SYMPATHY ON THIS SIDE NEW YORK , Jan. 24. There Is reason to believe that the moral influence of the United States will support Great Britain in Its efforts to keep Ch'aa open to the commerce of the world , avero the Washington corre spondent of the Herald. The only active stops which the admlrlclratlon will proba bly take In the matter will bo to enter Into negotiations with Germany respecting the treatment ot American ships entering Klao Cl.au end bitch other ports In Chlni as may bo eelzed In the future by Russia or Germany. "If China has leased Klao Chan on the condition that It shall bo opened by Ger many aij a Chlneao port , then It will not bo necessary for the president to take the steps In the rratter , " said an official of the administration "It will mean that the com merce of nil nations will be allowed unrc- Btrlctcd entry thereto. If , as wo believe , however , Klao Chau should be leased to Germany without condltlono , then Germany would have the right aaid will undoubtedly oxercUo It , to put lei operation port and customs regulations such as are now In force In Gcriran homo ports. The United States cannot make any objection to the extension of such regulations to Klao Chau In such an event , for It will bo German cell to all Intents and purposes. "As In Hamburg , however , the government expect fiom Germany any privileges that may be granted to any other nation , and will , therefore , reap the advantages which Great Britain's attitude against the shutting of the Chlncso door to the commerce of the world will give. This Is required , In ac cordance with the articles of the treaty bo- tvveen Ptussla and the United States of May 1 , 1823 , which provides'If either party shall hereafter grant to anv other nation any { articular favor of navigation or commcroe , it shall Immediately become common to the other party , freely where It Is freely granted 4o such nation , or jleld'og ' the tame com- poncatlon when the grant la conditional. ' " Attaches of the Chlncej legation ore nat urally very much pleased at the attitude as sumed by Great lliltaln , as they assume that It will have the- moral Influence of the United States and other nations trading with thi-m who have no territorial dealers on the rclcstlil emplH' The policy which haa been Inaugurated means , they feel confident , the crntlnucd Integrity of the Chinese govern ment , vov mni.on1 isvii < i. s vrisrinn.

Further a special Impel lal edict Is issued for ( ho protection ot German mlialotis. "China , " llarca YOU Buelow explained , "has thus cou piled with all our diunuuds. ABor regard ! the royal yrotecllou tablets as immensely advantageous. The privilege Is rarely accorded and will consid erably heighten the prcstlgo of the Catholic missionaries in the cjcs of the Chinese. "Tho German government believes It has done all neccfsary for the prevention of further outrtgca. The best guarantees , however , are the permanent presence , under the treaty , of German men-of-war , and a garrison at Klao Chau , by which It Is hoped tlio authorities and population of China will not again forget that no wrong done to Ger man subjects will be allowed to pass unpun ished. " Baron von Buelow , In concluding , said the negotiations with rcfcrcnco to the construc tion of ralluajs and the workings of coal mines wcro proceeding favorably. The gov ernment chose Klao Chau , because it was not too near the Trench and British rpheren of Interest , or Russia's sphere of power. Klao Chau was not an cldorado , but expert judges predicted for It a sound and steady commercial advancement. 1IUMKS 'Iini.ATIO.NS ' WITH 11UCYFUS. neriunii iMInlHler Sn > StorlcH Arc 1'nre Indention , BERLIN , Jan. 21 The minister for for eign affaire , Baron \on Buelow , made a state ment today before the budget committee of the Reichstag In regard to the Drcyfua af fair.

"I regarded , and still regard , the pro posed annexation of these Islands as no only opposed to our national policy , but a a perversion of our national mission.

The same answer can bo made to the statement that my op position to Hawaiian annexation was basci merely on dissatisfaction with the treaty pwidlnc before the senate at the tlmo of my second Inauguration.

