THE SILLY GERMANS
TALK ABOUT AMERICA GOING To
WAR WITH GERMANY
BECAUSE OF NEWSPAPER TALK
OUR NEWSPAPER UTTERANCEs IR-
RIrATE THEM.

Scores of Papers Discuss Anti-Ger-
man Utterances in American
Press-A Lone Correspondent In
FranlSfurter ZeitunE Talks Sense.
Germany's Interests in Brazil Are
Merely Commercial, Says Baron
Rio BrancO, Brazilian Minister Mt
Berlin.
Berlin. June S.-Great Importance is at
tached here to anu-German utterances on
the part of the American press. Scores
of papers have referred to the subject this
week, but a correspondent of the Frank
furter Zeitung has been pointing out that
it is better not to attach such grave
weight TO the wholly unfettered utter
ances of the American press, declaring
that the Americans do not want war with
Germany, and saying they are thorough
ly peaceloving people The recent Chi
nese war, the correspondent adds, has
clearly demonstrated that the United States
is unwilling to plunge into foreign ad-
ventures, and the Washington administra-
tion is undoubtedly most friendly to Ger
many. as a number of recent acts show.
The correspondent next claims that the
German press is in part more unfriendly
to the United States. instanclng a num-
ber of cases.
Regarding the relations be
tween Germany and Brazil
VOID.-Run back a word or two.
the correspondent OF the Associated Press
has interviewed the Brazilian minister
here, Baron Rio Branco, who said in en-
phatic terms:
Germany has had no interests but
economic interests to serve in Brazil. This
is well known to the Brazilian govern
ment. The interest which Germany takes
in Germans in Brazil, who have nearly
oil acquired Brazilian citizenship, is legit-
innate and natural and largely because
they have remained good customers for
the German export trade"
Regarding politics. Baron Rio Branco
said:
While the Germans In the three south
ern provinces, Santa Catharina, Rio
Grande do Sui. and Parana. are numer-
Gus and exert a certain influence, the
Brazilian population is in the majority
and Brazilian political influence is domi-
nant. The Hanseatic Colonization Com
pany, which alone systematically eneour-
ages German immigration to the extep-
sive lands 1t has acquired. cannot find
Germans to settle there and has been
forced to send for Austrians Swiss, Rus
SLAMS, and even Beers.
THE talk about German designs upon
Brazil Is the merest twadde."

HAS HAD MANY ILLS
MRS. MckINLEY'S PHYSICIANS IS
SUE A STATEMENT.
DUE TO INFECTION OF BLOOD.
ONE DISEASE HAS FOLLOWED AN
OTHER RAPIDLY.

First Bone FeIOn, Then Severe Diar-
rhOea and More Recently EndO-
carditis, or Infia m mat tiOn of the
Lining Membrane of the Heart.
The Last Named Is Not Progressing
and There Has Been an Improve
ment in Her General Condition.
Her Case Now Presents "A More
Hopeful Aspect - Yesterday Was
Her birthday.
Washington, June s-Mrs. Mckinley s
physicians were in consultation about two
hours to-day, and subsequently a very
complete statement of the true character
Of her Illness from which she has been
suffering was issued. Such a statement
has been promised from time to time and
while in San Francisco it was said that
the President desired a fuller announce
ment of the nature of Mrs. McKinfey's S
illness given to the public. But for one
reason or another it has been withheld up
to the present time. The bulletin is as
follows:
Mrs. McKinley's illness has been a
blood infection resulting from periostitis
of the index finger Ozone felon) which be-
gan in Los Angeles and which was prompt
ly treated by incision. The subsequent
condition of exhaustion was due to the
same blood infection associated with very
severe diarrhoea. She improved, however,
and was brought home in comfort and
without loss of strength. The principal
cause of anxiety in her case since her
arrival in Washington has been acute
endocarditis Qndamma ton of the lining
membrane of the hearD involving the mi
trail valve, the result of the same blood
infection. This does not appear to be
progressive, and there has been an i'm
provement in the diarrhoea and in her
general condition Mrs. McKinley's case
at present presents a more hopeful as
pect."
The statement that Mrs. McKinley's
case al this time presents more hope
full aspect is the best word that has come
from the sick room since the arrival of
the distinguished patient in Washington.
The President feels considerably encour-
aged. To-day was Mrs McKinley's birth
day and many beautiful flowers and gifts
were left at the White House for her
The Belgian charge afaires called at
the White House to-day and presented

the King of the Belgians, expressing sym

White House at II 20 o'clock tonight af-
Ger visit that extended over two hours.
He said:
Mrs. McKinley's condition is about the
same as reported in this mornings bulle-
tin. She has rested very comfortably to-
day. There has been no material change
though possibly there has been a barely
perceptible Improvement. She is now
sleeping soundly.'

Mr. Lawson to-day issued the following

As Good Time as Amy for the
Move. Says Mr.. Erwin.

As Good a Time as Any for the
Move, Says Mr.. Erwin.
Macon. Ga, June SIN. speaking of the
latest move in the Greene-Gaynors case,
United States District Attorney Marion
Erwin, who has had charge of the case
FOR the government, said tonight:
Under Judge Lacombe's view of the
law, as he expressed himself to me when
I was last in New York, he was obliged
10 grant them an appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United States.
THE fact that the same persons as
ban who surrendered the defendants,
went on the new bonds for the same
amount pending the appeal to the Su-
preme Court, shows that the surrender
was merely an arranged affair between
the bail and the defendants in the inter
est Of the latter
While ] think the surrender of the de-
PENDANTS to the marshal of New York,
instead of to the marshal of Georgia in
the district, where the defendants were
TO be tried was irregular, am glad the
move was made at this time rather than
later.
1T will give the government the right
to have the Supreme Court of the United
States pass upon the question as to
whether the government is entitled to
remove defendants from New York on
a certified copy of the indictment in
stead of having to try the case on its
merits as We were forced to do before
we could get an order of removal. To
get this practice properly settled will be
worth great deal to the government.
u have no doubt the Supreme Court
viii dispose of the case promptly next
rail- which is about as soon as the case
could be tried in any event"

the bail bonds under which the four men
were held for their presence to stand trial
In Savannah.
The men were surrendered to the Gus

a few minutes later were taken before
Judge Lacombe on application for a writ

The application was denied by the judge
and Mr. Rose took an appeal. The bonds
