GERMAN ATTITUDE Towards the United States Defined by Ambassador White. RELATIONS WITH GERMANY ?? ? ??n ormr r A dw {HAVE JBJSISIS AHU 4 VERY CORDIAL?THE SUBSTANTIAL, THINKING GERMANS ARE ENTIRELY FRIENDLY TO < AMERICA ? MISREPRESENTATIONS ON1 THE PART OP THE YELLOW JOURNALS" OF THIS COUNTRY AND GERMANY TO BLAME FOR THE RECENT RETORTS OF THE UNFRIENDLINESS OF THE LATTER COUNTRY. A Berlin dispatch^ In the New York Journal of Commerce aaya: In view of . tint depioraoie mc-i luai. u>u ond sentiment of both the German officialdom and populace have been, and still are, grossly misrepresented in a large portion of the American press, a correspondent of the New York "Staats Zeitung" has undertaken to obtain unquestionable Information from competent quarters on this matter. He has asked Mr. Andrew D. White, the diplomatic representative of the United States in Germany,for an explicit statement, and Mr. White was kind enough to grant the request. Another valuable statement of a highly official character was furnished in the German foreign office. These two statements leave no rtjom for the slightest doubt that the official relutions between the two countries are <he very best. From the beginning the German government has maintained the strictest neutrality; In fact, a benevolent neutrality for the United States. The vast majority of the I German populace is decidedly friendly ?n the Americans. Only the Agrarians nnd the Anti-Semites show a defiant attitude. There are, to be sure, quite a number of Journals who have published unfavorable criticisms on the American warfare,but this is of no meaning whatever, those papers only having in mind to "keep up their right to criticise," which Is. as generally known, an essentially German pecularity. Mr. Andrew D. White Bald verbally: "The relations between the German and American governments have been, and still are, excellent. As a simple matter ot fact no person acquainted with the matter will deny that the German government has treated ours with fairness, or claim that "it has been wanting in courtesy to our government ? ?<.n?Aonnt??iw? In RArlln THpm Is no exception to this statement. "As to German people at large, I rid satisfied that the substantial thinking part of them ure on the whole friendly ?o America. I am receiving letters every day which Indicate this. Of course, . there has been on the part of a considerable number a natural sympathy with Spain as a weaker power fighting a stronger one; quite* likely, too, a considerable portion of landed proprietors and of lending manufacturercrs have had prejudices ni?alnst the United States caused by what they have considered interference with their prosperity: and it must be confessed that a very large-majority of the German newspapers have been more or less hostile to the United States. But, it Is perfectly evident that Gorman sentiment Is improving In this respect every day, &3 the real character of the struggle is more and more clearly seen. "There have been unquestionably come provocations from the American side; some of our boasters and tall talkers have been taken too seriously here. There have also been utterances re ? ? tlmo gaming uermauy wvu? >? even ir, some of our most respectable Journals,which have stirred German resentment In some quarters. Indeed, on both sides of the Atlantic there apems to have been an elaborate and lonjfcontfnuad effort to misrepresent everything in both directions, so as to stir 111feellng. Who Is responsble for this on this side of the ocean or the other I cannot undertake to say; but,this much Is certain?that most absurd charges have been telegraphed to the United Slates and widely spread. "Leadng Americans, too, suppose that the German government and the Qermun people generally were treating the Americans badly, whereas the very opposite 1? the case; and, on -the other hand, letter-writers have frequently c"nt *n *l?" fiormnn nanet'8 statements from America alleging thnt th?> Americans were treating the German# there badly, and showing n general hatred of them. One or two Incidents may be tuken ns typical of many. Shortly after my arrival here some one cabled to America a story that the feeling against America was so strong here that the emperor had felt obliged to publish an order Insisting thrft official people must present themselves at my receptions. / "As a matter of fact, the so-called order was simply the usual ofllclal notification always Issued when ai, new nmbasrudor arrive* and Is ready to give his tbTee regular reception*. The most courteous condtict and kind Codling was shown by all concerned. "At one of the closing sessions of the Reichstag I was present to hear ? most Interesting debate.

In thin there was not the shadow of truth.

Ho fully ?nflrmed Mr. White's Htatoments, and added: I "We can. only repeat thnt nil calumnies, more imperially thone emanating ' fr"m English sources, have been met with a prompt denial, and ha/o, fhero. collapdud.

