowledged the
latter ground, and yielded the cup.
The presentation was made by Act
ing President Woodson of the Capital
Citys, and the response by H. r. Noble
of the local club. The best of feeling
prevailed, and the Athletic Association,
the other contestant for the cup, joined
in it's reception to Stockton.

BREAK IN WOODBRIDGE DAM.
Water Goes Out Below Level Of
Headgates,

STOCKTON, May 14.-At $50 o'clock
this evening another break occurred at
the Woodbridge dam. which the farm
ers interested have been repairing for
some time past, having two bad breaks
to set them back in their work. The
break tonight was around the eastern
end of the dam, and near as could be
judged in the dark was about thirty
feet wide. The water went out to below
the level of the headgates in the canal,
so that it lost it's supply The rain of
tonight will do much toward supplying
the deficiency, and those interested will
investigate the break with a view of
repairing it.

CUBAN REFUGEES.
A Number Arrive at New York ON
British Steamer Strathdee.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE British
steamer .Strathdee, Captain Curtis,
which left Sagua de Cuba May 9th, ar
rived in port this morning, bringing
as passengers forty-five Cuban refugees
and American citizens who were
obliged to flee for their lives. After
the Cubans had been on the Strathdee
for twelve hours several Spanish Off
cials came on board and closely ex-
amined the passengers, and wanted to
take several of them ashore, but owing
to the vigorous protest of the British
Consul none were taken. The passen-
gers say many were left behind in
Cuba, not having sufficient funds to pay
their passage. There were only few
soldiers in the city as nearly all the
Spanish forces had been called to aid
in the defense of Havana. Sagua was
not under the blockade when the
Strathdee left port. On the 10th inst,
the cruiser Machias and torpedo boat
hailed the Strathdee, and upon learning
her destination, permitted her to pro-
ceed.
