Their negotiations for peace. The truth Is
that the ambassadors of the six powers
prepared and signed the note at the Brit
ism embassy. and went together TO the
president TO whom Sir Julian Paunce-
fote. ambassador for Great Britain, made
a few remarks and delivered the note.
Notwithstanding this the English and
American press reveled in such poisoned
headlines as these: Only the steel-goVed
hand of England holds Europe from at
lacking the United States. and even now
the attitude of Germany is uncertain
Such ISLANDERS as these against Germany
were common, in spite of the fact that
the German secretary of postal affairs
had just announced that Germany VIII
shortly begin the laying of separate
cable to the United States
'sTheBritish onsular Journal had OBJ
served that Germany was continually ex-
tending her trade, that her exports for the
first quarter of 1898 had increased $780,
while the British exports had decreased
100000. 1t is not strange that our cousin
John Bull should begin to devise ways
and means of putting stop to these cable

chain is no stronger than its weakest sink,
| and the United States will be no stronger
| than dts weakest and most remote island
possession. He remembered that Lincoln
had said: All the armies of Europe, Asia
and Africa combined, with a Napoleon sor

pastine to Irish politicians at Washlng-
ton as it has in the past.
Accordingly the English press contin-
ned comments, of which the following
| from the Chronicle, of Newcastle, is
fair sample: The German Admiral Died
richs, with an unnecessarily large naval
| force, has been lending such moral support
to General August at Manila that u Is
openly stated by those on the spot that
the place would before now nave capltu-

ment afforded by the presence OF the Ger
mans Such venom and poison as this
the American newspapers gave free cir
culation. with conspicuous and emphatic
headlines.
at is true German boat did carry the
Spanish governor, August, from Manila
to Hong Kong last summer; but why
oouldn't America also receive the informa-
ton that Dewey and Merritt both gave
their consent before Diedrichs permitted
August TO go aboard? It is true the Ger
mans had a ship or two more than Eng
land or France in Manila pay Dat the
extra ships were there to take nome the

and gunners two-thirds OF his best ana

ana fact II is infamous to suggest that
