Col. Bryan wonld neither deny nor

Berlin, Dec. 10.—Before leaving Ber-
lin for south Germany, Dr. von Holle-
ben, German ambassador to the United
States, said ip the course of a conver-
sation:
“Both the German and Washington
governments are anxious to improve the
existing relations between them. This
fact will soon become evident. "
Baron von Bnelow, minister of for-
eign affairs, had several long inter-
views with Dr. van Holleben last week.
All important questions concerning
America were thoroughly discussed.
“I fail to see any reason," the ambas-
sador said, "why, with will ou both
sides, all differences, and none is of great
moment, cannot be adju-ted amicably.
In behalf of the German government I
can state that the most hearty sympa-
thy exists towards the rising American
nation, and there is no intention of do-
ing anything on our part to interfere in
the slightest degree with the legitimate
aims of the United States. In a few
words, an effort will be made, more
than in the past, to adjust all trifling
differences outstanding, and negotia-
tions,for a reciprocity treaty, which have
been greatly delayed, mainly because'
of the war with Spain, will be taken up
after the new year and pushed^igor-
onsly."
Germans are now following Ameri-
can affairs much closer than previously.
A very full report of the president’s
message was published here, and com-
mented upon as much as the emperor's
speech from the throne at the opening
of the reichstag. The comment is gen-
erally fair and calm, many papers ex-
pressing an Agreeable surprise at its
peaceful tone.
The Lokal Anzeiger says:
"Neither the United States or Eng-
land can attach so much weight to the
position in the Carolines as to be will-
ing to jeopardize their amicable rela-
tions with Germany on account of it."
The German Agrarian press violently
-comments on the latest official statistics
of Germany’s meat imports for the first
nine months of the current year, show-
ing that the importation of American
pork more than doubled, compared
with the imports of 1397.
The Agrarian organs insist that the
tariff provisions with the United States
ought to be framed to wholly exclude
American meat products from Germa-
ny. They also bemoan the increasing
imports of American horses, which were
valued at 4,143,000 marks in 1W17, and
almost doubled this year.
These papers also maintain much
American horse flesh comes in the shape
of sausage”,
The Berlin Tageblatt makes this in-
teresting admission:
“Iu German commercial circles the
conviction has long become settled that
the dangers arising from American
pork and the notorious San Joae scale
has been magnified, just as years ago
were the perils of the Colorado bug.
We are therefore anxious to ascertain
whether the renewed[Jattempts of the
American government to convince the
Agrarians and German government of
the thoroughness of American supervi-
sion of pork exports and the hygienic
results of the daring process applied to
American fruit has been successful.
We doubt it, for wkateverdoes not put
money into the pockets of the Agrarians
they do not believe in it. "
Since the emperor’s return from the
orient the measures taken to provide
for his safety have been much more
strictly and comprehensively carried
out. The Stadt Schloss, at Potsdam,
which is now occupied by his majesty,
was formerly open to the public, so far
as the outer courts were concerned.
Now there are double sentries at every
door, special permits are required to
pass, and the building itself is over-
run by scores of policemen and detec-
tives.
Police Prefect Windham admits these
precautions are due to the recent anar-
chist plots.

Insurgents at Hat angora Visited by the
Cruiser Raleigh.
Manila, Dec. 10.—The United States
cruise^ Raleigh, which left here Dec. 1
under sealed orders, returned today.
She visited Batangos to investigate the
condition of southern Luzon, to estab-
lish cordial relations and prevent the
smuggling of arms, several cargoes hav-
ing been landed there. The erniser
found a local government establisned at
Batangos.
The officials, being mystified regard-
ing the object of the warship’s visit, re-
fused to ailow her officers to land until
Aguiualdo had been communicated
with.
When permission to land had been
granted, the Americans were closely
watched. Officers who strolled about
the palace alone were escorted back to
the Raleigh by soldiers. Several visits
were exchanged and there was appar-
ent good will iu the reception tendered
the Americans.
The Raleigh reports the insurgents
armed with Mauser rjfles, well drilled
and claim they hive 4,000 Spanish
prisoners, who ure compelled to work
on roads, but who are well treated
otherwise.

Washington, Dec. 10. Admiral
Dewey’s fleet will be strengthened
shortly by the addition of some service-
able gunboats. The Bennington, now
a Honolulu, has been ordered to pro-
ceed to Guam and make a survey of
the harbor with a view to the estab-
lishment of a naval station, This done,
she will join Dewey's fleet.
By that time, or before, the Helena
will have arrived at Manila, and the
Concord and Petrel, now cruising in
Chinese waters, will have returned, and
altogether the admiral will have a
sufficient force of small vessels to carry
out the president's policy respecting the
Philippines, and bring into submission
any islanders who may prove refrac
tory, and release the Spanish prisoners.
The combined naval forces of Great
Britain and the United States will
greatly exceed those of any other two
nations iu that qnarier of the world.

Washington. Dec. 10—The secretary
of the treasury has recommended to the
war department that Christmas presents
intended for officers and soldiers of the
United States army in Cuba and Porto
Rico be admitted free of duty. An order
to this effect probably will be issued
within the next day or two.

London, Dec. 10—There are two
prominent figures in the political arena
this week, Secretary of State for Colo-
nies Joseph Chamberlain, and the Brit-
ish ambassador at Paris, Sir Edmund
J. Monson.
The address of the latter to the Brit-
ish chamber of commerce at Paris came
like a peal of thunder, causing dismay
on both sides of the channel, where
many people had affected to discern
already the laint outliue of a peace
rainbow betweeu France and Great
Britain as a sequel of the passing over
of the Fashoda storm.
The first impression was that Sir Ed-
wuud Monson had received a cue from
the Marquis of Salisbury to give a can-
did warning to France that Great Brit-
ain was fully determined not to stand
any further pin-prick nonsense. This
opinion still prevails, although it has
been somewhat modified by the ex-
planation which the ambassador sent to
the French press, and it is now thought
that Monson got an official tip to give
France warning, bnt spoke more openly
than wax' intended. The address, how-
ever, has served as a reminder to the
people of both countries that the fire of
the Soudan eiubroglio is still smoulder-
ing, aud may burst into a flame before
it is finally disposed of.
The ambassadors warniug, according
to those qualified to know, was prompt-
ed by the fact that the French govern-
ment, sulking over the March affair, is
evading diplomatic discussion of the
pending Anglo-French problems and
was intending to intimate that with the
change of French ambassadors at Lon-
don, this week, Baron De Courcel being
succeeded by M. Paul Cambon, the
Marquis of Salisbury desired more
active treatment of the points in dispute.
Sir Edmund J Monson’s manly frank-
ness is quite characteristic of the am-
bassador and won for him the warm
friendship of Czar Alexander aud Em-
peror Francis Joseph, both of whom ask-
ed the British foreign office to send him
to their respective capitals when he

Mr Chamberlain's speech Thursday,
embracing the whole range of domestic
and foreign politics, aroused hs much
interest abroad as at home. He fore-
casted the ministerial domestic legisla
tion of the coming session, and then
held out an olive branch to every for-
eign country except France, to which he
administered a salutary caution which
has been but little relished there ana
which evoked all sorts of newspaper
threats to thwart Great Britain s pro-
jects.
