ence Unwarranted.

| Berlin, Feb. 5.-The German foreign
office confirms the substantial accuracy
of the statement which the Krouz Zei-
tung prints today relative to Germany s
course toward the United States during
the war with Spain. In brief the state
ment is to the effect that after Ger
many had refused Spain's request to
lead the action against the United
States for protection of the monarchic
principle and had refused Austria pro-
posal to intervene. together with sew
eral other attempts in which the pope
was active, Germany instructed its am
bassador at Washington to join the step
proposed by Austria only in case all
other 1--WE powers participated. The
statement charges that after the deliv-
cry of a collective note at Washington
Great Britain's ambassador, on April
Ii, proposed new collective note in
which the powers should declare that
Europe regarded Americas armed in
PREVENTION in Cuba as unjustifiable, but
this step also failed thru Germany's
positive refusal.
London, Feb. 5.-The Associated
Press has the highest official authority
for denying the Krouz Zeitung story as
to the part taken by the British ambas-
sador, Pauncefote, in spite of the con-
of the story by the German
foreign office.

KANSAS FILES BRIEF.
Wants Colorado Restrained from Using
Water from River

Washington. Feb. 5.-The brief of the
state of Kansas in the proceedings of
that state against the state of Colorado,
TO restrain the latter in the use of wa
ter from the Arkansas river. was filed
in the United States supreme court
yesterday. The document covers $50
printed pages. 1t is stated that the di-
version of the waters of the Arkansas
affects 100000 acres of land in Kansas
worth S50,000,000 and that much OF
this land is owned by the state itself
II is set forth that it would be imprac-
ticable for individual owners to insti-
tute proceedings, and it is contended
that Colorado not only as party in
interest, but as the party responsible
for the creation of all ditch corpora
tons, is the proper respondent 1t is
asserted that there is no desire to in
Jure or harass the state of Colorado by
the proceedings, but that the only pur
pose of the suit is to protect the inter-
ests of Kansas.

johnson Loses Tax Suit.

Columbus. o., Feb. 5.-The supreme
court has put an end to Tom l.. John
sons effort to secure a higher appraise-
ment of the railway property of Ohio.
The court handed down decision sus-
tanning the demurrer of the attorney
general to his petition and dismissing
the same.
Johnson began his fight before the
state board of equalization of railway
property last fall. His contention was
that. this board was really board of
appraisement as we'll as equalization.
The board refused to increase the to-
tai appraisement, taking the position
that they had power simply to equalize
valuations among the different compa-
MES. They refused to make the in
crease, and Johnson went into the SUI
preme court. whose decision now given
seems to be final.
