The German foreign Office has s.n.
to the following official declaration on
the subject:
1.-The notices which have appearea
hitherto in the foreign press in regard
to the Hill affair have originated IN
the erroneous impression that IL wac

Hills appointment. This has never
been thought of. 1t is true that doubt.
subsequently arose as to whether Mr.
Hill would feel himself comfortable in
the post of American ambassador to
Berlin, but these doubts have been re-
moved, so that nothing stands in the
way of Mr.. Hills nomination to the

President Roosevelts difficulties in
meeting the emperor's inclination, ana
furthermore, Ine unpleasant effect the
whole controversy was having upon
American public opinion.
The German foreign Office since res
terday morning has sent number OF |
lengthy dispatches to the emperor ct
Venice through Baron Jenisch, the
representative of the foreign sflw,
who is with the emperor.
AS soon as a definite indication o.
the emperors wishes was received BY
the secretary for foreign affairs, Herr
Won Schoen, the secretary and Am
bassador Tower had long conference
at the foreign Office, at which the en-
tire subject was gone over. At the
conclusion of the conference Secretary
Won Schoen cabled the foregoing state
ment to the German ambassador At
Washington and additional expansF
lions. Ambassador Tower also cabled
to the state department the fullest de-
tails of all that had been done.
The aim of the German office is to
close the incident in a manner salts
factory to the president and to the
people of the United States. At first
the foreign office, which is sensitive
on any question relating to the en-
peror, was inclined to believe that
general denial of the statement that
the emperor declined to receive d.
Hill as ambassador might quiet the
situation pending a leisurely settle
ment.
q 1t is certain that If DR.. Hill comes
to Berlin as the American ambassador
he will be most cordially Welcomes
and given every attention by the en-
peror and the German government.
