OUR GOOD WILL
Hopes Won Sternberg
Will Win American
Friendship.

BERLIN, Jan. 10.-Baron Speck Won
Sternberg, the newly appointed Charge
dAffaires of Germany at Washington,
two hours to-day. He was in conference
with the Chancellor for an hour yester-
DAY evening. The Baron Will be received
in audience by the Emperor on Tuesday
or Wednesday. He has engaged trans
portation on the Hamburg-American line
steamer Auguste Victoria, which is to sail
from Hamburg on January 20 for New
York.
The Cologne Gazette to-day. in an ap-
parently inspired statement, denies that
ambassador Won Hol1eben's retirement
ident Roosevelt's refusal to arbitrate the
Venezuelan dispute or to the alleged i'll
feeling in the United States toward Ger
many.
I'm spite of the unfriendly comments in
the American press" the Gazette says,
1.-The attitude of the United States and
the President toward Germany has al
ways continued very correct-in fact,
friendly"
The statement also says that DIR. Won
HoIleben's leave of absence is mot con-
nected with the Pauncefote affair"
Baron Speck Won Sternberg will be
given ample rank. He will not be sim
pie Charge dAffaires, but from the be-
ginning will have a special rank, prob
ably that of ambassador Extraordinary,
so that although Herr Won Holleben will
retain for an indefinite period the title of
ambassador to the United States, Baron
Won Sternberg will really have rank

equal or superior to that of DR.. Won HoI-
leben.
Since the Emperor has been giving es-
pecial attention to Germany's relations
with the United States he has said on
two or three occasions, it is understood,
that Germany ought to be represented at
Washington by personality which would
win the regard of the American people,
as well as the confidence of the American
Government. The Emperor on one occa-
sion alluded to the personality of Wu
Ting Fang, the former Chinese Minister
at Washington, as being of exceptional
value to China. One of Chancellor Won
Bulow's considerations in recommending
the appointment of the Baron was that
the latter was not a new man in Wash
ington, but one who already had an as
sured place in the respect of the Presi-
dent. Secretary Hay and other members
of the administration.
The appointment seems to have come as
a complete surprise to Baron Won Stern
berg, for he had already started for Cal
cutta when telegram caught him in
Paris. He added that he was very much
pleased to return to the United States
and the friends he had left there only
three weeks ago.
Baron Won Sternberg was born in
Leeds. England, and did not see Germany
until he was z years old. His father was
a naturalized EngIishman and his mother
was Miss Shaw of Yorkshire.

STARS AND STRIPES WAVE
FOR MRS. CHAMBERLAIN
Colonial Secretary's Utterances Cause
Feeling of Uneasiness in South
Africa

LONDON, Jan. 1O-Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's tour Of South Africa is be-
ginning to attract greater attention Both
at Pretoria and at johannesburg he re-
ceived great ovations, an interesting fea-
ture of which was the intermingling Of
stars and stripes and union jacks as a
compliment to Mrs. Chamberlain. The
Secretarys outspoken replies to the
Beers suggestions. however, are creating
a certain feeling Of uneasiness among the
Government supporters here, who public
ly and privately express doubt whether
any good will come of the trip.
Briefly. Chamberlain so far has not only
declared practically that no further con-
cessions can be made by Great Britain,
but he has also upbraided the Beers for
their lack Of appreciation of what Great
Britain has already done. To use the
expression Of a paper which has always
been his warm supporter, Chamberlain
has ALLOWED himself TO be drawn early
in the game"

Lecture on spiritualism.

DR.. Alexander ]. McIvor-Tyndall. the
famous thought reader, will lecture to-
night at Elks' Hall, 223 Sutter street. at
s o'clock. on 1.-THE Truth About Spiritual
ISM" This lecture is not one of the Sc
ries which will begin next Sunday at the
same hall. 1t is open to the general
public and there will be no reserved
seats. Whether or not there is any truth
in the claims Of spiritualists regarding
spirit communication is a question that is
being discussed very thoroughly at the
present time. Spiritualists claim that
their philosophy is increasing among in
telligent people and others regard it as a
superstition that is bound to be dispeIed
by the light of scientific truth. Just
what theories and opinions are held by
Dr. McIvor-Tyndall, who has had unusual
opportunities to study the alleged phe-
nomena, will interest many thinkers.

