A FAMILIAR STORY.

WASHINGTON, April 2l.-With refer.
ence to the telegram from Rio Janeiro,
credited to federalist newspapers, about
certain alleged German. aspirations in
Southern Brazil and Uruguay, the Ger
man ambassador authorized a distinct
denial of the salient features Of tho dis.
patch. He recognizes this story as an
old acquaintance, which he met for the
first time 26 years ago, when he was
in those countries. Periodically since
that time the same story has appeared
in one form or another. The ambassa-
dor ridiculss the idea that the Germans
in the territory. chiefly occupied by
them have any intention or desire to
organize = rebellion against the exist.
ing government. Even if: that desire
exists, the ambassador points out, the
German population in South Brazil and
Uruguay lis not likely to successfully
carry out such:a plan.
