Germany Held AlOof.

'The FIRST meeting 10 consider the
matter was called by the British am
bassador under instructions from Lon
don. In conference were The represen-
tatives Of England. France, italy, and
Austria. The Russian amba ssadOr was
abroad Four dys before the meeting
was called, Dr. Won Holleben, the Ger
man ambassador. received "a note from
the Emperor. fo-bidding him 10 be a
party to this movement, and formally
recognizing the right OF the United
States TO interfere between Spain and
Cuba. At the first meeting of the dip
lomatic representatives the German
ambassador presented the note and
stated his position. The proposed pro-
test was promptly modified and became
a mild expression Of hope that war
might be aycrted.
About the same time Emperor Will
lam conveyed 10 OLrd Salisbury in un-
mistakable language his approval of
spain and Cuba At the time these

Facts Finally Came Out.
Diplomatic history is usually not con-
temporaneOus. Il was four years after
the historic meeting in the White House
or in 1892, when published diplomatic
correspondence revealed to the world the
great service which the German En-
peror rendered to the United States In
that emergency. But the incident was
only anrther link in that chain of
friendship which began in the DAYS
when the struggling colonies were fight
ing for the very life Of republican gov
ernment. and which has been completed
link by link through every phase of our
couutry's history and development

brotherhood the interests of Germany

tions will continue TO grow stronger and
