Recognized German Policy.

Washington, April 10-Mr Merry,
the United States minister to Nicara-
qua, has informed the state depart
ment Of the establishment at Managua
of German consul-general with juris-
diction over consulates in Salvador,
Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
The establishment of this Office, says
Minister Merry, appears worthy of no.
tice as an indication Of the recognized
German policy in the development of
foreign commerce, and also probably
is due to the impression that the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal in
the near future will increase the i'm
portance of proper German represen-
tation in the vicinity.

slams a Royal Welcome to France.

Paris April 10.-The unexpected re.
turn of the Russian squadron to Nice
dwarfed interest in all other events in
the program at that place yesterday.
The news is on the lips Of everyone in
Paris, and joy is expressed by both
the public and the press. The intensity
of this qualification shows that great
numbers OF Frsnchmen had treated
with skepticism the explanation that
the withdrawal Of the squadron was
simply due to a desire not to be po-
litically identified with the Franco
Italian demonstration.
A section of the nationalist press
has carefully tostered this impression,
pursuing policy of Selling upon ev-
cry possible opportunity to embarrass
the government These organs had
asserted that the departure of the
Russians implied dissatisfaction on
the part of Emperor Nicholas with the
Franco-Italian reapproachment, and
heralded the breakup of the Franco
Russo alliance. A brooding feeling of
uncertainty was thus created, which
broke like a shell before the happy
tidings of the return of the Russian
squadron to Nillefranche, and was
transformed into expressions of ex-
ultant gladness.
The prevailing joy last evening was
epitomiZed in the following declara-
ton of lie Presse:
1T is with patriotic joy that all
Frenchmen learn to-day's great and
glad news. The departure of our al
lies had painfully impressed the coun-
try. We are now happily treasured.
The joyful emotion of the people of
Nice is shared by all patriots. No
more convincing PROOF could be given
of the vitality and strength Of the
Franco-Russian alliance, which had
been declared moribund somewhat too
early"
