German Emperor's Note to
Nicaragua Purely Formal.
INTERVENTION NOT SOUGHT
Address "Great and Good Friend"
According to Custom.
NO C0ALINo STATION WANTED
Berlin Press Makes Much Of At
tempts to Cast Suspicion on Coun-
try's Latin-American Policy. j;

BERLIN. July 1.-THE foreign Office
has given the Associated Press an au-
thorized statement respecting the letter
Of Emperor William to President Madriz
Of Nicaragua. Reports have reached
Berlin that attempts were being made In
Endorsement by the emperor Of the Madriz
party.
The statement follows:
"Madriz gave notice of his election,
upon undertaking the presidency, to the
emperor in the usual written form. The
customary formal reply was prepared by
the foreign Office.
1T was not an autograph letter. but
was simply signed by the emperor. The
address, Great and Good Friend was
In accordance with official courtesy.
Any Intervention by Germany in Mica
raguan affairs neither followed nor is
intended. Germany neither sought, nor
designs to seek, a coaling station. Ru-
mors Of Germany's intentions toward
the Galapagos Islands are equally with
out foundation. as are all suggestions
that the German government has IN
any wise modified the cultivation of
friendly relations toward the United
States"
No Offer to Germany.
The reported otter by Madriz Of a coal
ing station to a European power II 1t
would intervene In Nicaragua was not
made te Germany. the foreign Office de-
ciared The Berlin press makes much Of
the attempts abroad to cast suspicion
On Gernany's Latin American policy.
Many journals affirm that an intrigue is
in progress against German good faith.
The emperor's letter was dated April
20 and said:
II am informed by your letter of the
9th of December of last year that your
sxcellency was elected president OF the
republic by the merited confidence OF
your fellow citizens. and that your ex-
cellency entered upon your most honor
able duties on the 21st 0f that month"
An expression of the usual diplomatic
good wishes and desire for the cultiva-
ton of good relations between the two
countries followed.
oMcials Did Not Worry.
The State Department from the first

communication to DR.. Madriz by the

Insignificant commercial interests in that
country, was hardly expected by this gov

the situation. Ohlcials Of the department
are unable to see any basis for the ex-
ploitation OF the action OF Germany.
At the time Madriz sent his letter of
notification to the German government
he sent a similar letter to Great Britain
and all other countries. The British
foreign once inquired at the American
legation in London as to the attitude
of the United States toward recognition
of Madriz. AS a result Great Britain
notified the American government that 1t
had postponed recognition of Madriz
until 1t should hear further from the
United States. France and Austria. how
ever, followed the example Of Germany
and accorded formal recognition to the
Madriz regime.

RUSSO-JAPANESE PACT
PUBLISHED TOMORROW
American interests Not Men,
aced by New Convention,
Says Toxic Press.

Through both the Japanese and the
Russian embassies in this city the State
Department has received the text Of the
Manchurian treaty signed July by M.
Iswolsky, minister of foreign affairs for
Russia. and by Baron Motono, Japanese
ambassador to st. Petersburg.
At the same time the department was
requested to keep the treaty confidential
until tomorrow morning, when it will be
published throughout the world
The treaty was drawn up on the initia-
tive of Japan to supplant the commercial
and tariff treaty made between those
countries twelve years ago. This is the
first Of the series of new treaties to be
drawn up by japan.
New American Treaty Next.
Work on the American treaty. to be
terminated July II. 1912. is under way
quietly Possibly a year will elapse be-
fore the preliminary draft is completed.
The object Of the Russo-Japanese
convention is to secure cooperation on
all questions arising in Manchuria. par
ticularly in connection with existing
and projected railroads. Both govern
ments agree upon a determination to
maintain status quo in Manchuria.

and to coordinate the railroad in

The regulation of the Eastern Chi.
nose Railway Corporation and the South
Manchurian Railway Corporation Is pro.
vided for as to different class OF ship!
ments and as to different ports, prin-
cipal among them being Dalny and
Vladivostok.
Negotiating Since April.
The latest Japanese mail received at the
State Department says that as far back
as April Baron Motono. following cabi-
net conference, set out for his post at
st. Petersburg and advised the Russian
government that Japan desired to con-
clude convention with reference to Man
churia- Russia Immediately assented, ex-
pressing a desire to extend the scope OF
the negotiations beyond Manchuria. Great
Britain. according to japanese mail. was
a party to the matter from the outset,
and was in sympathy with the purpose
of the convention.
Japanese newspapers declared that a
misunderstanding by Russis brought
about a quarrel between the two powers:
that Japan and the United States are
never likely to fall out. and that the
Washington government need not concern
itself about any extension OF the scope
of the Russia-Japan entente, as Americas
interests would not be injured, and that
China's distrust presents the only Obsta-
Gle to a complete understanding in the
Tar east.

many Of the leading capitalists OF the
city. had made up q fund to meet any
loss or losses that have or will come to
the company I'D to &I.OO0.000. This would
seem to indicate that the exact amount Of
Ropke's defalcations. which are thus
made good. will never be known, al
though rumors place il anywhere from
500. OCO to $4,000.
Accountants worked all last night over
the books of the banking department OF
the company. An announcement by the
president of the company. John W. Barr
admitted that the loss due to Ropkes OPP

fall upon the banking department

Heavy Plunge In Stocks.
Today's action Of the board of directors
was the first ofllcial inttmation that the
rumors fixing the amount OF the defaiea-
ton in the neighborhood Of half miiiten
dollars might have some basis.
Since his arrest, IL has come to light
that Ropke's specuiations on the New
York Stock Exchange and In local brek-
erage houses and In the bucket shops have
amounted to hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars annually. His operations were
so carefully concealed. however. that
only q small part Of them were generally

Taft's Endorsement of Loeb
Draws the fractional Lines

The advices from Beverly to the ef-
feet that William Loeb, tr.. got Presi-
dent Taft's o. X. to his gubernatorial
candidacy Is construed by New York
politicians in Washington to mean that
the issue Is now squarely drawn be-
tween the republican factions In New
York state for a fight to the finish, and
that Mr.. Loeb Is to be the standard
bearer OF the progressive republicans
as against the "old guard"
On one side will be the Hughes Taft
Roosevelt republicans. and on the other
the ultra -conservative upstate repub-
licans, under the leadership of William
Barnes. jr.. the boss Of Albany county.
How many of the petty chieftains will
align themselves with Barnes remains
to be seen. The next few weeks will
probably witness some lively maneu-
vering by the bosslets to fgure out the
prospective winning side.
State Chairman Woodruff and Speaker
Wordsworth and their faction are ex:
Of Buffalo. Kraacke of Brooklyn and
Parsons and Dennet Of New York will
follow the progressive banner.
Real Battle Ground.
The fight will come at the republican
state convention in the dictation Of a
platform, the selection Of a candidate
for governor and the reorganization of
the state committee. The talk in New
York the other day was that William
Barnes may be a candidate for state
chairman. representing his faction.
New York republicans look now for a
broadside from Col. Roosevelt, follow
Ing Gov. Hughes conference with him
this week. As Gov Hughes is going
on the Supreme bench. and probably
into the Chief Justices chair. his par
ticipation openly in politics will be
confined, IL 10 thought. TO making few
speeches in the campaign for the ticket
Col. Roosevelt and Mr.. Loeb will be
the militant figures In the contest. 1T Is
assumed. with President Taft and Gov.
Hughes in the background to lend their
prestige.
