CTRTOTS BELIEFS.

II is an interesting fact that there are Amerl'
cans Of high position who find it easier to be-
lieve the widest vapOrings Of Aguinaldo than
the statements OF General Otis. Perhaps no.
body can explain that state of mind. What
ever the reason may be, there are Americans
whose mental faculties are SO distorted that
they listen with profound belief 10 everything
Agulnaldo has TO say. and instinctivcly put
down everything that is said by the General
commanding the American forces as an untruth.
Perhaps the United States will get along
best If il expects its own officers In command
AT distant points 10 report the facts. There is
nothing entirely abhorrent in the suggestion.
IT is not known that General Otis has ever been
guilty Of a falsehood. He has the highest re-
spect Of all Regular Army officers who have
known him. His course since he has been at
Manila has exactly correspondent with his state
mcnts It appears that he has commanded the
approva Of the majority Of foreign residents
at that point Even in some matters Of diff
Guilty he has been able to sweep away all OBJ
jections by clear statements Of facts which
none venture 10 dispute Yet in the estima-
ton of some critics he Is less worthy of be-
lief than Aguinaldo.
1t is really curious how the minds OF some
so strongly that no accumulation Of evidence,
no appeal TO common-sense. has any effect
whatever. Yet some men are built on that
plan One may admit that they are 10 be
pited but il cannot be denied that they have
the comfort Of being bcfooled. as they obviously
like TO be.

BERLINO, 8. - L'incidente di Sa-

ma non era per questo memo sfavore-

il suo rappresentante e obbligato di

giorni in media di navigazione prima
di poterlo affidare al cavo sottomarino
telegrafico.
Alrufficio di una societa poi, in in
TINA relazione col suo Governo, che e
un Governo riyale!
Infatti la Germania non ha la pro-
prieta che di due cavi sottomarini, di
quasi secondaria Importance, che uni
scono Emde-Nigo-N dalla punta
sud-est delrIrlanda allie coste nord-est
della Spagna.'
Quando 81 pensi che rInghilterra e
la sede di 20 grandi Societa per il col

rini, mentre la Germania non ha che
quella di Colonia, 81 conferma la infe-
riorita tedesca anche sui terreno dell'in

Ma oltre a Londra, come noto, Pa
rigi, Nuoya York Copenaghen possie-
dono tire grandi Societa che rivaleggia-

In complesso queste 20 Societa sono
