Berlin, Feb. 2.-Excepting a few nb-
eral papers like the Vossische Zeitung
md Tageblatt, the German press has in
no way received the advances of the
oritish press this week graciously. Nine
,enths OF the press persist in pretending
that the German Emperors visit was a
mere matter of fiiial piety. and that tho
aonors mutually conferred there were
solely meaningless civil ties In no wiss
.ouching or influencing the sentiments of
he two nations toward each other, nor
seconciling their conflicting interests.
While for a couple of days after the
lueen's death, even the Anglophobe press
Kept a truce. during the last half Of the
week the press began to speak out openly
spon the subject of Anglo German rela-
ions, as existing upon King Edwards
accession. The Kreuz Zeitung to-day ridi-
uies the London Daily Telegraph's pro-
'sal for moral entente between Ger
many ana England, adding:
IF the anu-European economic atti-
tude of the United States continues seri-
Gus differences viii ensue, in which Eng
and likewise perforce win Join against
The United STATES, which threatens TO be
much more formidable opponent ,han
Germany. But Germanys economic in
terests would nevertheless remain an
tagonistic to England and Germany in
no case would join England in lighting
thC Cmted States economically. nor would
England expect that, fearing thereby pos
sibiy 10 suengthen Germany. her rival.
Germany in such case would be tertius
gaudens."
The Hcriin Neueste Nachrichten to-day
prints att editorial rather friendly toward
england, bur points out enormous diff

once aud Tor ali drop her old supercilious-
ness ana recognize Germany as her full

The Neueste Nachrichten and the Ham

| " blaming the Emperor for his prolong-

semi i-ofiicial press during the week has
been rigidly silent, and is evidently await
ing the Emperor's return and intimat ton.

tons, has secuted the idea Of an Anglo

The German press publishes from Ma

| ton is far off. The losses of Americans
are said to be much greater than official
ly admitted. Americans now treat the
Fiiipnos, 1t is said, no better than tho
Spanish did. The letters also mention al
