GERMANY'S WARSH|PS GO
THEIR GOVERNMENTS ORDER,
Her Subjects and Property Under the
Protection of The United States-Re-
moves All Doubt as to Her Position
Dewey Firing ON Them Fake.

Washington, March 1.-The German
government has set at rest effectually the
rumors OF u purpose on its part, directly
or indirectly, to embarrass the United
States in the Philippine islands, and has
given a signal manifestation of its desire
to promote the most harmonious relations
between the United States and Germany
by ordering the withdrawal of all yes
sells of its navy from Philippine waters
and placing the lives and property of its
subjects there under the protection of the
United States government. This action is
regarded as master stroke in diplomacy
by which will be removed all possibility
OF a clash between Germany and Ameri-
can interests in and about Manila, and
tally to any Americans who entertained
any suspicious of sinister designs by Ger
many, of the wishes and purposes of the
German empire to cultivate the friendship
of the United States.
The German government followed its
announcement to the state department of
purpose to order its vessels away from
1le IhhlPpIheS Win loIhldi aPpllcd'
ton to the United States government to
undertake the protection of all the Ger
mans in the Philippines, not only in per-
son, but in property. This was regarded
as a signal manifestation of confidence
that the Germans have no Interior pur-
poses in the Philippines, and rather than
be subjected to suspicion on that score
had taken the course of turning over the
care of the welfare of their citizens to
the United States government The pres
ident very promptly accepted the trust,
and there will be no German ships, either
at Manila or lloilo, to disturb the rela-
tions between the two countries by form
ing the base OF false and sensational ru-
mOTs.

MAY KILL THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
cHAIRMAN BURToNs VIEW OF THE NICARAGUA
CANAL AMENDMENT

CHAIRMAN BvRToN's VIEW OF THE NICARAGUA
CANAL AMENDMENT.
Washington. Feb. 1s-Chairu1an Burton. Of the
River and Harbor Committee Of the House. said
to-day that he feared the River and Harbor bill
would fail TO become law a result Of the
action Of the Senate Commerce Committee In add
ing the Nicaragua Canal amendment
II am not opposed to the Nicaragua Canal"
said Mr. Burton. but it IS a vast project 10 be
approached with due deberation and not carried
along as a rider. with perhaps only few min
utes' consideration. Every item OF the original
bill was carefully scrutinzed by the committee, but
g. will be impossible. II this amendment comes
back 10 give 1t like scrutiny in the few remaining
days Of Congress, or to reconcile It with the orisi
nal character Of the BIZ. Viewed from practical
standpoint. the amendment creates a combination
Of opposing eements-the opposition 70 any River
and Harbor bill. the opposition 10 any Nicaragua
Canal the opposition TO this form Of dealing with
the Nicaragua Canal. the opposition Of such men
as Mr.. Cannon 10 heavy expenditures, and the
opposition to the Senate increase In river and
harbor items. Altogether, I am seriously appre-
hensive that these combined elements Of opposi-
ton will defeat the River and Harbor bill. and The
Nicaragua Canal amendment as we'll"
II is expected that test Will be made on the
bill II the Senate retains the canal item when II
reaches the House The usual procedure would he

therefore Will endeavor 10 preserve the Nicaragua

etitute strict Government control as embodied IN

emined and under these II IS said that the motion

House proposition for that Of the Senate. would
take precedence over "a motion to non-concur. The
