The speaker raised one hand, with a

though he fondly hoped that the obliv-j

FRIENDSHIP OF GERMANY
AMBASSADOR VONHOLLE NDE-
 CLARES IT'S SINCERE.
Says the Relations of Germany and the United States Were Never Better or Moro COrdial-His Country Has No Intention of Acquiring a Coaling Station in South Americas Reports Started by Enemies.

Washington, Nov 18.-Herr Won Hol- 1enben, the German ambassador to the United States, has just returned to Washington from his summer vacation of his post here. His axcellency, when interviewed here to-day seemed to be in excellent spirits and much benefited by his leave of absence and by the com- plete rest from his responsible work When asked about the existing rela- tions between Germany and the United States he said:
 tThey have never been better or more cordial. The great sorrow which came to your country through the tragedy in Buffalo has greatly aroused the sympa- thy of the German people who are so closely united to the people of the United States by the many ties of blood and friendship. Just as in private life we think more of friend whom fate has made to suffer severely, so the Ger man people have been brought nearer to those of the United States through the latter country's great misfortune. MT. McKinley's great qualities in pri- vate life, as well as his great states manship, shown in his dealing With public affairs, have always been thor oughly understood and appreciated.
 My own countrymen, continued the ambassador, Hook up to your new chiv- alrous president with admiration and full confidence, admiring the country at the same time which can produce man of such high qualities as your chief executive"
 The ambassador before leaving Ger many had been received by his majesty the emperor, who instructed him to convey to MT. Roosevelt his majesty's most friendly greetings, and best wish es for the success of his administration.
 My sovereign" the ambassador said, 'has the most frank admiration for America's progress and the most cor dial and friendly feelings for the United States. His majesty has, as you know, just shown once more how he appre- ciates American skill and workmanship in having a yacht built in the United States. All talk that his majesty de- sires to bring the European nations to- gether in a challenge of America pro- gresS in the commercial world IS or course without foundation"
 Before closing the interview his ex- cellency said: q have one more thing to say You are without doubt aware that at regular intervals reports ap- pear in the newspapers to the effect that Germany is trying to acquire coal ing stations, or foothold of some kind, in South America. or in the West In- dian waters. These stories are started again and again by our enemies who don't like to see us on too friendly terms with the United States. l can tell you now that I am officially author ized to state that Germany has no such purpose. I want to deny, now, once for all, these ever recurring reports in an emphatic and unqualified way. have told this to the president, who was especially gratif1ed by it.''

RIDlCULED AT HARVARD
STORYOF FINELIGIBILITY OF CAMP
 BELL, CUFFS AND HERMAN.
Arc Too Ridiculous to Notice--No Pro- test Received from Yale and None Ex- pected-A Case of Mistaken Identity It Was Captain CnmpbeIl's Brother Who Coached nt Worcester Academy.

Cambridge, Mass. Nov 1s.-W. T. Reid, head coach of the Harvard foot ball team tonight made the following statement in regard to the proposed protesting of Campbell, Herman and Cutts by Yale. as set forth in New Haven paper:
 '"The charges are, to my mind, too ridiculous to notice and I do not believe that Yale has any such intention. We have received absolutely no protest concerning any member of the Harvard tenn and do not expect to. The only cause that I can see for these stories is one of mistaken identity. Campbell, believe, has a brother who has coached at Worcester academy. Cutts is per- fectly free from professionalism of any sort. The story about Herman I con- slider quite groundless. If Yale had any such intention I do not believe she would have waited so long before mak- ing her protest"
 Captain Campbell was also interview ed He supported Coach Reid's state ment in every particular.
 IO-HlgHL ne gave out the IOllOWlnB statement: "Cutts is entirely eligible for the football team of either Harvard or Yale under the rules which prevail at both universities There is no ques- ton of professionalism, and has been none. The management has not receiv- ed a protest from Yale. MT. Cutts was in intercollegiate athletics three years at Bates college, taught mathematics at Haverford preparatory school, and is now in the second year of the Harvard law school"
 The undergra duates had an enthu- siastic rehearsal of songs during the dinner hour at Memorial hall tonight.
 The Harvard football practice to-day was not very encouraging. The var sity was able to score only two touch- downs and a goal from the field from the 25-yard line by Marshall in twenty minutes of play. Herman and Ristine both played for the first time since re- ceiving their injuries and showed poor form on account of lack of practice. The backs started slowly and were rag ged in their formation, although they did not tumble. All the men with the exception of Blagden and Campbell played their regular positions. Camp bells knee is getting along and he en- gagged in signal practice with the rest of the team while Blagden has returned to the training table. The defense of the varsity to-day was weak.

