A Refusal by Germany.

almost exactly four years ago the
Spanish ambassador here asked Ger
many whether Germany would lead
in actiom against the United States
for the protection of the monarchic
principle. The answer was a definite
refusal. and the same answer was
given a month later or about the
middle Of March, when the invitation
reached Germany to participate in
the Intervention undertaken upon the
initiative of Austria This was in the
weeks following the sad catastroph9
of the Maine. when it was believed
Intervention would facilitate an un-
derstanding between the Unite
States and Spain. Nevertheless, ou.'
government commissioned Herr Won
RadOwitz, the German ambassador II
Spain, to inform the Madrid govern
ment that Germany was not in a pa-
sition TO prevent the Spanish-Ameri-
can war.
After that several attempts were
made to win Germany. or the Drei-
bund for intervention, in which the
pope was especially active. The final
result was that DR. Won Holleben
German ambassador at Washington
was instructed to join in the step
proposed by Austria. only in case all
the other five great powers partici-
pated.
