German Embroglio.

New York, Sept. l6.That the diff.
culties between the United States and

for ME that | am sure that within a
fortnight all supposed difficulties be-
tween the United States and Germany
win have been settled, and permanently
settled and the nations will be more
friendly than they ever have been"

statement saying; 'In my opinion ev-
erything as regards the situation be-
tween the United States and Germany
will be settled within fortnight. |
do not expect to have anything more to
say with reference to this matter in the
next two weeks"
Count Won Bernstorff discussed the
sinking OF the British steamer Hesperi
an, insisting in an informal way that
his first claim as to what caused the
ship to go down had now been verified,
despite what he called ''the suspicion
Of the American people about that ship.
The ambassador emphasized the fact
hat 1tnder prcsapt conditions aNnha neaG
Of communication with his government
were necessarily tedious proceeding
md he added that 1t was due to this
iact that he fixed the time for a set
-lement at two weeks.
In conclusion the ambassador said he |
would probably spend the weekend at |
cedarhurst, Long Island, his summer
lome.
