GERMANY AND ENGLAND.

There IL much speculation as 10 che
political fignincation of 'thc visit of
Emperor william 90 Queen Victoria. In
Germany there seems to be . tendency
20 regard It merely as ,hc discharge Of
q pleasant duty u grandson To his
grandmother. but In Great Britain an
other Wow " taken. and probably with
good ground. Germany l. bent on
colonial expansion. and her ruler can
not fail 60 appreciate the value OF the
friendship Of Grca, Britain IN any fu-
tufo enterprise In that line.
There Ia no now departure In this
policy Germans and Engilshmcn have
before this fought side by side In many
a battle. The Imperial houses have
intcrmarried.and there has always been
a feeling Of hnshlp cultivated between
the two nations Even the periodically
recurring grumbllngs have been more
la the nature Of family disputes than
outbreaks OF hos,lllties.
Perhaps the ncrllucr Neucatc Mach
Hchtcn gives the clue TO the policy OF
the German government. II points out
that tho German friends OF the Trans.
yani Beers can only hope that Germany
VIII tcmain IN a position Go give her
support to an Intervention M soon 40
the suitable moment comes for some
power 10 take the Initiative. But this
will only he possible. " Germany does
mo-, put England into bad humor" The
voice " the German Emperor VIII b.
heard In Great Britain. " he speaks
as a friendly sovereign. and not rs .
ruler distrustcd by that country.
That papcr further points out that In
the Amcrican-Spanish conflict German
sympathy was at the outset pronounced
Tor Spain. hut the result Of this was
that the country came within a hairs
breadth " war with the United Statcr.
The lesson OF this has not been lost
upon tho German people. In other
words, ~ Germany Intends rendering
the Trausvaai any real servico.she mus,
cultivate a friendly feeling toward Great
Britain.
This may. or may not. be the motive

During the brief contest In Cuba near

mate seems also to have been more try
ing TO our troops than that In the Phil
ippincs. for the total deaths Of disease
IN cuba are given as s62. while those In

In the United states the deaths In the

is given a. s.Se9. or eOe among the regu-
lars and 2.s2a among the volunteers Of