WAR SHIP FOR CUBA United States Ilonting Arsou.a.1 Ordered to Sail for Havana. liSTAIN THE MAJESTY OF THE NAW bnators Pleased to Hear that the fchipij About to Sail , [ SITUATION is EMINENTLY SATISFACTORY Squadron Not Collected at Key West for Dress Parade Purpo3es , SHIPS OSTENSIBLY ENGAGED IN DRILL I.OIIR : Vn > H ( lu. aiiilin. Will Malta FrleiHlly Cull , hut i\er > huity Kl e llelle\eH It IN There for HiixIneNN , WASHINGTON , Jan. 24. Within forty- clght houis , for the first tlmo slnco the Insurrection broke out In Cuba three > car < i ago , the United States Roverment will bo represented in tho.harbor of Havana by a war ship. The decision to send the Unlteil States steamer Maine was finally reached at a special meeting this morning between President McKlnlcy , Secietary Long , As sistant Secretary Day , Attorney General McKenna and General Miles , and it Is n , striking fact tint with the exception ot the cecrotnry of the navy and the attornoj gen-t oral not a member of the cabinet know , of the president's Intention to take this action. It Is not denied that tome suchf move has been long in contemplation , as Is evidenced In the following statement ot .Assistant Secretary Day , made this nftor- iioon : "Tlio sending of the Maine to Havuia simply means the resumption of friendly ; naval relations with Spain. H Is cuotomaiy ; with naval vessels of frlendlj nations to pass In and out of the harbors of other countries with whom they nro at peace , and British and German war vessels visit Havana. Thla Is no new move. The presi dent has Intended to do It for some tlmo , but something has happened to postpone It. Iho orders of the Maine mean nothing moro than I have nald , and there Is nothing ; alarming In them. The Spanish minister heio is Informed of what is going on aml _ so far as I know has not made the sllghtc'st' objection to It. " LEE DID NOT SEND FOR IT. "Further , " Mr. Day said , "Consul General Leo had not sent for a war nhlp.f This statement shqws that the move wna made deliberately , and it could not havo. been' ' taken If there were serious apprehension ot' Its results in Havana. " The general belief here , however , Is that In Madrid , rather than In any Cuban town , Is trouble to be looked for If thcro should bo any misapprehension of the action of the government In sending the Maine to Havana. The temper of the opposition newspapers In the Spanish capital haa been thrcateiilij ; fop some time , and It may require Iho strong hand of the news censor to supptc&s utter ances that would lead to noting. Admiral Slcnrd's inleis wcro not mule public In their tovt , but it was stated that their substance wcro made public In the utteianccs of Secretary Long The orders were not sent direct to the Maine for tlio icason that It Is now attached to the squad ron , and the naval regulations require nil buch orders to go through the superior offi cer. Theio la Bomo question whether the telegram reached the admlial before ho railed with his squadron from Key West for Toitugas The belief IB that It did not , but this will make little difference In the pro gram , Inasmuch as the telegram will doubt- IP ° S bo sent to the admiral by ono of the lorjiciio boats or by other means The details of the Maine's movements are believed to be left to the airangonient of Admlial Slcard , 'but ' It li thought that the ship , which put to sea with the squadron , will return to Key West before going to Havana. GERMAN SHIPS AT HAVANA. The German ships to which Afcslstant Sec retary Day referoil aie the Chai lotto and the Gcycr , both training ships and not oC formidable tjpo , though .0110 sufficed to settle - tlo hastily the recent Haytlan difficulty. Their touching at Havana Is not believed to bo significant , as their cruise was arranged : In alt the details last September , and the ships are duo at Charleston , S , C. , early la February. The commander of the Maine , Captain Slgs- hccIs a favorlto In the Navy department. For four yeans ho was chief of the hydro- graphics ofilco and by his energy brought the ofilco to a high standout. Ho was lucky to get BO Important a ship as the Maine , considering his actual rank , which IH that of a commander , but Immediately ho Justi fied the depaitment's Judgment In the se lection by running his ship uttalght Into a doc ) : In Now York harbor to avoid run ning down n packed excursion boaj.
