AFRAID OF UNITED STATES.
Central American States Object to the
Amendment Proposed to the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty.

NEW YORK. March pa special
to the Herald from Washington says:
1t can be stated authoratively that
the state department has been in
formed that all the governments Of
Central America are opposed to the
Davis amendment TO the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty.
In the opinion of the governments
designated, the amendment places an
entirely new phase upon the designs
of the United States in connection with
the construction of the canal. The
neutrality Of the waterway would, to a
certain extent, have deprived the pow
erful republic of the North Of an in
eentive to acquire their territory
Since the war with Spain and the
consequent expansion of the United
States some apprehension has been ex-
pressed BY the southern countries that
the United States would next turn its
attention to them.
The Hay Pauncefote treaty was con-
sequently hailed by the Central Ameri-
can nations as a guarantee that they
would not be molested as the interna-
tional neutrality Of the canal would
prevent interference in isthmian af-
fairs by Other governments. The Davis
amendment however placed in the
hands of this government The right
not only TO take measures for its own
defense with reference to the canal but
permits US to use force for the main
tenance of public order"

GERMANYs KIND OFFER.
She Stands Ready to Protect Amer
lean Missionaries With Her Troops.

NEW YORK. March "a special to
the Herald from Washington. says: 1t
developed today that Germany stands
ready with troops to protect American
missionaries in shan Tying province. 1t
was further ascertained that the Berlin
government TO the qualification Of
the United States recently despatched
an expeditionary force from Kiao Chou
TO Ichol Fu for the protection OF
American missionaries. This force
Suppressed the rioters at Ichou Flu. ar
rested the ringleaders who have ben
punished and taught the anti-foreign
crusaders a lesson.
The state department has been in
formed that the German government
contemplates another expeditionary
force to the interior of Shan Tung,
where most Of the American missions
are located, but Il fully understands
the willingness of the German authori-
ties to take such action. In fact,
learned in a high diplomatic quarter
that the German governor at kiao
Chou has standing instructions TO take
such measures for the protection of,
not only German missionaries and other
interests in Shan Tung province as may
seem necessary, but Of American mis-
sionaries as well. Because of the pecu-
liar relation in which Germany stands to
the province of shan Tung by reason
OF her acquisition of Kiao Chou and OF
court property rights in the promotory.
she is particularly desirous Of preserv-
ing order in the territory. 1t is for this
reason that her troops are ready for
service at any point within the prov
ince where there is danger Of attack
upon foreign interests by Chinese IA
natics. To a certain extent Germany
consequently dominates the province
and she undoubtedly would rather use
her own troops to protect foreigners,
then allow a third government TO land
a force to protect its own citizens, when
such action might lead to its remain
ing permanently in the territory, which
its forces temporarily occupied.
The fact that Germany dispatched
troops to Ichou Flu to protect American
missionaries has never hitherto been
published The offer of Germany to
send force to this point was received
with pleasure by the authorities. who
do not contemplate any designs what
ever on chinese territory and who are
consequently very glad TO assent to the
German proposition.
Minister Wu Ting Fang, the diplo-
matte representative of China here, is
inclined to look upon the reports Of
trouble in China as exaggerated.

DRY ToRTUGAs DISPUTE.
Marine Hospital Determined to Force
the Navy out Of Possession.


NEW YORK. Marcn sl.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says;
Secretary Long has sent instructions
to the contractor VINO has been engaged
in the construction Of u coalins station
at Dry Tortugas. directing him TO sus-
pend work until next November. This
action has been taken in compliance
with the recommendation of the sur
gaon- general of the marine hospital
service who has called the attention OF
the department to the necessity for US
ing Dry Tortugas island between April
l and November /, as quarantine sta
tion and has expressed apprehension
lest. If a large working force were on
the island it should serve as a means
for the transfer Of bubonic plague or
yellow fever to the United States.
The question Of the final ownership
of the island has not been settled.
Under n presidential order It belongs
to the war department which. having
no use for 1t, permitted the marine hos
pital service to establish a quarantine
station there. The navy, during the
war with Spain regarded the island as
a strong strategic station and obtained
permission to establish a coaling sta
ton on 1t.
Considerable money has been expend-
ed in the establishment OF the station
and the navy department will point out
that the government will lose a great
deal of money if it is forced perma-
nently to surrender the island to the
marine hospital service.

TIE FRENCH TREA:Y.
Senator Davis Making Strong Efforts
to Secure Its Ratification.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Davis, chairman Of the senate commit
tee on foreign relations and in charge
of the French reciprocity treaty, said
last night that Notwithstanding the
purpose to extend the time for the ex-
change Of ratifcations, he proposed
to do all he could to obtain ratifca-
ton during the present session.
The senator is preparing a careful
statement showing the advantages to
American interests which will attend
the operation of the treaty. He expects
to complete the statement in the course
of week and will ask that 1t be print
ed SO that each senator may be supplied
with a copy and consider it at his
leisure.
Senator Davis viii set forth that the

treaty is q fair bargain for both pow
ers. Only in eight eases, he points out
has there been a reduction OF twenty
per cent and in no instance to the det-
riment OF an industry and labor. The

after the several reductions (Which ap-
ply only to France) are sufficient. he
says. fully to protect the American
producer.
The French treaty win expire In 'cur
days unless an extension should be
agreed upon by the two governments,
No doubt exists at the French em-
bassy Of the willingness OF the French
government TO extend the time OF rati-
flcation for the year proposed.

the meat bill. Three Of them expressed
themselves on the subject;
The passing of the law in its present
form" said one packer, would restrict
our exports TO Germany, Uuder the
terms Of the bill, lard, hams and bacon
which may be inspected easily would
not be affected much, But canned
meats and sausages, which cannot be
inspected without being destroyed,
would be excluded. This would reduce
our exports of meat products to Ger
many 40 to so per cent.
Germany would be injured by the
bill as 1t would raise the prices of food
and that country would find that there
would be retaliation on some of its pro-
ducts.
There is no question In regard to
the injurious effects Of the bill" said
another. at practically would exclude
all our canned meats and sausages
from Germany. where we have had a
fairly good market for these products.
But the question is not yet decided and
I do not believe that the bill in its pres
ent form viii become q law"
The passing of the bill would be
just as bad for Germany as it would be
for this country, said third packer.
ut would prevent US from sending our
canned meats to Germany and it would
cause a serious increase in the cost OF
meats in Germany. thus causing suf-
fering and hardship among the poorer
classes of that country. l don't be-
lieve. however. the bill will become a
