RESIGNATION OF
DANISH MINISTRY
Means that United States VIII Not
Get Danish West Indies,
THEY WILL GO TO GERMANY
Under Long Lease-Agreement Had
Been Made 10 Sell TO America
Tor sl,000,000.
lEarly Dispatched

New York, March 2i-A special to
the World from Washington says
The resignation OF the Danish cabinet
means two things OF Importance TO the
United States.
First: II Is improbable that this coun-
try viii be able TO buy the Danish West
Indies for four million dollars as pro-
vlded for in the Gardner bill. now be-
fore the foreign relations committee OF
the House, or for any other sum.
Second: By the time this Congress
adjouns the German flag will be flying
over the islands Of ST. John and 81.
Thomas Of the Danish West Indies
group by right Of lease from the Dan
lsh government to the emperor Of Ger
many.
Negotiations between this government
and Denmark for the purchase OF the
Islands were practically terminated by
the resignation OF the Danish ministry
headed by Prime Minister Hoerring.
The cabinet resigned because OF the
great popular uprising against the sale
Of the Danish West indies TO the United
States.
King Christian and the cabinet OF
Denmark had consented 20 sell the ISL
ands to this country for A,0OO0OO' II
was stipulated however, that the sale
should be made before the adjourn
ment Of the present session OF congress.
The Gardner bill was introduced at the
instance OF the President and Secretary
Hay, and had II been acted upon speed
lly, or even considered the cabinet
might have been forced TO resign, but
the bargain arranged would have been
carried out.
The new cabinet Will be made up Of
Danish politicians In favor Of retaining
the Islands.
In 1867 a contract OF sale between the
United States and Denmark for these
islands was entered into. The price
was TO be $500. 600 The treaties failed
bv the refusal Of the United States SEN
ate to ratlfy them.
Germany has been trying 70 secure
the islands; and while It is the deter
minatlon Of Denmark not 10 sell them
TO any other country and not 20 sell
them 10 the United States II ii can be
avoided, an option for a lease for long
term OF years has been given 90 Ger
many for the islands Of St Thomas and
81. John. II the United States does not
buy them Germany will lease them aud
get control Of the magnificent harbor at
St John
