THEIR GOVERNMENTS ORDER.
Her Subjects and Property Under the
Protection of The United states-Re-
moves All Doubt as to Her Position
Dewey Firing Them "a Fake.

Washington, March 1.-The German
government has set at rest effectualy the
rumors of IA purpose on its part, directly
or indirectly, to embarrass the United
States iii the Philippine islands, and has
given a signal manifestation of its desire
to promote the most harmonious relations
between the United States and Germany
by ordering the withdrawal of all yes
sells OF its navy from Philippine waters
and placing the lives and property of its
subjects there under the protection OF the
United States government This action is
regarded as master stroke in diplomacy
by which will be removed all possibility
OF a clash between Germany and Ameri-
can interests in and about Manila, and
gives notice to all the world, and espec-
tally to any Americans who entertained
any suspicious OF sinister designs by Ger
many, OF the wishes and purposes of the
German empire to cultivate the friendship
of the United States.
The German government followed its
announcement to the state department of
purpose to order its vessels away from
the Philippines with a formal apphca-
ton to the United States government to
undertake the protection of all the Ger
mans in the Philippines, not only in per-
son, but in property. This was regarded
as a signal manifestation of confidence
that the Germans have no Interior pur-
poses in the Philippines, and rather than
be subjected to suspicion on that score
had taken the course of turning over the
care OF the welfare of their citizens to
the United States government. The pres
ident very promptly accepted the trust,
and there will be no German ships, either
at Manila or Iloilo, to disturb the rela-
tions between the two countries by form
ing the base of false and sensational rue

SUGAR WAR Is ON AFREsH.
American Makes a. Big Cut and the
ArbucLIes Go SuII Lower.
(New York Times, 22d.)

(NeW \ DIX Times, Z-Q.)
The war between the American Sugar
Refining Company and It's competitors
Unexpectedly broke out anew yesterday,
and before the day was out developed
into a decidedly interesting fight, which
promises to grow more bitter with time.
The American Company started in 10y
reducing the prices OF all grades Of re-
fined sugar. excepting No. 1<NXX., 3-l6
cent per pound. The other refining COM
panies promptly met the reduction, and
within very short time the Afbuckle
Company lowered the price still further
by Lie cent per pound. ma6ing a total
reduction of = cent per pouad within
few hours. This latter reduction, which,
it is understood, is only for prompt de-
livery without guarantee, was not met
either by the American or by the other
companies, but il was minated last
evening that when business opened this
morning it would be found that all the
companies had come into line.
1t was stated in some quarters that 1t
was not unlikely that the recent visit
of the western wholesale grOce.s, who
asked the American Sugar Company 10
enforce the factor agreement. had some
thing TO do with the unexpected reduc-
ton in price This. however, was not
generally credited. Speaking Of the
situation. James II. Post, of b. II. How
ell, Son q Co., who represent the Molten
hauer and the National Companies, said:
1T seems 10 me that the real reason
for the cut by the American Company
is TO make the business so Improbable
that some Of the companies will be forced
out of existence. IN my opinion, how
ever, 1t will take some years % accom-
plish this. That the cut by the Ameri-
can Company to-day took I'll the indie
pendent companies by surprise, we must
admit SO far as we are concerned, we
do not see anything to warrant the cut.
A WaIl-street bulletin quoted sugar
broker as follows: THE American Sugar
Refining Company was Informed that
statesmen of the New FORK Refinery
Doscher's) had been Offering sugar in
the West and in this city at 53s cents,
so they at once cut the price BIG at the
opening of business Monday. There
upon Arbuckle made a further cut Of
1-16, making the price 81 celts for prompt
delivery, without guarantee. In this, we
think, they are playing into the hands
Of the trust
"This reopening Of the war has greatly
demoralZed business. OF course the re-
auctions by all the rehners to j.3l applies
to the undelivered portion Of old con-
tracts, under the guarantee to January
/, 1900, but there is no disposition TO
enter new contracts under present con-
ditions. orders for prompt delivery
would go TO Arbuckle, naturally at 5.2J
cents, instead of 20 the others At 5.3l
cents. We fear that all The old bitter
ness will be revived"
