Great Britain's hostility and bellttle the
friendship between her ana Germany
Is an enigma yet unsolved BY any Brit
ish authority. A consensus Of Ire best
opinion tends TO the belief that the
German minister wished 70 onset Mr..
Joseph ChanberlSih's rash speech at
Leicester. Yet This seems small exc
cuse for such language at this period,
while the auggegtlon that Count Won
BueIow spoke for purely political effect

terIsiic OF the man. who Is rapidly
achieving the reputation of being the
first statesman In Europe
$50 far" says the Saturday Review,
referring to the war, I'VE have been
able to answer each reverse by the po-
tent argument Of another division. but
that cannot last forever"
Such an expression appearing in an
uItra-congervative and optimistic pub
LEGATION is significant.
While tine Won BeuIow anti-Britlsh
criticisms have not stirred resentful
criticisms. the public is Just beginning
to realize that with 10000 men In the
field no progress is being made in any
direction. ana Kimberley. and Lady
smith seem as far on US ever from the
promised relief.
While General Buffers reverse was
an unexpected blow to the public that
had pinned It's faith to him. It would
appear that the original plan Of cam

better results, for the besieged towns

Of holding out. AS 1t is now, the Brit

ously repuIsed. are unable to cooper
ate, and at any rate, for the present,
are unable to reach their detectives.
1t was for this plan that the central
advance was sacrificed. Even the re-
lief OF Ladysmith can scarcely have
great alternating consequences to the
campaign, as a whole, unless It's moral
effect quiets the growing dlsaReclon
In Cape Colony and diaheartens the
Beers to more serious extent than

But. however looked at, the British
position is most unenvlabIe. and there
is a great cry for more troops. Lord
Londonderry urges the war office to
send out 100000 more men. saying;
Conceive the effect on the empire If
Methuen Is forced to surrender"
The st. James Gazette says this with
the intImatlon that the treasury is

San fRAN,!sCo. April l2-The Ger
man Democrat. published in this city,
has received letter from one If the
chief German officials at Samoa which
is interesting as giving the German
view OF the complications at Apia.
The correspondent writes that with
all the shooting that has been done not
a single Ma,aafan had been killed or
wounded and that the Mataafans and
Germans have apparently no respect for
the fighting ability Of the American
and British sailors.
The Mataafans are anxious for the
allied forces to come out and fight in
the open. where they. with their native
implements Of war. will have chance
against the modern weapons used by
the Americans. The letter says that
Admiral kau,z
Gave No Warning Of the Bombardment,
but that when il commenced he thought
a salute had been fired. According to
the correspondent British Consul Maxse
is greatly blamed for the trouble and
there seems 10 be an inclination among
the Germans to hold the British re-
sponsible for the war instead Of the
the Americans. The German com
mander Of the Fake, in addition to tax
ing on board women and children of hi!
own nationality, extended to America,
and English women and children the
