A CHANGE IN PUBLIC OPINION
ICmperor Wlllinm'i Inturait In Ciibim
War 0ierMtluimTh Question
of Aliierlcuii Meat.
Berlin, Oot. 11. Thore has boen
froat ohaiige in Gorman public opinion
on the sttbjoct of the retention of the
Philippine islands by the United
States. The feeling toward Amelia
gorerallv la much inore iavoraole I ... i
a couple of months ago. The nw
from tho united Htalosthat the govern
ment at Wajhlngtoti is seriously con
templating holding the Philippines, Is
commented upon dispassionately in
the German press, and it is significant
that tltla week two papers of such
standing as the Kolnische Zoltung and
the Vosslche Zoltung have published
long letters from Uormun merchants
settled in tho Philippine Islands, in
which American annexation Is strongly
advocated. A correspondent of the
Vossiobe Zeitung evon vigorously com
bats Germany making any attempt to
secure a portion of the islands, citing
weighty reasons therefor.
Another significant fact this weok
was that delegation representing
German and Gorman-Swiss firms in
the Philippine islands called at the
United States embassy to express hopes
that America would not relinquish
the islands and would not return them
to Spain, which tho delegation chimed
would mean a recurrence ot revolution,
and the perpetuation of commercial
troubles. The delegation also asked
If it might go to FariB and lay Its views
bofore the Unitod States poace commis
sion. The Unitod Statets ambassador
hore, Mi. Whito, advised the lolega
tlon not to do so.
Mr. White does not anticipate Gor
man Interference directly or indirectly,
even it tho United States Insists npon
retaining the whole of the archipelago.
Councillor Schwarzenloy, formerly
of the German embassy at Washington,
doularos that Germany does not dream
of putting ohataclos in America's way.
Mr. White bud a long conloronoe on
Wednesday last with the German min
ister of foreign affairs, Baron von Bue
low. Tho Imporial government laBt win
tor, goaded by the agrarians, drew up
a Mil to reuniTo tno niNpncu'iu en
American moat exports. The bill prac
tically meant the death of the Ameri
can moat trado, and, luckily, it could
not be mado ready for production In the
reichstag before that body adjourned.
Since then, the situation has changed.
The charges against Amorloan moats
have invariably proved to bo groundless
so that the violent press attacks have
ceased. The government therefore has
considerably modlfiod the bill, which
is now much loss Btringont, but some
of its provisions are still highly preju
dicial to canned moats and sausages..
It Ib expected that the measure will be
introduced into the reichstag soon aftoi
Its convonlng next month. The entire
right and a majority of the centrists
favor tho measure, so its passage is vir
tually assured.