Both D<>?ey and the Insurgents Intend to limit their hostilities to the uniformed Spaniards bearing weapons; both the American* and the insurgents like to have women a ad children removed from the scene of 1 possible hostilities, as their presence Is , only embarrassing. The chief of the insurgents himself has asked a neutral man-f>f-war to take away four Spanish ladles and six children. "From some English and American papers it would appear that we Germans are always lying In arobush waiting for a chance to do harm. Such tales are utterly groundless. All requests by Germans, and non-Germans also, to land German seamen at Manila for the protection of the property of foreigners have been flatly refused by this government In order to avoid even the slightest pretext for unfavorable comment. To those who appeared most scared we said that in an emer- ! gency there would be ships ready to take -them aboard?Americans and Germans included. At Manila there exists ; the best relations between Americans and Germans." | BBATJB A6 ANY 60LDIBB. ( This Girl Ought to U?oom? a Gallant ' Warrior's Bride. Detroit Free Press: "There goes a ( brave girl," said the woman holding a , position at the soda watar fountain that annhtail )iap no* 4U??ii<?K V?l?? ( uvi -?w BbU Wivugu VUU Uib BUVII window. "Which one?" asked her companion. "That one crossing the street there," and they- both studied a handsome young lady In a fetching summer outfit as she moved gracefully to the opposite corner. She was above the medium height, built on artistic lines, and with her shoulders well back, hod a swinging he<jl-and-*oe gait that marks the good walker. "If she were a man she'd be In tho army or navy as a fighter, and she'd be there now as a nurse if they would only accept her. I'll tell you what she did," continued her admirer, "and it took pluck, for she's as modest, refined and proper a girl as you ever knew. I live In the same block and our acquaintance Is a very Intimate one. "When the first lot of our boys were leaving for the front there was an old lady who had just come In from the country with sorae neighbor, standing on the corner above us waiting for a car. I suppose that the poor thing was worn out with grief and loss of sleep. At any rate, she fainted there by the curb, and the girl I pointed out was the llrst to reach her. We helped her Into Amy's house, for that is my friend's name, iiw duuiici ?us iub uiu rnuj' it" vived than she Insisted that she must hurry to the depot, for her only boy was with the troops. We protested In vain that she was not equal to the undertaking, and we had to appeal to the authority of a doctor, who positively forbade her going and stood ready to lnforce his order. "She was naturally a quiet and retiring little body, but she was made bold by her mother love and scolded us roundly between sobs because we kept her when her boy would think that she had neglected him at which might be their last opportunity for their meeting. She told pathetically how she had lost her husband In the civil war and how It would break her heart If her son 3 would leave in doubt of her love and thoughtfulness for him. , " 'I'll tlnd him und tell him everything,' declared Amy, ns ?he hurried \ for her hat. 'He shall know how much you longed to be with him and what prevented you.' 1 "She had the volunteer's name, and j when she reached the depot he wan j pointed out to her, a big, strong, awkward farmer boy, with a good face, novy 1 clouded with gloom. You know what a j scene there was at thtt tlrae*-mothers, j sisters and sweethearts parting with ( mose aear 10 inem. Ana mere sioou that poor boy, alone, a wistful look In his eyes, not ho much as n male friend to take his hand and bid him God spped. Amy went right up to him with the direct way she has and did her errand for the sorrowing little mother. It was u striking contrast, that stylish girl, pretty ns a picture, nnd that hulking boy trying to restrain his grief while he listened to her message. The boys who knew her wondered and laughed, naturally enough. But I told you how brave she is. " 'Did mother send me anything?' he asked, Just as an embarrassed child would have done. Poor woman! she hnd thought of nothing but to let him know that she had remembered and tried to reach him. " 'Yes, this," and, throwing her arms 3 about his neck, she gave the astonished soldier boy a rebounding kiss and with face aflame was hurrying away before he could recover from the shock. I'll warrant that every man there envied a the big brown-faced boy, who smiled, * straightened up and realized that the I world hod suddenly been illumined for c him.

The market broadened out materially and was confidentially strong all day, but inquiring observers feel considerable doubt whether the peace prospects bad much to do with the rise. Of much more effect is the generally growing conviction that the dullness of the mnnsv market in not all du? to Blue pish trade conditions, but rather to the abundant supplier of money at interior points to meet the requirements of expanding business and the movement thus far of the crops. Yesterday'? gold Imports resulted in stiffening foreign exchange and In appreciably easier money rates for time loans. Exchange exports are not aMe to figure any profit in the gold Import operation at the present level of exchange and these operations must be accepted as antlclpative of future conditions. If the importers anticipated higher money rates abroad they probably would leave their funds there without drawing the ext&ange. [t seems doubtful, also, whether the present low rates of money here would themselves Invite such an operation. Prospects of an enlarged demand through awakened business activity mist be looked to to explain the export Sold movement. The general tenor of :alk heard in Wall street is also of expected Increase in trade and industrial ixpanslon. The growth of the westfraiwtit miu'nmont and favorable eports from experts in the different ;rades are accepted against the ahrinkigo In the grain movement and resultng decrease In earnings on some of the western railroads. Statements of earnnga for the fiscal year are being wrought out simultaneously with those tor the month of July and the heavy >utlay for betterments and improvements shown by.these exhibits, indicting possible economies In the future, ferve -to neutralize the decrease in curent earnings. The general view In the itreet is unmistakably bullish. The general strength of the market was taken idvantage of to realize profits In some >f the recently manipulated industrial ipeclalties, but there was a broad and omprehenslve demand for the standard rtocks, the grangers and the favorite ilvidend payers leading. Dealings In jonds were also active and widely disributed. A feature of the day was the *ise to par of the Northern Pacific 4s. Phis is one of a large class of similar >ond.s issued recently for reorganization vhlch have been favorites 1n?hc bond narket. The Northern Pacific mortgage is the first of them to rise to par. rherc was a very large absorption of >ther railroad bonds which have been raining added security from the largely nornnu.-i/f onrnfniTK by railroads In the a?t Hscal year.