MONTEYIDIO. Uruguay, Jan 1o.-seri-
Gus differences between Italy and Uru-
quay have arisen because Of a clash
which has occurred between the author
ities and Captain Balestrini Of the Italian
bark Maria Mandre. A German firm es-
tablished IN Paysandu chartered the
Maria Nsnore some time ago TO take a
cargo OF hides TO Europe. For some rea-
son the captain did not start on his voy-
age and the hides remained on board the
vessel for about three months The Ger
man firm sued Captain Bslestrinf and the
courts placed an embargo upon the Maria
Mandre.
Captain BaIestrini received the officials
sent 70 take charge Of the vessel with
much theatrical display. He covered the
deck with an Italian flag and declared
that any attempt by the officials to go
on board the ship would be an assault
upon the flag Of the King Of Italy.
The officers managed TO get aboard the
vessel without touching the flag. They
ordered the captain and crew out Of the
ship and sealed up all the cabins.
The Italian Minister at Buenos Ayres,
Argentina. who also represents his Gov
eminent IN Uruguay, then took up the
controversy, declaring that the Uruguay
an authorities had violated the Italian
Gag and had exceeded their rights in ex-
pelling Italian citizens from their right
ful homes.
Many notes have already been ex-
changed between the italian Minister and
the Foreign Office. The Uruguavan au-
thorities are disposed to return the cap
tain and his crew TO the Maria Mandre,
but only after making an inventory Of
al its belongings, while the Italian Min
lister insists upon an unconditional re-
turn.
There are reports afoat that there will
be demonstration by Italian warships
In Uruguayan waters. 1t is understood
that the Italian Government has resolved
70 send the cruisers Puglia, Crisoforo and
Dogah 10 Uruguay. The three vessels
VIII start within few days.

LONDON, Jan. 1O.-Now that the mag
nihcence Of the durbar has gone, people
are counting the cost. Including the bill
the Indian Government Will have to pay
and the expenditures incurred by the In
dian Princes and chiefs and the English
Governor and Lieutenant Governor, 1t is
safe to say that at least SO, 100000 has
been spent in furnishing this spectacle,
unique in the annals Of the world.
The Indian Governments bill is likely
TO exceed S3,750,o0 600. The cost TO Lord Cur
zOn personally has been very great, for
large numbers Of guests were entertained
by him entirely at his own expense. The
expenses of the native Princes and chiefs
vary greatly, from 100000 said to have
been spent by the Nizam of Hy-
derabad to $4,000. for which sum
minor chiefs were able to make
but an Indifferent display. When
it is remembered that the number of
these Princes and chiefs reaches nearly
100 the total expenses may be approx
mated. The Governors of Madras and
Bombay and the Lieutenant Governors Of
various provinces found ii possible by the
exercise Of careful European supervision
10 keep down the cost of their camps to
about $4,000
OF the various events the proclamation
o. the durbar was undoubtedly the most

picturesque, while the natives appreciated
the fireworks most of all. The state en-

example of organization It is wonderful
that no accidents occurred during the
long procession Of elephants. carriages,
horse and foot through the streets
Lord CurzOn is to be warmly congratu-
lated on the result of his hard work. but
the general comment is that it is unfor-
/ tunate his power stops short of securing
popularity. His manner is excessively ar
rogant. Visitors accustomed to King Ed
wards court declare that according to
dispatches there is more bowling and
scraping in a week at Delhi than in a life
time in London. The affability and gra-
ciousness of the Duke and Duchess of
Connaught afforded the pleasantest con-
trast to the manner Of the Viceroy
