Bismarck, in 1877, established Ger-
many’s right to the Suln islands form-
ing the southern portion of the Philip-
pine group, has led to an investigation
into the history of the negotiations of
that date relative to the islands in the
east. It has been found that in the
year named, Eugland, Germany and
Spain having conflicting claims to vari-
ous islands, a tripartite arrangement
was eutend into by the terms of
which Spain yielded her claim to the
northern part of the islahd Boreno and
guaranteed to England and Germany
liberal rights of trade and fishers in the
Suln islands. The treaty, howev-r,
concedes absolutely Spain’s sovereignity
over the islands, so there is no obstruc-
tion to their cession to the United States
on that score.

Copyrighted ISits. by the Associated Press.
Berlin, Nov. 2(1—The German piess,
this week, busied itself a great deal
about the Philippine question and peace
negotiations at Paris. Nearly all com-
ment has been uncomplimet^ary to the
United States, as “excessive greed and
political indecency in formulating new
demands.” President McKinley is be-
ing also accused of “inconsistency” and
“lack of backbone" in not withstanding
the “increasing demands of the impe-
rial party."
A number of German papers have
now adopted a strain indicating a desire
to obtain a portion of the Spanish Asia-
tic possessions for Germany. The Kreuz
Zeituug, which has much influence at
court and in army circles, says: “Ger-
many is materially interested in the
outcome of the peace negotiations, more
particularly with respect to the Suln
archipelago, where Germany and Great
Britain possess the same kind of com-
mercial privileges, granted them by
Spain in 1877, and in which Hamburg
and Bremen is largely interested.
“American annexation of this group,
besides being a matter of strategetic
importance, would mean, in view of the
American prohibitory policy, the de-
struction of both the German and the
British trade. In short, an understand-
ing with Great Britain for joint action
and intervention is absolutely indis-
pensable. The theory of an American
sea, cannot be accepted by any Europe-
an nations. Kisson. therefore, has been
indulging in day dreams. ’
In spite of newspaper comment, the
correspondent of the Associated press
is informed on good authority that
Germany still does not contemplate in-

The Cologne Gazette publishes a let-
ter from its correspondent at Manila,
asserting with “keen regret’’ that half
the United States land and naval force
there is composed of Germans, and giv-
ing a far from flattering picture of
American rule at Manila.
The Manila correspondent of the Vos-
sische Zeituug draws even a more
gloomy picture dwelling upon the al
leged prevalance of drunlceness and
other excesses among the American
troops.

An English Carlist positively asserts
Don Carlo’s army will take the field in
Spain soon after the treaty is signed.
He declares a loan has been fully
financed, and that it is divided equally
between France and England, and adds
that after English capitalists were
shown the evidences on which Don Car
los' chances of success were ba^ed, they
offered several times the amount asked.
Continuing it was asserted the Span-
ish government has known for some
time that Don Carlos is possessed of an
army, organized into battalions and 1
batteries, officered and largely armed, j
but the Spanish ministers counted on
the failure to secure funds. Therefore,
the Spanish government is said so be
panic-stricken.

Paris, Nov. 26 The Spanish peace
commission this evening does not know
what will be the terms of the answer to
the American tender of 420,000.060 for a
treaty cession of the Philippines.
Senor Montero Rios, president of the
commission, will himself write Spain's
final reply, presumably upon the lines
approved by the Madrid government,
bnt as yet he has not formulated a sen-
tence thereof.
Up to this eveuing the Madrid gov-
ernment had not instructed its commis-
sion here to reject the United States
offers. Some tentative instructions
have been received from Madrid, but
today Senor Myntero Rios telegraphed
Madrid for a construction of them, or a
clearer light thereon, and the commis-
sion is now awaiting a reply.
' Spain will not. ask for time beyond
Monday. She will then meet the
Americans and make a conclusive re-
ply-
Speculation continues rife here as to
the acceptance or refusal of the Ameri-
can terms, bnt a majority of those in
any degree able to judge, believe Spain
will yield and the American commis-
sioners expect the treaty to be signed.
