GERMANY UNCONCERNED
REGARDING NICARAGUA
Emperor William Declares Nation
Stands Impartial to
MadriZ

BERLIN, July 12.-The foreign office
has given the Associated Press an au-
thorized statement respecting the letter
Of Emperor William to President Mad
riZ of Nicaragua. Reports have reached
Berlin that attempts are being made
in America to construe this letter as an
Endorsement by the emperor Of the
Madriz party. The statement follows:
"Madriz gave notice of his election
on undertaking the presidency to the
emperor In the usual written form.
The customary formal reply was pre-
pared by the foreign office. It was not
an autograph letter. but was simply
signed by the emperor. The address,
Great and good friend was in accord
ance with official courtesy. Any inter-
vention by. Germany in Nicaraguan
affairs neither followed nor is intended.
Germany neither sought nor designs to
seek a coaling station. Rumors of
Germany's intention toward the Gala
pagos islands are equally without foun-
dation, as are all suggestions that the
German government has in any wise
modified the cultivation of friendly re-
lations toward the United States"
The emperor's letter was dated April
26, and said:
''I am informed by your letter of the
9th of December of last year that your
excellency was elected president of the
republic by the merited confidence of
your fellow citizens and that your ex-
cellency entered upon your most hon
orable duties on the 21st of that
month"
An expression of the usual diplo-
matte good wishes and desire for the
cultivation of good wishes between the
two countries followed
The reported offer by Madriz of a
coaling station to a European power
if 1t would intervene was not made to
Germany, the foreign Office declared.
The Berlin press makes much of at
tempts abroad to cast suspicion upon
Germanys Latin-American policy.
Many journals affirm that an intrigue
is in progress against German good
faith.

fAssocIated Press1

BERLIN, July 12.-Germany has
taken no stand in opposition to the
United States In the affairs of Central
and South America. Germany has is
sued no statement that could be con-
strued into antagonism of the Ameri-
can government in what that govern
ment has done. is doing. or may do in
Nicaragua This declaration was made
at the German foreign office this even
ing.
Special dispatches received here from
Washington and other American cities
reported that the German foreign office
had issued statement today that
Germany refused to recognize any
right on the part Of the United States
to supervise her diplomatic relations
with other countries, Central and South
American countries in general and Nj
caragua In particular"
When this report was placed before
the foreign office 1t was given an en-
phatic denial.
No such statement, an official de-
clared angrily, had been issued by that
department or by any other department
of the German government. He affirm
ed that no declaration Of such a nature
could be made because there was nc
necessity for it, and therefore anything
published in such a sense was pure in
vention.
WILL NOT INTERVENE
German government officials are
greatly wrought up by the attempts
made to have this country appear in a
role of antagonism to the United States,
when on the contrary it has been the
desire Of the government to develop
both commercial and diplomatic rela-
tions with America.
The present situation has arisen from
the publication of a letter from En-
peror William to Dr. Madriz, president
de facto of Nicaragua. In several
quarters apparently the significance Of
this letter has been misjudged, and it
became necessary today, in order that
no wrong construction might be placed
on it, to issue statement through the
foreign office explaining that the letter
was merely formal acknowledgement
of a notice received from Madriz Of his
election to the presidency.
This explanation was accompanied by
the statement that Germany had no in
tention of intervening in any way in
Nicaraguan affairs and that the re-
ported offer by Madriz of a coaling sta
tioi to a European power If it would
intervene in Nicaragua was not made
to Germany.

pecting a run on the institution, is

in the officials and directors of the in
stitution.

rent rumor at about $500,0O0. His case
today was set for hearing before the
grand jury October 8, and the prisoner

ASoUITH OPPOSES MEASURE
Associated Press1

LONDON, July 12.-The house of
commons, by a vote of 299 to 100, to-
night passed the second reading of the
woman's suffrage bill, for which David
James Shackleton. labor member from
the Clitheroe division of Lancashire, Is
the sponsor. The bill provides for
granting the parliamentary franchise
to women who have property qualifica-
tions and who already exercise the
franchise in municipal elections.
The unprecedented large majority of
109 gives an impulse to woman suffrage,
but many obstacles must yet be over
come before the principle is legalized
by the necessary majority of 145. The
house subsequently referred the bill
to a committee of the whole. This
means that the bill will be shelved
until next year.
BALFOUR OPPOSED
The interesting debate showed that
many leading men, including Winston
Spencer Churchill, secretary of home
affairs, and A. J. Balfour, leader of the
opposition, who favored the principle
of woman suffrage. objected to the
present bill and contended that the
whole country must pronounce unre-
servedly in favor of women voting be-
fore parliament sanctioned such a
change in the constitution.
Premier Asquith in a strong speech
against the bill declared that If women
had a vote they must inevitably have
seats in parliament and might take the
speakers chair or sit in the cabinet.
Mr. Balfour contested this view. He
said that 1t was not government by
consent to exclude a large class of the
community from voting.
Chancellor Lloyd-George, as a strong
supporter of women's suffrage, said If
the promoters of the bill would promise
to reintroduce the bill in an acceptable
form he would support 1t.
Austin Chamberlain opposed woman
suffrage in any shape or form.
A great crowd of suffragettes awaited
the result of the voto outside of the
house, but there was no disorder.

two churches, two banks and other
business houses and many dwellings
were obliterated. The fire started in
the mills of the Richards Lumber COM

time, and even with aid sent from New

make headway against the flames.
The fire spread to the woods and un-
derbrush, and extended as far as Rich
ardsville, two miles from Campbellton,
