TROUBLES Of HIS own
BLLIv, MAD Wan LORD o., GER
MANY, - BOTHERED


BERLIN, July tho public con-
tinues to be absorbed in the elections re-
GENTLY held In this country and their re-
suits.
The Increased strength Of the Cenhrists
is now 104. and the weakening Of tine gov
ernment side In the redchstag induced the
CeM1dstv to formulate list of demands
for the coming session. including the re-
call Of the Jesuius, the abolition Of the
last resnnants OF Culturkampf. the REIN
statement In the constitution OF the arti-
clos granting absolute political equality
to the Catholic church, and the restitution
OF the Catholic department in tho MIN
istry Of public worship.
Tho representative of the Associated
Press learns, however. from good author
ity, that. although he cannot pass new
measures without the cooperation OF the
Centrists, Emperor William will not sane
ttom the recall Of the JesuttS. which the
Centrdste regard as ths most important OF
their demands. Emperor William recent
ly declared that so long As he was king of
Prussia the bundesrath should not have
Pruesian vote in favor Of the recall OF the
Jesuits nor OF the other demands ealumer-
ated.
1t Is probable, therefore. that there will
be trouble between the Centrists and the
government during the next session. espe-
cially as a number Of those elected on the
ne ballots who were aided by Centrists'
votes are pledged to support the Centrtsts
themselves, giving the Center at least IL
votes
The press Of the country Is now comment

more unbiased manner and with less ven
ON toward the Americans, although the
military editors continue to regard the sit.
uation as very unfavorable for the Amer
leans as we'll as for the Spaniards.
With regard to Cuba, 1t Is thought thai
the American forces, apart from yellow
jack and the influences of the climate. arc
entirely inadequate. All the American OPP
erations since the United States forces
have landed, 1t is asserted, have been ILL
advised and showed lack of foresight The
fact that the army of occupation is so In
sufficiently equipped with everything
needful shows, the papers declare, pool
generalship.
Some comment has been aroused by Mr.
Tillmans speech in the United States
senate regarding the Philippines.
The National Zeitung reiterafes the
statement that Germany has not vel
shown a desire to interfere, except Il
protect German subjects, should the ne.
cessity ARISE which is by no means I'm.
likely, as neither Spain nor the United
States seems to be able to cope with tn
natives.
The paper adds: If the United State:
should conquer and retain the Philippines
or If Spain relinquishes them to the United
States, then they would become hers b.
right of war, and It is improbable that any
power would go to war with the Unit ed
States in order to dispute her possession.
Should Spain, however, lose the Philip.
pines without the United States conquer
ing them, then all the countries interested
in the far east would be concerned in theii
fate"
Prince Bismarck is regaining his health
He is able to walk again and Is as active
and keen witted aus ever.
Since March the orchards throughout
Germany have been thoroughly searched
for the San Jose scale. The Prussian min
lister of agriculture, Baron Won Hammer
stein-Lexton, now reports that no sign OF
the San Jose scale has been found, although
another insect greatly resembling it has
been discovered in great numbers.
