London, May 1.-The Berlin correspond

has once more shown how entirely MS
most generous impulses are made 70 sub

far his ideas of foreign policy are exaItea
above the petty rancors of an influential
section of the German press.
II ought 10 be noted that the kilograms
between Emperor William and President
Mckinley regarding the German cable
were both published In tho original Eng
lish text On the very eve of the Kaisers
telegram certain papers published dis
patcn from New York declaring that Cap
tain Coghlans dismissal was under con-
sideration. but that DR.. Won IIolebsn
did not insist upon It.
The truth is that many Of those who
make the most noise Ia German foreign
necessities OF the situation. Germany has
become deeply committed to policy of
commercial rivalry with Great Britain and
the United States and in authoritative
quarters II is considered imperative that
in the meantime at least Germany should
maintain political friendship with these
two pow1s.
The Berliner Post pointing this out, says
that what Germany needs is a respite In
order TO develop her naval power and to
shape her policy with view to ultimate
II stlll remote, advantages.

NOTHING FROM MANILA.

Department.
Washington, April 30.-Not a line of Of
fetal news from Manila was received to-
day by either the war or navy department
Since the opening of the campaign against
the insurgents scarcely day has passed
without dispatches from General Otis, and
the absence of advices today is taken by
the war department officials to mean that,
pending further negotiations on the part
of the Filipinos for peace the situation is
precisely as General Otis reported 1t yes
terday.
II is known tnat supplies are being
pushed forward from Manila to the troops
at the front in order that they may be
prepared for an advance movement should
such action become necessary.
There has been no suspension of hes
tilities. but 1t is regarded as likely that
General Otis, while net tossing any of the
advantage he has gained. will afford the
Filipinos reasonable time to consider the
situation and terms as he presented them
to the ENJOYS of General Luna, II Is ex-
pected confidently by officials of the war
department that. the way to peace now
being paved further negotiations win be
opened by the insurgents. II is believed
to be probable that the next important
news received from Manila will be that
the Filipinos have made additional ov.s-
lures toward conclusion OF hostilities.

He HAD A CLOSE CALL


Quay If my judgment is correct, there
is little doubt as to what the result will
be-
Relative to the speakership of the
next house of representatives Senator
Mantle said he was impressed with the
idea that it would go to a Western
man. Congressman Hopkins and Hen
derson he regarded as the most likely
candidates if it should come West, as
he hoped very sincerely it would, for
the benefits that would thus accrue to
the West.
Concerning the controversy over the
seating of Congressman-elect Roberts
of Utah and the probable outcome
Senator Mantle said he had no means
of judging what the next house would
do but that in his opinion the only way
Roberts could be deprived of his seat
would be by the house eXpelling him
after he is seated, by a two-thirds vote.
Senator Mantle said he had no infor-
nation as to when the Montana sol
diers will be returned to America, but
that he believed the administration
was doing everything possible toward
bringing all the volunteers home at the
earliest day possible. He spoke in
terms of highest praise of the manner
in which the Montana soldiers have ac-
quilted themselves, and said he hoped
steps would be taken to suitably rec
ognize their heroism. With reference
to congressional investigation of the
conduct of the war with Spain he said
he thought it quite probable such an
investigation would be made
Mr.. Mantle did not express himself
relative to the coming presidential pos
sibilities or the outlook for silver in the
next campaign.

of a Kansas City physician, in 1894, and
who has never been found to this day
In st. Louis, on July 7, 1897, DR.. Corn
wall killed a brother Herbert Corn
