The coming crop. says Dr. Aguero,

yiously imported product. He estimates

Having recounted these facts about
the German situation the Cuban min
lister continues to make it plain that
privations have not as yet affected the
German morale, and he warns against
counting upon such contingency.
The German. he says, accepts and con-
sents to submit to discipline which the
Latin would not think of enduring.
The German" the writer continues

will be small portions of Prussia, with
Berlin as the capital.
This idea has been propagated from
top to bottom in all classes of society
by means of the press. in public con-
ferences, in schools. universities. ly-
ion has been driven into the head OF
every German citizen and nothing can
eradicate it.
