Germany in the Far East

Berlin, February 2S.-During the ses-
sion today Of the budget committee Of
the reichstag, the minister of foreign
affairs, Baron Won BuelOw, made a
statement relative to affairs in China.
He aid that in view of the anti-for-
eign irritation, particularly the fact
that several Germans were grossly in
suited and afterwards assaulted at
Tien Tsin last Saturday, he had in
structed the German minister at Pekin,
Baron Won Heyking, to make it per-
fectly clear that if such acts were not
severely punished or if there was a re-
currence of such acts, grave conse
quences would ensue for the Chinese
government. He added: W. do not in
tend to interfere in the internal af-
fairs Of China, but duty compels US to
protect the lives and property of Ger
mans"
With reference to the statements
published in foreign newspapers re-
garding the supposed action Of the
German warship Irene, in the Philip
pine islands and the alleged conduct
of Rear Admiral Dewey, who it has
been said threatened to sink the steam
foreign affairs said these statements
belong to the category Of plump
canards'' previously described by him.
SO far as we knew, the Irene was
not in the Philippine islands but was
at Hong Kong, and the only German
warship at Manila "a the Kaiserin
Augusta. There were, he added, a
considerable number Of German mer-
chants in the Philippine islands whom
the German navy was anxious to pro-
tect during the Hispano-American
war. I'VE hope" the minister said,
that u countrymen will find full Sc
curity under American rule"

cause OF Reduction Of Number OF Sale
ors-Construetion OF New Warships to
be Suspended by Action Of Congress
Washingto, March 1.-The navy de-
partment put the big double turreted
monitor Puritan out Of commission
at the Norfolk navy yard yesterday,
and it is said al the navigation bureau
that this ship must be followed by
others speedily TO the great detriment
Of the plans Of the department. The
estimates submitted 10 congress, based
On the minimum requirements Of the
navy, provided for 10000 sailors.
Congress cut this down to $4,000.
There are now $4,000 men in the SER
vice, SO that 5000 of these must be
dropped Immediately. That means,
according TO the navigation officers,
that a large part of the North Allan
tic squadron must go out of commits
sion.
It is probable that the heavy reduc-
ton in the number Of enlisted men, and
consequently of ships, will interfere
seriously with the conduct Of the naval
maneuvers this year, Notwithstanding
the enormous benefit that has been de-
rived from such drills in the past.
| Another difficulty is going to be the
impossibility of putting into commits
| sion new ships as they are turned over
to the government by the builders,
simply for want of men to man them.
TIL 80 - ~ rnnofn -ncfnrdor
in the matter of ships armor caused
secretary Long to take prompt meas
ures to bring the subject to the atten-
| ton of the laval committees in the
house and senate in the hope Of secur-
| ing a change il the naval appropriation
bill before it is finally enacted. The
| secretary and Captain O'Neill, chief of
the ordinance bureau, in communica-
| tons sent to the committees declared
that the action of the senate if adhered
to meant the total stoppage Of all naval
construction saying that no armor can
be procured for $500 per ton 1t might
have been possible, it is said at the
department, TO go on and build ships
without the armor under ordinary
circumstances, trusting to the next
congress to provide for it, but for a
clause in the appropriation bill which
provides that no ships shall be built
until the armor is contracted for. The
effect of the two provisions will be to
put a complete stop to ship building
operations as far as the navy is con-
cerned. Although it is provided that
a government rmo plant be costruct-
ed in the event of the failure of the
department to secure bids for supplying
armor at the price fixed, the ordinance
officers say that such a plant could
not be constituted and begin the supply
of armor inside of two years at the ear
lest.

The Pope Taken HI

Rome, Februar5 2S.-The Pope was
taken suddenly i'll this morning and
his audience has been suspended.
Later, he had a prolonged fainting fit.
The Pope had a fatiguing day yester-
day, receiving congratulations on the
approaching anniversary Of his coro-
nation, and complained Of the cold,
which has been intense for two days.
This morning the pontiff complained Of
a pain in his side. DR.. Lapponi found
some fever and ordered the patient to
remain in bed and take a complete rest.
The physician has since visited the
pope three times. 1t is almost GER
tain that the pontifical receptions and
ceremonies fixed for March End and
March 3rd will be countermanded.

morning.
ing, removed a cyst from the left thigh
of the pontiff. The operation was sue
