Germany Recalls Her ships From the

Germany Recalls Her ships From the
PHILIPPINES.
Washington, March 2.-The German
government has set at rest efIectually
the rumors of purpose on it's part. d.
rectly or indirectly. to embarrass the
United States in the Philippine
islands. and has given q signal mani
festation of its desire to promote the
most cordial relations between Ger
many and the United States by order
ing the withdrawal Of all vessels of
its navy from Philippine waters and
placing the lives and property of it's
subjects there under the protection Of
the United States government. This
action 10 regarded as master stroke Of
diplomacy. by which will be removed
all possibility of clash between Ger
man and American interests about N a.
Mia, and gives notice to all the world
and especially to any Americans who
entertained any suspicion Of sinister
designs BY Germany. of the wishes and
purposes of the German empire to cul-
tivate the friendship of the United
States.
The announcement of this act Of the
German government came at the close
of q day that had been full of sensa-
tional rumors Of clash between the
Americans and Germans in Manila,
the rumors finally going 50 far as to
assert that Admiral Dewey had fred
on and sunk German vessel at Ma
Mia. ANY lingering fears in naval cir
cles were set at rest finally at the close
of the day by the receipt Of some dis
patches from Manila. but without men
tion Of any untoward incident.
Finally at the close Of the day, and
after the official close of the depart
monts, the announcement was made
for the reason Of the great confidence
the the officials had in the falsity Of
the rumors, the statement being author
lied that by one bold stroke Germany
had removed all possibility Of any
clash at Manila. It was announced
that the German government had or
dered their ships away from Manila,
probably to their new naval station
On the Chinese coast.
The German government followed its
announcement to the state department
Of purpose to order it's vessels away
from the Philippines with q formal APP
plicationn to the United States govern
ment to undertake the protection of all
the Germans in the Philippines, not
only in person but in property.
The president very promptly accept
ed the trust, and there will be no Ger
man ships. either at Manila or lilo lilo

the countries by forming the base of
sensational and false rumora.

this evening at 1910. When the sen-

that his amendment providing that the
army should not be increased perma-

corporated in the measure. For SOW

defeat it. An agreement was reached
finally, however. and CORN ans amend
