GERMAN-AMERIcAN RELATIONS.
Emperor william Expressed II Desfr :
that They Remain Friendly.

that They Remain Friendly.
Berlin, August 9.--According to the Ber-
liner Tageblatt Emperor William received
Congressman George E. Foss OF Illinois
and United States Naval Attache Beechler
on board the imperial yacht Hohenzollern
last Wednesday at KEEL, granting them al
audience of three quarters of an hour.
His -aajesty began the conversation by
expressing the belief that Admiral Dewey
had not used +so words artTi6uted to him,
Suggesting the likelihood OF a war between
the United States and Germany.
Mr.. Foss replied that he had just come
from Trieste where he had long talks with
Admiral Dewey, who had shown no hos
tility toward Germany.
The emperor then declared his convic-
ton that German American relations
would always remain friendly. Germans
in America he said. would take care that
no aggressive or hostile policy should be
pursued toward Germany. Formerly 1t
was the strong German army that chiefly
preserved peace in Europe, but the future
of nations lies now on the ocean. The in
crease of navies Is In reality the best
peace conference.
The Tageblatt does not vouch for the
verbal accuracy Of the foregoing, but as
serts that 1t is faithful reproduction of
the gist of the emperor's remarks.

Quitman. Ga. August s,--At the meet

asserted that the white and the negro are
at the parting of the ways and said the
former should assist the latter in his ef-
forts to leave this country. That portion
of his annual address on the negro quss-
ton was loudly applauded. In this he was
also bold and unequivocal In declaring
that the South should stop toadying to the
North.

Hidden TREASURE.
New York, August 9.--An American
syndicate has just purchased for $lO0o,0o0
two lsets, La Cruz and La Ramon, off the
coast of Cuba. General A. G. Greenwood,
who was on the staff of GaRefal- Robert
O Lee during the civil war, has been the
active representative Of rhe American
capitalists.
He has just returned from Cuba and in
an interview today said: I'VE believe
we have bonanza in La Cruz and La
Ramon. We are satisfied that there are
immense quantities of iron there, but we
also have reason to believe that there
are hidden there the vast treasures taken
from Panama when that city was the
richest In America. This Is no Captain
Kidd yarn. Historical records shows that
the Panama treasures were taken to La
Cruz and to La Ramon and there were
taken the captive women. Our titles are
being perfected and just as soon as this
is accomplished / am OF the impression
that something will be done that will
arouse worldwide interest"

1t appears that Mayor Zeigenheim was

publican officials. but would be purely a
democratic affair. When he learned that
the gathering would be non partisan and

a lively interest in the meeting and now
promises to leave nothing undone to give

and combinations which control the prices
of commodities in trade and the output OF
