Critics Of Great Britain.

Berlin, Feb. S.--The critics OF Great
Britain here are disposed to let Lord
Pauncefote's note Of April IA, 1898, drop
with the explanation, cabled from
Washington, but nothing unfrlendly to
the United States was meant thereby.
They say the fact stands that Great
Britain did intimate second proposal
for q European renonstrance, The ex-
PLANTATION that President Mckinley was
privy to Lord Pauncefote's purpose and
approved the British appeal before it
was made, is not accepted here AZ per-
son who Is In a position to know the
opinion Of the German foreign office
said: 1--WE are dsncllned TO discuss
Lord Pauncefotes motives. We simply
nail the fact that Lord Pauncefote took
a step unpleasant for the United States
and II was Germany's refusal to par
ticipate that frustrated the movement,
Moreover, documentary proof that
Great Britain took such step exists In
the files of European cabinets.
