The interview between the Kaiser and An
unnamed Engl shman published BY the Dali
" Telegraph has aroused extraordinary in
terest, and there is some apprehension of what
may be the result of the disclosures, especial
" the prop sal of Fla1ce and Russia to Ger
many to summon England to end the Beer
war, amounting to a suggestion OF q JOINT
intervention.
A communicate from the German Foreign
Office SAYS the facts are essentially correct,

interview with reserve, but no official deui-
al is obtainable the newspapers however
comment npon the subject very blunt
" and inform the Kaiser that his
overtures are lnistrusted, because they are
Inconsistent with German policy, for instance
his alleged assistance against he Beers is
contrasted with his telegram TO President
KrGger, aud the obstruction of the Russo
French thorts 10 hinder and ~iIumiiiate Eng
land Is attributed to the necessity af Ger
manv's policy rather than to any sentimental
reasons.

Salisbury. Altogether the kaiser's words
are adapted to offend Germans, pleas
ing on'y a few.
