DR, ZIMMERMAN AGAIN DEFENDS
 GERMAN PLOTS

London, March 7-The German governments plan for involving Mexi- co and Japan in war with the United States in the event of hostilities be- tween Germany ana America was de- tended in an address before the reichstag by Foreign Secretary Zim- mermann, as quoted in Reuter- dis patch from Amsterdam. Replying to objections raised by socialist member to the Mexican proposals, Dr. Zimmerman said:
 We were looking out for all of us, in the event of there being the pros pect of war with America. It was a natural and justified precaution. am not sorry that, through its publi- cation in America, it also became known in Japan.
 'F'or the dispatch of these instruc- tions a secret way was chosen which at present is at Germany's disposal. How the Americans came into posses sion of the text which went to Ameri- ca in special secret code we do not now. That these instructions should have fallen into American hands is a misfortune, but that does not alter the fact that the step was necessary for our patriotic interests.
 'Least of all are they in America Justified in being excited about our faction It would be erroneous to suppose that the step made a particu- larly deep impression abroad. It is regarded as what it is-justifia ble de- fensive action in the event of war"

LUCK CHANGE OF MIND.

We mentioned on Saturday the fact that MT. E.. c. Whitemore of East Bridgeport had left home on that day for a short visit to the South. He was intending to take passage on the steamer Andulusia, which left New York in the afternoon of that day for Charlestown. But he had present. ments that something unfavorable would happen if he went out at this time and on further reflection conclud- ed he would defer his visit to a la ter day. Accordingly when he ar rived at Stamford he turned about and took the train back for home. Last evening he had a dispatch from Charlestown announcing the melan- choly news that the Andalusha took fire off Cape Hatteras and was totally destroyed on Sunday evening. Four passengers and five men in the em- ploy of the boat were lost. It was fortunate indeed that MT. W. changed his mind. By so doing he saved him. self from great peril if no this life.

LIBERTY OF PRESS.

The British people can be at no loss to appreciate the value of the French press, when they are inform ed that the chief part of the political extracts from the English papers are taken from the Times and Courier, the former of which has had it's retaining fee for promoting the views Of Louis XVIII. and one of the proprietors or the latter paper has lately been ap- pointed page to the King Of France. To what degrading state has the Eng fish press fallen, when we see it's edl- tors, for little base 1ucre, become the servile panders of religious blgots, and the enemies of social order, and rational liberty.

4 London paper states that a squa- dron from Tunis took possession of the Island of Antioco, after a severe conflict on the 1st of November; and after seizing 100 persons and consid- erable plunder and conveyed the same on board their ships they left the isl- and. An article from Rome men tions that the ministers of the high Allies have formed a treaty of all liance relative to a war with the Bar bary powers and that their sover- eigns have sanctioned the same. Thus the European monarchs who have enslaved whole nations by the force of arms, have entered into a ''holy league" against the Barbary states, who. have only enslaved a few Chris tiauS
