the Danish West India Islands.
BERLIN, Dec. 2S.-The Frankfurter lei
which the writer says Germany intends
buying the Island of st. John for a coaling
station if Denmark's negotiations with the
United States should miscarry. The letter
refers to the organization of a German
syndicate for the purpose of acquiring land
on the Island of st. John, the syndicate in
GLIDING Herr Balm, director of the Ham
burg-American Steamship Company, and
further says the syndicate sounded the
Danish government some time ago regard
ing the acquisition of the island by Ger
many, and that Denmark answered that
she would be unable TO discuss the question
owing to the pending. negotiations with
the United States. Now, according to the
letter. the plan for German acquisition of
the island is approaching realization.
A representative of the Associated Press
showed q Foreign Office official the letter
referred to. In reply the official said Ger
many had never even remotely thought of
acquiring a West Indian island. He added
that she recognizes the United States would
have as just ground for objections thereto
as Germany would have if she heard the
United States was negotiating with Den
mark for the purchase of the Island of
Bornholm. The official admitted that it
may be true that German capitalists are
trying to purchase land on the Island of
St John, but he reiterated that the Ger
man government has absolutely nothing
to do with the project The Foreign Of
flee regards the letter as intended TO bring
pressure to bear the United States for
Fastening the purchase of the Danish An
TILES.

BERLIN, Dec. 2S.-The Kreuz Zeitung,
Conservative, the chief mouthpiece of the
government, whose editorials are often pre-
pared by government officials, devotes two
long articles to-day to the Nicaragua canal
controversy, pronouncing the Davis amend
ment to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty "a slap
for England"
Treaties could not be more recklessiy
brushed aside than they have been in this
case by the United States Senate, says the
Kreuz Zetung. "This disregard of the law
of nations, which had already been mani
tested during the peace negotiations with
Spain, is in the highest degree regrettable

In the country The administration could
not thus wound Yankee pride.
IF the President adopts the Senates po-
sition. England will have a moral right TO
prepare a Fashoda for the United States:
but. judging from previous experiences. she
will not do so. The present tone of the
British press toward the United States is in
striking contrast with its ferocious tone to-
ward France in 1893.
England Is not likely to play her strong
est trumps against the United States: but
if she were to do so she. and not the United
States, would be the sufferer. Fortune is
fickle.'
