PURCHASE OF THE CARoLINEs.

Berlin, March lin the Reiohstag to-
day Herr Won Buelow, minister of For
eign affairs, replying to the demand of
Herr Richter, the Radical leader, for
information, concerning rumors of the
purchase of the Caroline Islands by Ger
many said that he had nothing positive TO
place before the chamber. He believed,
he said. that a discussion had taken place
upon the question whether the acqui-
sition of this or that South Sea island
would be desirable II not useful. The
matter, however, could only be consid-
cred after the Spanish Cortes had accept
ed the peace treaty:
Herr Richter declared that the purchase
could only take place with the consent Of
the Rel ,hstag. Personally, he said, he
should protest against the acquisition OF
the worthless Caroline Islands in addition
to Germany's present worthless colonial
possessions.

the Houss of Commons on Thursday,
when introduced in the naval estimates

constructor of the British navy. 1t is
stated that the Admiralty has the full
plans of the Oregon, presumably supplied
by the courtesy of the United States
