THE KAISER'S SPEECH
COMMENT AT BERLIN OVER HIS
REMARKS AT TANGIER.

BERLIN. April 1.-The correspondent OF
the vossische Zeitung at Tangier under
yesterdays date gives another version Of
Emperor Williams utterances there. He
says the emperor, replying to the address OF
the members of the German colony. said:
'In an independent country such as Mo-
rocco, commerce must be free. / will do
my best to maintain it's politico-economic
equity. There is no predomnating infiu-
ence here
The emperor's significant words produced
a lively impression here.
The LokaI Anzieger, in a dispatch from
Tangier, says that in replying to the mem
bers of the German colony Emperor Will
ance of the pioneers of Germany in Morocco
and to tell them that they had done their
duty. They must remain united and con-
tinue to fulfill their duty under the en-
perors protection.
Germany had great commercial interests
in Morocco. Her trade was advancing graf
ifyingly. He, the emperor. would make it
his business to promote this trade, which
was only possible on the assumption of the
eighty of the sultan and the independence
of land. His visit was a recognition of this
indepe ndence.
The speech the Lokal Anzeiger adds, ere
ated an immense impression in the foreign
colony at Tangier, and especially among the
natives, who now refer to the emperor as
the protector Of the independence of Mo-
rocco.
Great political significance, it Is further
asserted, is attached to the fact that the
German charge d'affaires accompanied the
German emperor to Gibraltar.

spain's King Prefers to Wed Rich
American Girl

Special Cablegram to The Sunday Star.
MADRID, April 1.-The young king is de-
veloping a hayward disposition, which is
causing endless trouble to his ministers.
He consented to his projected visit to
Paris only on one condition, which was
granted after every method Of persuasion
failed to divert him from his purpose.
that is, that he be allowed one day on
which to go around absolutely unattended
and do whatever he liked without restraint
or espionage.
He insisted that he wants to see Paris as
1t is. and not merely from royal stand
point. He talks freely. not to say fippant-
ly, about matrimonial projects that are
now being promoted in his behalf. and he
startled his ministers few days ago BY
emphatically expressing the opinion that
the best match for him would not be
tame young German or Austrian princess
but an American girl with some millions
to her credit, who would not add to the
burdens of state by requiring big civil
list and who, If a revolution should drive
him into exile, would have money sufficient
to maintain their position.
Besides" he is reported to have added,
"she would certainly be clever. and most
important Of all to me, handsome"

cause the government to give away any
