He added that the difficulty regard
ing partition Of the islands was that
there was not enough of them for the
three powers. though there is probably
enough fer two. The Germans want
Upclu, where nearly all the German
plantations and property are located.
Unfortunately, this is the only valu-
able part Of the group. ard Great Brit
ain also wants it. The United States
desires Utuila, where Pango-Pango is
located, and Savaii, which is not worth
much.
The entire German press is greatly
excited at the mere mention of the
possibility of GeTnany'S retirement
from Samoa, and a. number of the in
fiuential papers are fairly in a rage,
declaring it is a point of honor for
Germany to hold her ground and not
yield up her rights to either Great
Britain or the United States.
Kaiser Popular In Hamburg.
Emperor Williams trip to Hamburg
Wednesday showed how popular he is
there. During his drive in the even
ing through the Illuminated streets. he
was enthusiastically greeted by enor-
nous crowds of people. His speech at
the dinner is regarded as being one of
his finest and most powerful efforts,
and the impression it made can hardly
be overestimated. 1t viii enormously
stimulate public sentiment in favor of
a big navy, which was doubtless the
purpose of the speech, and it is expect
ed another naval bin will soon be pre-
scented in the reichstag.
The full text of the speech shows it
to have been more sensational than it
seemed from the first report. His maj
esty dwelt repeatedly upon the slow
progress of the people in grasping i'm
portant political truths. One of the
sentences was:
THE old worldwide powers go un-
der. New ones are coming up. Ma
tons appear suddenly on the horizon
and the world must enter into compe-
tition with them
This evidently refers to Spain and
the United States. The German news
papers are still commenting on this
speech, approvingly and otherwise.
Hit at Fanaticism.
In, the emperor's strong condemna-
ton of the active splitting up into
small political parties, fanaticism seems
to have hit hard IN a country where,
as Prince Bismarck said, everybody
wants to be a. political party himself.
The correspondent OF the Associated
Press learns what quite escaped the
public, that the emperor also made a
brief but pithy address to the crew
and officers of the German warship
Fake, recently in Samoan waters, in
which he praised their devotion to duty,
and added:
Let us hope that the day may not
be distant when Germany will have
larger, more powerful ships and more
of them to send out on the far seas
for the protection of her interests, and
that all other nations will respect her
just wishes and rights"
The German embassy at Washington
has sent to the foreign Office here a
report of a number of cases of serious
interferences with German vessels in
American ports by custom house Of
ficials for slight contraventions of the
revenue laws. The cases of the Bre-
moe, Calabria and Constantia are par
ticularly mentioned. 1t is admitted that
the offenders were leniently treated,
but report says that German shippers
and captain ought to know that the
regulations are being enforced with
greater severity by the United States.
Attends a Dinner.
The emperor Tuesday attended the
dinner of the officers of the guard du
corps regiment and presented them
with a fine painting of the battle of
Zorndorf, by Roechling, after his maj
esty's ideas.
II was much remarked at the CEN
tenary of the Charlottenburg Technical
University how grealy the empress haD
aged of late. Her face is quite wrink-
led and drawn and shows signs of suf-
fering. The emperor looked to be in
fair health and it was noticed that the
imperial children were all remarkably
grown. The crown prince is now a
trife taller than his father, has bud
ding moustache and manly bearing and
resembles his mother sSrikingly. He
will give his first fete at the new palace
this evening, the guests being his school
mates and cousins. There will be a big
dinner at the new palace tomorrow in
honor OF the empress birthday.
