the change in tho friendship. which is 100
years old. between Germany and the United
States The Gazette admits that Germany did
not sympathize with America in the Spanish
war; but devoutly hopes that when the Samoan
troubles are settled and the Philippines have
been conquered the Americans will appreciate
Germany's standpoint better than they have
in their excited military ardor. for which Ger
many has made allowance. AS in the recent
Samoan troubles. when the nation the least
concerned appeared with the most powerful
warships and acted in the most superior
manner"
The TACT that Gcrinanys rights in Samoa
have not been infringed upon. and her in
terests have been protected in the Philippines.
together with the establishment OF the Ger
man cable to the United States. the Gazette
says. will cause a cessation OF the luminosity
