New-York tribune., 1903-03-20

Germany could have achieved more in venes-
ueia. He said:
Professor Hasse ts net satisned with material
satisfaction. He wants special act Of expis-
had in mind Does ne wish President Castro to
send an expiatory prince? I admit got enough
with the Chinese expiatory prince.
Loud laughter followed the chancellors last
remark.
Continuing the Chancellor rejected Lord Rose
eery's statement in the British House Of Lords
that Germany got twelvefold mere from Venez-
uela than England got He added:
Lord Roseberys calculation was mathemah-
calIy and politically incorrect. The advantages
have been pretty equally distributed generally
and in the Venezuela affair In particular. Ac-
cording to my opinion we got all out or Venez-
uela that the circumstances permitted. An at
tempt to accomplish more would. in view Of
and according to my Judgment or tnternatlona4
politics. have been q mistake.
The Chancellor denied Baron Won Hertlings
assertion that part Of the Germans in Venezuela
complained Of the cold water application which
we made TO Venezuela" because the foreign
merchants there got the advantage Of Ger
rnany's course. ''It was best" said the Chan
ceIlor before beginning military steps. that We
exhaust every possibility Of securing a peace
able settlement, and. having begun them that
we keep within reasonable and moderate lin
it's" The Chancellor added:
Professor Hasse and Herr Oertel made sharp
attacks representative at washington.
had already caused denial to be printed IN
the North German Gazette that Baron Won
Sternburg used the language attributed to nir1'
especially that he did not say Prince Bisnarcks
policy was antiauated. nor that g. minister
should represent the interests OF the country 10
which he Is accredited as well as the interests
of his own country. The journalists misun-
derstood Baron Won Sternburg, as he explained
in his report to the Foreign once I must beg
the members not to attack the German repre-
sentative at so important 6 post as washington
for matters which later prove untrue:
Professor Hasse also mentoneo tnst b@1on 5n
titions Of ministers to marry forelgners
have been treated differently at dinerent times
which is only natural. Such cases cannot De
aII decided by the same formula The prfn-
cfpIe has been held, especially under count Won
Caprivi, that German diPlonatlS9e nus Lary a
only a German woman Prince BISMARCK efn-
phasized the same principle out ne permItteo
numerous exceptions.
GERMAN DIPLOMATS AMERICAN WIVES.
The Chancellor then mentioned cases where
Prince Bismarck allowed distinguished German
diplomatists to marry foreigners. He referred
to the case of General Count Won SchWeinitz,
who was German Ambassador at St Peters
burg and quoted Prince Btsmarck's letter CIV
ing him permission to marry an American as
follows:
Schweinftz to marry an American would eX-
ercise an extremely unfavorab!e influence upon
relations with the DnlIeQ STATES WHICH
have been so carefully promoted There are
enough tendencies at work against US IN Amer
lea. and our refusal would be utilized in
hostile sense
ct believe therefore, Won Bulow continued
that we can apply the same principle to our
nresent representative ct Washington. Prince
Bismarck took the greatest care to foster good
relations with America, and our oversee In
ferests are to-day much more weighty than in
the seventies or eighties, and nobody can dis
pute that our relations with America are just
as important now"
