GERMANY ORDERS WITHDRAWAL
Of HER SHIPS FROM PHILIPPINES
Places All Her Citizens and Their Property Under the PToec-
ton Of The United States.

Some weeks ago 1t is possible that by as
suming this responsibility the United states
government has accepted liability for any
damages that may be sustained by the
German residents at Manila, but it is prob
able that the application must have been
granted and the responsibility assumed
anyhow, as 1t is believed that Admiral
Dewey and General Otis had assured the
German commander of the Augusta oil tneir
ability to protect every interest in Mania
as a reason why German forces and ma
rines should not be landed
The Benefits Which WIN Accrue
1t is official opinion, whatever the re-
sponsibility for damage, 1t will not be too
large for the benefit which will accrue.
In the first place, there is no doubt tnat
the insurgents cherished the idea that the
Germans were favorable to their cause, and
this led to the hope that they might active
ly intervene. Such a result possibly might
have been. brought about through some
cunningly planned action by the insurgents
that should involve the American and
German sailors into collision. Then, TOO,
this frank action on the part OF the Ger
man government is calculated to relieve the
tension that was beginning to manifest it.
self. not that there was the slightest sign of
this in the official relations of the govern
ments of the United States and Germany,
but unguarded utterances in the press OF
both countries based on understood
negotiations were steadily tending TO cause
friction that might in the end have had
grave results. All this. however,
may be expected to disappear now wheh
once 1t is understood that the only issues
between the two governments are rather
abtruse economical ones and do not in any
manner concern territory wanted by either,
no reason is seen why the old friendship
should not prevail.