 Ian and Colombian Troops

Maracaibo, Nov. IS (via Willemstad and the Haytien Cable).-In view of the heavy rains in the Cordilleras, an armistice of three weeks between the Venezuelan and Colombian troops on the frontier has been arranged. The town of Cucuta is inundated. The floods have caused great destruction and a number of lives have been lost. In some places the railroad from the head of Maracaibo lake to the interior is several yards under water.
 General Uribe- Uribe has been called to Caracas and has gone to the island of Curacoa on his way there.
 Willemstad, Island ot Curacoa, Nov 1S-Owing to the very strict censorship maintained in Venezuela, it is impossi- ble to learn details of the Venezuelan Colombian armistice. Because of the flooded condition of the frontier coun- try news of this agreement comes out slowly. It is reported that this armis- tice was also signed between the Co., lombian liberal revolutionists and the Colombian government and that it will terminate November 20.

KAISER ON WARSHIP BUILDING.
Declares the Gelleys of old Wore Su-
 perior in Gun Fire.


 Berlin, Nov. 1S.-Emperor William to- day participated in the debate of the Society of Naval Engineers on the sub ject of placing heavy guns on battle- ships and its effect upon their design and construction.
 His majesty referred to the influence of military requirements upon the de- velopment of ship construction and ar- tillery, and pointed out how the aim of Germany had always been to allow the opinion of the officers who had to navi- gate ships to have as much weight and influence as possible on the shipbuilder and the constructor.
 The emperor, illustrating his conten- ton that tactical requirements inf1u- enced the construction of ships of war, said the time of the galleys had seen great development in the matter of boat fire. and that the galleys were superior in this respect to later battleships. He instanced the battle of Lepanto as the greatest wherein galleys had been en- gagged. and said Don Juan, of Austria, had brought his galleys into action in half-moon forma ton and had destroyed +be enemy's fleet by the superiority of their bow fire.
 Germany was also the first nation to place a captain still on the active list at the head of the construction bureau.
 Emperor William concluded his re- marks with the following anecdote: "some fifteen or twenty years ago my interest in and zeal for naval questions led me to approach an old naval officer and request of him an explanation Of the metacenter of vessel. He answer ed that he himself did not exactly know what this was, and, besides, it was secret. He could only tell me that if the metacenter was in the main truck 4ha uessel would capsize."

WILL NOT PROTEST.
Yale VIII Probably Let the Matter of Hnrvnrd's Athletes Drop.

Yale VIII Probably Let the Matter oi Hnrvnrd's Athletes Drop. 1 At the quarters of the Yale coachers | at the New Haven house last night it was stated that there was nothing new about the question of the Harvard ath- letes who are alleged to be ineligible,
 and that no protest would be made to Captain Campbell of the Harvard team.
 The practice of the varsity team yes-
 terday consisted of signal work only,
 there being no line up. To-day some of
 the members of the team will get in the lineup, but only very few. It Is expected that a short secret practice
 will be held this afternoon previous to
 the regular practice. Tomorrow,
 Thursday and Friday there will be
 work behind closed doors. the practice on the last day being held in the morn ing. Jim Rogers, captain of the '97 team, and Malcom Mcbride, captain of the '99 team, were at the field yesterday and will remain to help out Head Coach Stillman until after the game with Harvard. These two men will be of great value to the team. Rogers will pay special attention to the tackles and Mcbride will take care of the backfeld. Weymouth will be his special pupil, and it is expected that his work during the week will improve greatly. The second and third teams were put through about twenty minutes of hard work yesterday and their work was fast Indications point to a big Yale crowd in Cambridge Saturday. About 1,500 students will take the trip besides thousands of other people who will support the blue.

HOPE FOR MISS STONE.
Measuring News from Mir. Dickinson- --
 Communicating with Brigands.

l | mmunicating with Brigands. Washington, Nov. 18.--Another cable
 gram received to-day from United
 States Consul General Dickinson at So- fla indicates that, while Miss Stone has
 not yet been ransomed, there is reason | for feeling treasured as to her future. The dispatch furnished evidence that MT. Dickinson remains in indirect com munication with the brigands or their agents
 Sofia, Nov. 18-Another letter has been received from Miss Ellen M. Stone. Her health has been somewhat affected by her continual confinement and hard fare but she expresses herself as still confident of ultimate release.
 A letter to MT. Dickinson, diplomatic agent of the United States at Sofia, re- plying to his proposals concerning a ransom, says the brigands will hold out for a figure very much above the sum at MT. Dckinson's command
 The brigands interpret MT. Dickin- son not having fixed on the sum he Is willing to pay and on time limit as being indicat tions that he can get more money. They also demand immunity from prosecution. But it is impossible for the diplomatic agent of the United States here to have power to bind the governments of Bulgaria and Turkey. This point, however, is not likely to be a serious obstacle in the way of the ne- gotiationS.
