London, April 1S.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of The Times says: "Some
importance Is attached to the an
noCncement Of The Correspondence
(National LiberaD that Germany medi-
tates the "eventuality of a stronger
display Of power at Samoa, the end in
view being the abolition of the con"
dominum, thus enabling Germany to
assume exclusive sovereignty in the
islands" The idea Is that the en-
gagements of the United States and
Great Britain elsewhere present a fa-
vorable opportunity, but looking to the
probable coutcome of such action it
is difficult to take the announcement
seriously. considering that Germany
has her hands full in China and Samoa
is not worth such display Of power
and expenditure.

returned to the United States from his
| visit abroad. where he was sent to pur-
chase men-of-war and munitions for
the use of the United States navy. The
commander is looking well bronzed,
and says he had an enjoyable trip,
having spent practically all his time
in Italy, France and England. He
made a number of recommendations
and reports to Secretary Long dur
ing his inspections abroad, and will
submit the final one to the secretary
today. Commander Brownson during
his visit was able to guage the feeling
which the European nations have for
this country in its issue with Spain.
Concerning the Enslishmcn he re-
marked that their sympathy Is for US,
and they are with us to a man. A
great many Frenchmen sided with
Spain, although the commander said
his observations regarding them were
based on reports only. Italy being one
of the Latin countries, there Is an ele-
ment which sympathizes with Spain,
although many of the commercial
classes, realizing that much Of the
trade of the peninsula Is with the Uni
ted states, look upOn our contention
with favor.
Few Good Warships For Sale.
Commander Brownson says that ow-
Ing to the uncertain state of affairs in
Europe growing out Of the eastern
question. in which most of the great
nations are Interested very few really
satisfactory warships are to be found
on the market. while in six months
from now, when possibly no one will
want to purchase any, no doubt some
Will be available. Unfinished ships and
those of inferior quality were to be OBJ
tanned If desired, but the government
preferred not to purchase vessels of
that kind. The commander leaves the
city today for New York, where he
Is to assume command of the Yankee,
to which he has been assigned.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt probably
will resign his Office as assistant sec
retary of the navy in case of hostili-
ties with Spain, to accept a commission
for active service in the army Moth
ing definite has been decided upon as
to what assignment he will accept,
but 1t is believed that he would pre-
fer to serve with the New York state
troops. From the beginning of the
present difficulties with Spain Mr..
Roosevelt has been prominent among
those who believe that war is the only
solution of the problem, and since the
disaster to the Maine his advice to the
president and members of the cabinet
has uniformly been for immediate ac-
ton against the Spaniards. He has
never doubted that the Spaniards were
responsible for the wreck of the Maine,
and believes that that act fully justi-
fies an immediate declaration of war,

Legislative Work Pending.

There is still much important work be-
fore the Legislature, although that body
is talking of adjourning. Usually crop
times make the As'emblymen anxious to
get home, but this year it seems that the
members prefer the Dover meetings to
their crops. The new city charter for Will
mington is yet to be considered, and both
elements of the Democrats are maxim /.
desperate efforts to have a charter passed.

Tampa. Fla, April 1S.-The reported
hostility toward the Spanish residents
in this city has absolutely no founda-
ton. The people of this city have been
even more than ordinarily friendly to-
ward the Spanish residents during the
continuance of the strained relations.
They have thus assured the Spanish
colony that whatever is said by the
press or the people is in no way in
tended for them as individuals, but as
directed against the policy of the Span
ish government solely. The Spanish
residents Of Tampa are peaceful and
thrifty and are looked upon with
much esteem by the entire community.
