Neutral Rights
BERLIN, April 23.-There has been
lively exchange of notes in regard to the
proposed action on the part of some of
the powers for the protection of neutral
flags. 1t is understood that Germany,
Austria and Italy have about agreed to
send strong note to both the United
States and Spain, warning them to exer-
else the greatest caution in dealing with
neutral shipping. adding that otherwise
reparation will be insisted upon. These
powers also intend to send vessels to the
seat of war, to observe the naval and
other operations Germany will probably
send the Koenig Wilhelm. Great Britain
and Russia are still hanging back.
The German government is strongly in
censed at the sale of the Hamburg -Ameri-
can liners Normannia and Columbia to
Spanish company, as the vessels were
auxiliary cruisers, and therefore the con-
sent of the German government, which
was not obtained. was necessary for the

NEW YORK, April s.-The belief that
Spain will not give up her original plans in
regard to privateering is gaining ground
in official circles in Germany, says the Ber-
lin correspondent of the World.
The Admiralty is considering the advis-
ability of sending warship to the West
Indian waters to safeguard German inter-
ests.
The most foolish attempts are being
made by newspapers actively hostile to
America to point out the alleged danger
threatening the United States from the
attitude of the Latin-American republics.

Deputies today, the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, the Marquis Visconti- -venosta, re-

was imminent, Italy opened communication
with the European powers relative to the
steps to be taken to safeguard neutrals.
He added that while the exchange Of views
was proceeding the United States of its
own initiative notified the government of
Italy of the rules the United States pro-
posed to adhere to with reference to pri-

A Cabinet Crisis
NEW YORK, April pa dispatch to the

crisis has added new danger to the sit

to the Queen Regent and rendered the
resignation of the whole cabinet. He did

If Sagasta is not retained in office with
all his present colleagues except Colonial
Secretary Moret (whose colonial policy is
considered failure, making him very
unpopular), the Queen may ask Marshal
Campos to organize a military cabinet
which shall have almost dictatorial powers
in order to carry on the war.

There is already n considerable de-
