MASTER STROKE OF DIPLOMACY

Washington.

Washington, March 2.-The German
government has set at rest the rumors
of purpose on its part, directly or
indirectly, to embarrass the United
States in the Philippine islands, and
has given signal manifestation of it's
desire to promote the most cordial
relations between Germany and the
United States by ordering the With
drawal of all vessels of it's pnTy from
Philippine waters and placing 1.-THE
lives and property of it's subjects there
under the protection of the United
States government. The action taken
is regarded here as u master stroke in
diplomacy, by which will be removed
all possibility of clash between
American and German interests in
and about Manila, and notice to all the
world, and especially to any Amer
leans who entertained any suspicious
OF sinister designs of Germany, of the
wish and purpose of the Germans to
cultivate the friendship of the United
States. BY it Germany at once places
the protection of all her large inter-
ests in the islands completely in our
hands. The announcement of this act
of the German government came at
the end of a day that had been full of
sensational rumors that clash had
occurred between the United States
and Germany in Manila. But all pos
sibility of such clash was removed
at the close of the official departments
by the announcement that the Ger
man government had ordered their
ships away from Manila, probably to
their new naval station at Kiachou on
the Chinese coast. The announcement
was coupled with the statement that
the German vessels were needed there,
as the Chinese have been abusing some
German citizens almost in the shadow
Of the Chinese capital at Tien Tsin,
and the Germans have come to believe
that the only way to meet such cases
is by punitive measures.
