SPAIN OTEE THE CANNAMABA AFFATE Berlin, A| Germany in official and unofficial eft- cles ealry today waa that the Spano- American crisis had veered considerably during the course of the week, and is now decidedly more favorable to the United States. This, it ia aaserteil. ia partly due to the nioderatioo of Presi dent McKinley and the nosriurvsliv* manner in which the United States minister, General Woodford, has dealt with the authorities at Madrid, and partly to the bitternem engendeied by the alleged attack of • band of insur gents upon the German sugar refineries st Cannambs, in the Trinidad district of the province of Santa Clara, Uuba. and the murder of four persona connect ed with the refinery, March 18, which has taught Germany that Spain ia un able to protect even the livre ol fer- eigners in Cuba. As previiiiiily announced, the Ger man foreign office ia demanding full and immediate redress for this outrage, and a German warship will soon be sent to Havana if satisfaction ia not foctb- Ooming in short order. The Spanish ambassador here, lienor Mendea de Vigo, has had lengthy confraencea with Baron vOn Bulow, the German minister of foreign affairs, who con vinced the ambassador that Germany intended to have complete satisfaction, including an'indemnity for the prop erty destroyed and foi the livre taken. The ambassador waa also informed that, unless the redrere was forth coming, Germany would herself set, secure damages and punish the offend ers. As an incentive to quick repara tion, Baron von Bulow added that pro visional orders had been cabled to th* commander of the German warship Gier to sail in the direction of Cub*. The Spanish ambassador promised that he would exert himself to the utaaost to pomply with the German demand* The newspH|iers here are also chang ing their tone, and now concede in the main the justice of the American de-' mands, acknowledging that Washington has acted with the moderation which many another government would not have shown under similar rircum- stances.
