WASHINGTON , Teb. 3. A brief cable
gram from Ambassador Whlto at Derln ! ,
that came to tha Department of State last
evening , conveyed the only olflclal Informa
tion so far received as to the decree ot ex
clusion of American , fruit from Pru&ila
This cablegram was so meagtr that a re
quest has been nent to Mr Whlto for
further details. While It Is not positively
Known , It Is supposed the decree appll"s
only to Prussia , end not to all Germany , a
considerable limitation Whether or not It
also applies to Canadian fruit U n matter
of speculation , anil In vlovv ot the large
trade In Canadian apples this will bo Im
portant for the Dominion authorities to
consider.
The German ambassador was a visitor at
the State department early today nnd spent
Homo tlmo with the olllclals. After talking
with Secretary Sherman and Assistant Sec
retary Day the ambassador wns half an
hcur In clrso consultation with Mr. Kassnn ,
the peclal commissioner for the United
States In the negotiation of reciprocity
agreements The ambissador had no news
from Ucrllt ! directly tu to the last ( Jeered
which threatens to kill all hope of the ne
gotiation of any kind cf a reciprocity treaty
or agreement within the terms ot the pres
ent tariff act. so far as Germany Is con
cerned. It Is gathered that the bast" of
tlio decree , or rather the reason ofilektllj
to bo act out by the Prussian govern
ment fcr the exclusion , Is thit
some Kh'i ' > ii"nts of American apples ,
coming ftom Cillfo-nla have been discov
ered to bo affected with the disease known
as "San Jose ocale " but Just bow German
ppples are endangered , even If this fact
bhould be established , U not made plain
One of the standing complaints against
American dried fruit , the trade In which
with Germany has pssumcd enormous pro-
portlora. Is again brought to oiliclal notice
by a report tint comes to the State de
partment from United States Cons il Ozmun
at Stuttgart and Is today made public In the
dally consular repoits Ho traroinlts a no
tice Issued b > the thief of police of Stutt-
Kirt , to the effect that most of the samples
of American applelnirs , or dried apnlcs , tiKcn
fiom the local retailers , show the addition
of metallic zinc In quantities of 0 " \ grams to
the kilogram ( i 2048 pounds ) , and warning all
dealers that they will bo punished and their
Broils confiscate 1 If further sales of such
goods 010 made This complilnt was ma Jo
to the department first about two jears ago
the Germin chief of police In Cologne asseit-
Ing In his notice that the zinc was present
In the apples , because the "AnericanH 'ry
the fruit o'i zinc tras , instead of wooden
bars rn we do "
Immediately one of the most cnterpilsing
of our consuls In German ) v Islted an agri
cultural exposition then going on In Ger-
mar/ and icportcd that all of the fruit evap
orators exhibited , about fourteen In num
ber , wcro fitted with the alleged harmful
? lnc tr.is , which WPIO freely used In Gei-
INCLUDES ALL TKUITS.
Durlnr ; the afternoon further advices wore
received from Ambassador While as to the
nature of the decree It w-oJld seem tin :
the full details arc not ) et oValnable In
Perlln , but It Is cxoccted t * . at the amlar-
sador will cable the eatlie decree as SODI
as ho can obtain possession of It. The Im
portant facts that wcro establ ohed by the
last advices were :
rlrst , that the decree of exclusion tnes
the wc-d " \ni"ri"an" as descriptive of the
, 'ace of origin of the fruit , which would
seem to laclu le CoiaiUan fiult without ques
tion , second , that the de iee , Instead of cr >
, iblng only to frpf'i fruit , as vas at flr.'t
sup > oscd , Includes In the prohibition all
r..led fruits from America.
State dcnrtment officials have met ) ct
r" . ovcred C'oii their surprise > at the ruetl'tid
ilppted by the Gciman goveimiiPtit on ac
"oiollshlng Its object In this matter , and un-
doubtclly'tlie corrctocodcice to follow will
set tills out very clearly
Tno objection to the course pursued is
t irce-fold In the Jlrst place , It is said to
' 10 entirely v.ithoutocedc ] , , and ] I 'cour
teous toward the American ambassador at
Peril ] ! , to make the decree and put It Into
clfcct without the rllghtcst warning t'o 'li n
In the second naci ! > , b ) making the decree
' iKo effect at oiue. and stopping all fruit
In transit a greit Injustice- done to sh'o-
ncrs who thus , without warning , are made
IT lose heavily on their o o'tal ' Invested li
f'e fruit Third , the decree Is ccndcmnel In
that It makes no proxlbian for the ndn.L sh i
of fruit of aLsoltitc purit ) , iiermlta no demon
stration of oilgln or hriltbful condition
pod. In fact condemns all fruit , good and
bad alike These considerations are to be
bt-ongly uiged inon t'io Gerrran Kovsri-
nient > is reason ? wh ) It d'.iculd cither revoke
or modify the decree on the lines Indicated
before any more radical action la taken.
