KAISER SENDS LETTERS Bc.-ldos Communication Transmitted by Tower, Emperor Rcquenfs Per- m onal Friend of Roosevelt to Write Him Concerning Hill. BERLIN, March 37. The matter of the acceptance by the German government of Dr. David Jaync Hill, now American Minister at The Hague, as American Am bavMador to succeed Charlemagne Tower, continues to hold public interest. The Foreign Office denies t bar any explanation adverse to Dr. Hill has come from the Ger man side, declaring that he is persona grata and that all statements In a con trary sense are inventions put into circu lation by designing Americans. It states that the opposition to Dr." Hill is Amer ican and not German. On tne other hand. Emperor William's desire not to thave Dr. Hill come to Ber lin has been m subject of discussion In the official household of his majesty for weeks past. General VonPlessin, Adjutant-General to his majesty, has referred to it and it Is known outside of his maj esty's Immediate suite that Admiral Von Mueller, chief of his majesty's private Marine Cabinet, and Admiral Von Tirpitz, Secretary of the Admiralty, are among those who have told the Emperor that they did not regard Dr. Hill as a suit able Ambassador. Mr. Tower s part is explained to have been confined to a transmittal to Presi dent Roosevelt of thev Emperor's definite communication. His majesty also re quested a distinguished personal friend of President Roosevelt, who is now in Germany, to write to the President con cerning his majesty's unwillingness to receive Dr. Hill. Both of these communications were sent at the express wish of the Emperor. It is Just possible that the Foreign Office is not aware of the second communica tion, which is probably still In the trans Atlantic malls. ACTION" IS SELDOM "OFFICIAI When Minister Is Not, Wanted In formation Conveyed Quietly. WASHINGTON. March 27. The state ment Issued from the Foreign Office In Berlin in relation to the case of Dr. Hill, being entirely official, must, of course, be accepted by our Government on its face as amoftntinx to a denial of the re port that Dr. Hill was personally objec tionable to the German Emperor. The records show, however, that only in very rare instances in recent years have rulers made their objections to Am bassadors or Ministers in such form that they would be spread upon the records ss official. Rrobahly the last instance in the history of the United States for eign relations was that of Senator Blair, of North Carolina, whom the Chinese Government formally refused to accept as Minister. But the objection .in that case was formal, for the reason that it was based, not on Senator Blalrs per sonal character or conduct, but entirely upon his official actions and speeches in connection with the Chinese exclusion act. It Is true that there have been other Instances since that event where Ameri cans chosen for diplomatic service have failed of reception at the post intended for them, but that result has followed not from another such "official" action, as referred to In the German Foreign Office statement, but simply through the conveyance through personal channels of a quiet intimation that the nominee was objectionable. The case is similar to that rising in a social club when the friends of an in tending applicant for admission are quiet ly given to understand that there are ob jections against him. Of course, an -immediate withdrawal follows in order to avoid the dreaded ''blackball' which in diplomacy would find its equivalent In an "official declaration that a Minister or Ambassador was persona non grata. Something 6f this kind is understood to have been the course followed in Dr. Hill's case. DIPLOMATIC WORLD GUESSING Cannot Understand Reported Refu sal to Receive Dr. Hill. PARIS, March 27. Dr. David Jayne Hill, who is now in this city on per sonal business, received no information today that would throw any light on the alleged refusal of Emperor William to receive, him at Berlin. Dr. Hill is aware that Baron von Sternberg, the German Ambassador at Washington, transmitted Emperor William's ap proval of his appointment last Novem ber, and he declines. In the absence of official information, to admit that there is any possibility of the Emperor having changed his attitude. The Hill incident has aroused the liveliest interest in diplomatic circles in Paris. The refusal to receive an ambassador after assenting to his ap pointment is said to be unprecedented in the annals of diplomacy, and justifi able only on the strongest personal grounds. A prominent foreign diplo mat said In this connection: "The incident can only be accounted for on the theory that Emperor William has some personal objection to Dr. Hill. Otherwise, his refusal to receive him would be not only offensive, but a breach of good manners. The sugges tion contained In the Berlin dispatches that the Emperor desires a brilliant and wealthy American at Berlin, capa ble of adding luster to his-court, sa vors of a spirit of dictation which any country would resent. If Dr. Hill were an obscure man, such an objection might be understood, but inasmuch as it is recognized abroad that Dr. Hill is an able and accomplished diplomat and scholar, the suggestion Is almost an affront, not only to Dr. Hill, but to America. "To foreign diplomats it has always seemed strange that the United States has not pursued a policy of sending abroad able and modest men like Dr. Hill, who are capable of representing their country with dignity and simplic ity, rather than men of wealth who seek to rival in their social functions the magnificence of the old world." Chinese Minister of Education Comes VICTORIA. B. C. March 27. Leung Ming Qua!. Chinese Minister of Educa tion, has left Pekin for San Francisco and points on the Pacific Coast, where Chinese are found in considerable num ber, according to advices received in the Chinese quarters of the city. The Minister Is coming to investigate the opportunities for the betterment of the education of Chinese living abroad. - NOT AT LIBERTY TD SAY DIKE OF ABRVZZI SIIjENT RE GARDING ENGAGEMENT. Intimates That Any Announcement Must Come From Another Source. - Cheerful on the Voyage. LIVfeawlOL Maxell 27 "There U ab solutely nothing- I can say regarding my reported engagement to Miss Katherine JJlkins," said the IXike of Abruzzi, when asked for a statement today regarding the many rumors in circulation since his de parture from the United States. The Duke arrived here thiB morning from New York on the steamer Loiistania. He emphasized the personal pronoun in the statement and Intimated that any an nouncement must come fr-m another source. Although the Duke could not be drawn out with regard to his reported engage ment, he gave the impression that there was an engagement and. that some for malities would have to be completed be fore the announcement could -be made, and this announcement must come through official Italian channels. His con tinual cheerfulness on the voyage was taken as proof that he at least does not believe that there is any unsurmountaole difficulties in the way of his marriage with Miss Elkins. Abraham Hummel, the New York law yer, who was released from prison on March 16. also was a passenger on the Luistania. He received as much .atten tion from the reporters and photograph ers as did the Duke, but he did not take it so pleasantly.

DEWEY XOT COMING TO COAST Thinks Festivities and Journey Would Prove Too Fatiguing. WASHINGTON. March 27. Admiral Dewey. It is understood, practically has decided not to go to the Pacific Coast to participate in the welcome to the Atlantic battleship fleet when It reaches San Fran cisco. He has so Informed his intimate friends, and until he sees some good rea son for changing his present intentions, will adhere to this decision. Admiral Dewey declines to make" any statement concerning his Intentions, on the ground that whatever reply he may give to the invitations should be sent to those who have urged him to attend the festivities incident to the arrival of the fleet. The Admiral would like to go to California and has repeatedly so indicated to those who have talked with him about the mat ter, but there are considerations of ft perstHuU nature which make' him hesi tate to. take the trip. Incident to- it is the long railroad ride back and forth, beside the nigntly banquets and innumerable other social demands that would Tte made upon him. all of which prove fatiguing and exhausting. The Admiral's friends express the hope that he .will, ,with President Roosevelt, be on hand to welcome the fleet on its return home in New York on February 22 of next year, the date tentatively fixed by the President. KAISER MUCH INTERESTED Reads Kepi t of His Objections and Says They Are Incorrect. VENICE, March 27.

Hill as United States Am bassador to Germany, and says the ex planations were incorrect. He made no exception to the appointment of Dr. Hill, he is reported, to have said, al though he had expressed regret that Charlemagne Tower was to leave the post of Ambassador.
