between America ana us, but they are
only passing clouds
In all official circles the general feel
ing is that nothing can really bring the
two great countries into opposition. but
in order TO facilitate matters it is sug-
gested In many quarters that If Ameri-

quickly regain the ground lost in Ger
man sympathies.
In other circles. however mostly in
dustrial, there has been a noticeable
change in the erstwhile attitude Of
friendship with the United States. with
a loosening Of the Old ties Of affection.
one cause is said to be the heavy
American industrial competition and
another is said TO be Americas MeXi-
can policy, which from the start was
considered dangerous to important Ger
man interests in Mexico.
There are also additional threats Of
hindrance 10 German shipping IN Pan

arrangement between the two countries
is the governments refusal TO partici-
pate in the Panama Pacific Exposition.

against the German decision have been

they have made an unfavorable i'm
preston. Unless statesmanlike steps

and Americans have much in common
and little separating them.
In recent years, especially during the
ambassadorship Of Mr.. Leishman,

diplomatic life. The American infu-
ence which was paramount under

Berlin. Jan. 2r-The Kaiser's remarkable

evinced by the announcement that Baron
Won Wangenheim, the German Ambassa-
dor al Constantinople. has won the great
est diplomatic victory Germany has
ever won since the empire existed. In
forcing military mission intrusted with
the reorganization of the Turkish army
on the Sultan and his government. Baron
Won Wangenheim two years ago was per
fectly unknown to every one in Germany
even to the Kaiser himself who had In
trusted him with the unimportant legation
at Athens. BY a mere chance, Baron Won
Wangenhcim called his masters attention
TO his person last year, when William II
was stopping at Corfu. The Minister had
been invited to dinner By the sovereign.
and, answering the Kaisers questions.
the baron displayed such remarkable
knowledge of Oriental affairs that the
Kaiser was quite amazed and stated DC
fore his encourage: The German diplo-
matte service is hunting after a man.

1t was Herr Won Wangenheims good
luck, too. that Baron Msrschall Won Bile
bernstein had rendered himself impossible
in Constantinople. where the Turks never
forgave him for not having warned them
OF the Italian planned attack on Tripoi.

had become necessity and he was there

been rather surprised at the Kaisers in
trusting an essentially important diplo-

is supreme. Herr Won Wangenheim was
then sent to Constantinople. He did
wonders there. In the face OF the wild
attacks on the German reorganizers OF
the Turkish army, after the Turkish de-
feats which il was supposed would shat

years, he has now succeeded In having
another German military mission dis
patched TO and established at CONSTANT

Spain Satisfied with U. S.
Handling of Mexican Situation
IBy Gable 70 The Tribune.


Madrid, Jan. 3l.-Only the most
friendly feelings exist in Spain as re-
CARDS America. No rancor remains on
account of the late war. and the rela-
tions Of the two countries are on a
most friendly basis. King Alfonso is
specially friendly TO and a great ad-
mirer of America. He has often ex-
pressed a desire to go there, and prob
ably would have gone before now if
the Cortes had been willing that he
leave the country for so long time
and for so far "A destination.
Spain is not interested in the Jap
anese question since the loss of the
Philippines, but in case of trouble be-
tween Japan and America her syrnpa-
thies would undoubtedly be American.
Panama is not vital matter TO Spain.
Mexico is the only question in Ameri-
can foreign affairs interesting Spain,
which is perfectly satisfied with Amer
ica's handling of the situation.
A Mexican supporter of General
Huerta recently tried by speeches in
Madrid 10 arouse Spanish sympathy for
Mexico. but was soon stopped when the
Foreign Office intimated to him that
his speeches were undesirable, as
America had been very prompt and
efficient in protecting the interests OF
Spanish citizens in Mexico and that
Spain was fully satisfied with Ameri-
can methods.
