Berlin, oct. 21.-The German press is just
as unanimously anti-Briush in the Trans
vaal war as it was anti-American in the
war between the United States and Spain.
Even the Liberal papers, although po-
litically and commercially they have all
along sought and found an ideal in Eng
land, now strongly disapprove England's
procedure In varied, but never compliment
airy utteranees.
Speakers in the British Parliament are
characterized as "hypocrtical," and the
British people and government are de-
scribed as 'devoured by land hunger" and
by greed for Transvaal gold" The Con-
seTvative Reichsbote, when 1t learned that
Emperor William was going to England in
November, threatened a counter demon
stration.
The government however, Is fully de-
termined to preserve its neutrality. DR..
Leyds. the representative of the Transvaal
in Europe, was on the point Of coming to
Berlin this week to make another attempt
to influence Germany's policy. He notified
Count Won Buelow, the German minister
,f ffaEr
with the Emperor on Tuesday, telegraphed
to Dr.. Leyds a hint that a visit just now
would be slightly embarrassing and that
his purpose would certainly not be fur
thered by it,
The Associated Press learns from a for
eign Office official in the confidence of
Count Won Buelow that the latter said:
1--WE do not want Leyds here just now.
We have nothing to say to him"
1t is another question whether this at
titude OF strict neutrality is wise. A MEM
Der of the Russian embassy said to the
Associated Press correspondent:
"The steps for the preservation of peace
undertaken by Russia are likely 10 mis-
carry, because Germany just now ad-
heres to her Anglophile policy. Germanys
attitude alone made Mr.. Chamberlain's
bold advance possible Germany is in
measure responsible for the prospective
subsection of the TransvaaL She Is on
the point of earning substantial rewards
from England, and not only in Africa, put
these gains win not counterbalance the
losses she will sustain elsewhere, because
of her aid to England. 1t will be Ger
manys doing if England soon becomes all
powerful In Africa, and Germany will be
the first to feel the consequences"
Germany Wants the Islands.
The public really has been more inter
ested this week in Samoa than in the war
The interest taken in these small islands
revives at the slightest bit of news of an
iusurgent change in the situation and the
papers have devoted a very great amount
of space to the subject.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press saw Baron Won Sternberg, the Ger
man member of the Samoan Commission
Wednesday and understands that there IL
no doubt that negotiations pending will
soon lead to a satisfactory settlement. The
correspondent also learns from the foreign
office that the Minister of Foreign Affairs
Count Won Buelow, adheres to his deter
mination to secure for Germany the ISL
ands or the most valuable part of them
The informant of the correspondent added
that in holding out for this the minister is
mainly following the almost unanimously
expressed demands of the public. But, II
was added, il must not be understood that
he win not sanction. If the present wish
is found to be unreallzable, some other So
