ANGLO-GERMAN
PACT AGAINST U. S,
Great Powers Agreed Not to
Exhibit at Frisco and Are
Now Sorry.
IBy cable to The Tribune ]

London. Dec. 1.-The progress made
in the movement for obtaining from
the British government reconslderh-
ton of its attitude toward the Panama
Pacific Exposition is discussed by The
Times" this morning in a special aTtl-
Gle. The British committee is satlshed
that a revised scheme embracing Hf1-
cial participation and providing for
central government pavilion and col
lective industrial exhibition could be
undertaken with grant of S5OO,0o
and il appears that the Board of Trade
is inclined to support the scheme. blt
there is one little diplomatic difficulty
i'm the WAY of a reversal of the govern
ment's decision.
1t is understood that when the inIi-
tation of the United States was hrst
under consideration and when the
Board of Trade was under the impress
sion that British manufacturers and
traders would prefer not TO take part
in the exhibition at San Francisco. the
Foreign Office here came to some sort
of agreement with the German govern
ment that neither country should he
officially represented.
Since then. although Germany, IKE
Great Britain. stands aloof, an organ
lied protest has been made by the lead
ers of German commerce, and strong
pressure is being brought TO bear on
the German government to reconsider
its decision. There is reason to sup
pose that the German government is
anxious TO do so. but in the foreign Of
fees of Great Britain and Germany
there is feeling that they have
pledged themselves, however informal
~. and neither likes TO take the initia-
tive of asking the other to alter the uE-
derstanding which has been arrived az.
In such case a certain amount of Off
cial amour propre stands in the way,
which is none the less awkward TO get
over because of the fact that each
PARTY would like the other 10 make the
first move.
If this is really the case the Oppor-
tunitv, it would seem, has occurred for
useful intervention by a third party.
II is incredible that the national desire
should be thwarted by a question Of
diplomatic punctilio.

a report from Mexico city, has been

vice, let IL be- known to-day that he was
intensely annoyed at the various reports
concerning him. He declined, however to
answer any inquiries regarding his inten-

Members of General Diaz's encourage
point out that the eX-Presdent is in his
eighty-fourth year, and is somewhat deaf,
and they add that members of his family
agree that peace and tranquility are es-
sential to him. An apartment has been
taken in Paris for his occupancy until
spring. which would tend TO confirm the
belief that General Diaz has no idea OF
going TO Mexico.
