GERMANY GRATEFUL.
Letter of the Minister of Marine
to Secretary of the Navy Long.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Secretary
Long has received the following letter
from the Minister of Marine in the Ger
man Cabinet, expressive of the good
feeling prevailing in the highest naval
quarters of Germany toward the United
States naval authorities:
Berlin, April II, 1S99.-Captain Lieu
tenant Won Misunderstanding, assigned
to the German Embassy at Washing
ton, has repeatedly spoken in his re-
ports of the very great courtesy he has
met with in United States naval circles.
On the occasion of his presence in this
city said officer confirmed his reports in
words of the warmest and most CRATE
full appreciation, and expressed the con-
viction that it was solely through the
valuable assistance of all authorities
concerned and the ever ready courtesy
of the officers of the United States navy
that he was enabled to discha1 ge his
duties during and after tbs : aai-h-
American war.
Captain Lieutenant Rebur- Pas. y WITT
further stated that whereve opp5rtu-
nifty offered he had enjoyed the most
liberal hospitality of his Anerican COM
rades. There can be no doubt that the
great readiness of the authorities in
giving information, and the extreme
courtesy Of the officers and officials of
the navy, ashore as we'll as on the sea,
is to be ascribed primarily to your ex-
cellency's initiative. l therefore desire
to express to your excellency my most
sincere thanks for the assistance given
Captain Lieutenant Won Rebur- Pasch-
WITT, and l have the honor to request
that you will transmit my thanks also
to the gentlemen of the office of the
Secretary of the Navy, the commander
in-chief of the Atlantic squadron, and
other gentlemen concerned
I ask that your excellency will ac-
cept the assurance of the high esteem
with which, have the honor to be. very
respectfully, TIRPITZ.

Reports In Favor of a Measure Hostile 10
American Interests.
The Insistent Declarations in the
United States That Poisonous
Meats Had Been Supplied to
Troops in Cuba One of the I'M
fortunate Circumstances Which
Led to the Reichstag Commit
tees Action.

BERLIN, May SIT is authorita-
lively stated that the committee of the
ReichStag, to which was referred the
neat inspection bill which was sub
stantially agreed upon by the Imperial
Cabinet and the United States Embas-
sador here, Mr. White, has reported
against the measure, and in favor of a
bill so hostile to American interests that
the Government will probably refuse to
sanction it,
The most unfortunate circumstances,
as regards American interests in the
matter of the meat inspection BILL was
the fact that there We're insistent dec
larations in the United States that en-
balmed and poisonous meats had been
supplied to the troops in Cuba Repre-
sentatives of the German land owning
interests loudly declared that if the
Americans sent poisonous meats to
their own soldiers they would certainly
send it to the Germans
A bad result is that the bill as re-
ported back provides for examination
and inspection of American meats i'm
possible to enforce without utterly de-
stroying American trade with Germany.
The bill as remodeled by the Reichstag
committee also provides to exclude from
importation hams, hard and soft sau-
sages and chopped meats and pre-
scribes that fresh meats must come in
whole carcasses or continuous parts
The United States Embassy and the
German Government still hope that the
better counsels will prevail when the
bill comes up for discussion in the open
Reichstag on it's second reading,
though the chances for the enactment
of the Government measure are very
slim.
CAUSES MUCH APPREHENSION AT
WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, May S.-The Berlin
cable indicating the failure of the pro-
posed legislation for the abatement of
the restrictions upon the importation of
American meats and meat products into
Germany was received here with grave
apprehension. 1t is beginning to sug-
gest itself here to the officials that how
ever Well disposed toward fair treat
ment of American meats, the German
Government may be unable to COM
mand the necessary strength in the
Reichstag to correct the Determinations
from which our meats have suffered so
long
The results of the failure of the meat
bill are likely to be much broader than
are commonly supposed, for it may be
stated that our Government regards the
projected relief of our meat from OPP
pressive discrimination as an absolute
essential to the negotiation of any sort
of reciprocal arrangement, either under
the terms of the Dingley Act or under
the general authorization to make trade
treaties. Therefore it is expected the
negotiations which have progressed off
and on during the past few months
looking to the making of a reciprocity
arrangement will be practically sus-
pended pending favorable action by the
German Government on the meat in
spection bill.
