The pope collected, examined aud def

the things so alleged never existed in
America, for the American bishops
would have denounced them. ard his

GIVES PROOF OF FRIENDSHIP.

Washington, March 1.-The German
government has set at rest, effectually,
the rumors of purpose on its part, di-
rcctly or Indirectly, TO embarrass the
United States in the Philippine islands.
and has given a signal manifestation OF
its dc sire TO promote the most cordial
relations between Germany and the
United States by ordering the with
!r.wal Of all vessels of its navy from
Philippine waters, and placing the lives
and property of its subjects there under
the protection of the United States gov
crrmcnt. The action taken is regarded
here as a master stroke in diplomacy by
which will be removed all possibility of
clash between German and American
interests i'm and about Manila. and
notice to all the world. and especially to
any Americans who entertained any
suspicious of sinister designs by Ger
many. of The wish and purpose of the
German empire to cultivate the friend
ship of the United States. by it Ger
rany at once places the protection Of
~! her large interests in the Islands al
most completely in our hands.
The German government followed
lis announcement to the state depart
uent Of n purpose 10 order its vessels
away from the Philippines with for
nal application TO the United States
government to take the protection of
all the Germans in the Philippines, not
only in person, but in property. This
was regarded as a signal manifesto
ION Of confidence that the administra-
ten felt could not be resisted. and as
practically formal notice that the Ger
mans have no Interior purpose in the
Philippines, and rather than be sub

taken the course Of turning over the
care of the welfare of their citizens to
the United states government.
The president very promptly accept
