NOT EXCITED ABOUT DUMBA
Berlin Newspapers Consider Wash.
 ington Not Very Mild.

Berlin, Sept. 12The Berlin news papers, after seeing the American note to Austria requesting the recall of the Austrian minister tC the United States, pr. Constantin Dumba, and having read the letter from Doctor Dumba to Baron Burien, Austrian minister of foreign affairs, which caused the sending of the note, dis cuss the matter with greater reserve
 The Tageblatt says the fact cannot be mistaken that the American gov. ernment has taken pains to keep the note in friendly tones which, in a mea- sure, smooth over the painful affair The paper calls attention to the fact that Washington asks, not demands, the recall of Doctor Dumba and wish es a continuance of friendly relat- ions. ss....
 The Tageblatt says it sees a striking analogy between the present case and that of Lord Sackville-W West. British 'eIlDdSSddof to the Unlted states in the Cleveland administration, whose recall was demanded by President Cleveland and who was handed his passports, and yet Great Britain saw no occasion to treat the matter of great political significance The paper says the present case still less contains elements for political fiction.
 The Vossische Zeitung also notes Ithat Washington avoids the more ao- rupt course of demanding the recall of Doctor Dumba, dissolving personal relations and handing him his pass ports, which is says, is admissible in such cases.
