BERLIN , Aug. 16.-Andrew D. White , the
United States ambassador , before starting
at noon today for Hamburg , where ho will
take the vaters , niatle the following state-
meat to the correspondent of the Associated -
ated Press :
So far us I can see the state of thIngs
between ( Jerinaiiy and the United States
remains satisfactoty. ThroughoUt the var
the German government has troted uS
fairly and so tar as seeing any cOuSu br
complaint , on our part , it seenis to be that.
tim fairness of the German government's
atitude requires recognition ,
Vitlt regard to their sending forces to
the Philippines , that. matter has already
been fully cleared up. There was nothing
% viiatever in it to show ill vill toward the
United States , nor was' there auy PurPose
to Interfere with our operations.
\Vith regard to Germzns reaching after
colonies or centers of iniiuence in the bar
east , I have never hesitated to avow m'seIf
as heartily In favor of such undertakings.
I regard every establishment of such
sPheres of intiuence by great civilizing pow-
era. if they feel they can dmiuIstor them
tithout Injury to them , as a benefit to the
world at large. . -
Every part of the barbic world brought
into touch with civilization by a power like
Germany Is a clear gain , not only to Ocr-
neny , but to the United States and to all
other civilized powers.
I rejoice in the returz of peace and I be-
iicve that the conduct ot the war with such
amazing vigor and effect , considering Amer-
Ica's uurepare lpes it1td de ds ,9f her's
that marked it. v1ll do much to bring btthk
the old German feelings otoSpQct. for tb
United States. ' i
A large proportion .of tha Qermans had
come to regani the scum thrown to the
surface durtrg the ebulition of American
activities as the entire contents of the
catiltiion , They had taken too seriously
statements regarding American life made
by s-3nsationai correspondents and had conic
to believe that American Patriotism was
dead ; that the men controling our public
affairs were wretchedly incpznpetent that.
a contemptible "dollar iorhip" had destroyed -
stroyed all noble asptrations. that the
capacity to conceive. noble deeds had vanIshed -
Ished and that all these qUalIties had
yielded to the' passion for money grabbing.
IJut the Gerniana are thoughtful and honest
and when they ponder the war now happily
closed they vIhl find the qualities displayed
Iii the American civil war arc today as act-
lye as ever. Already the newspapers Ia
Gernmny are beginning toreaiize , this.
The full and free acceptance by the lSnited
States dt the commexicexneilt Of the war of
the regulations established by the Paris
ouferenco of 1856 and the fact that the
American government went even farther by
Imposing upon itself additjoual humanita-
lion rules , despite the declaration of Spain
that it intended to resort to the old practices -
tices of warfare against American coin-
merce and American interests generally ,
ceonot fail to gain for us the favor of nil
jubhicIats worthy of the name ,
As to the public at large , it it ponders
the subject , it can hardly bail to be struck
with the desire of the United States to
be fair and just to Spain , even to be kindly
and to avoid everything that can injure its
pjrido antI sensibility. Of course , there will
be always current questions , seine quite
difileult , growing out of the commercial ,
manufacturing and agricultural rivalry o
the United States and (3crmaily , but I think
the peace will leave us In a , better fraino
of mind for dealing with them In a manner
satisfactory to both.

WASl1INGTO , Aug. 16.-Tue mustering
out of the volunteer army raised in ( lefeulPu'
of the union against the armies of SpaIn
prcticahiy began nt the War deparimetit
today and will be cobtinued until the army
has been lilacell on a basis consistent with
our present celations to the nations of the
earth
Orders were prepared today for the muster-
lug out 0t about 5,000 volunteers , including
nearly twenty-five regiments of infantry and
about. eight troops of cavalry anti fivu or si
batteries of artillery.
The details of the order bearing on this
subject have not yet been fully perfected and
the officials confine themselves to general
statements in regard thereto. It was admitted -
mitted that the First regiment of Vermont
volunteers , attached to the Third army corpa ,
encamped at Chlckamatiga. Ga. , had been
ordOred to proceed to Fort Ethan Allen , Vt.
That post is the nearest one to the homes qf
the 'members of the regiment and was se-
lectcd with a view to their mustering out
Boon after they arrive there ,
Adjutant General Corbin said that a elm-
ilar course would be followed in the case of
other voIunter regiments selected for inns-
bring nut. They would , he eald , be or-
di'red to their state capitals as soon it could
be done without danger to the interests of
the government anti mustered out of the
military service as rapidly as possible. In
response to a direct. Inquiry on the subject -
ject , General Corbin said that this course
iotuid be tohlowod in the case of the First
regitnent District of Columbia volunteer in-
fantry. According to the present plane ,
this regiment , which is now about to cot-
borIc at SantIago , wiil be detained in the
camp at Montauk Point , L. I , , just long
enough to enable them to get a complete
new outfit of clothing and to recuperate
from the fatigues of the hard campaign near
Santiago. It Is , therefore , probable that
after the District of Columbia soldiers have
been at Montaulc Point a few weeks they
will be ordered to Washington , and remain
In service here until they are regularly
mustered out.
Unless there is a decided change in tha
present plans of the War departnlent about
100,000 volunteers will bo mustered out
within the next thirty days.
Formal announcement of the plans of the
department on thi3 subject are being de-
fcrred pending the receipt of certain desired
information from Major General Merritt ,
commanding the military forces In the Phil-
Ippinea. Advicea are hourly expected from
hint as to his wishes In the matter , There
Is it large number of vohunteere in the Phil-
1pInes , and it is possible that it may be
deemed advisable to bring them home and
if necessary to replace them with regulars.
The proposed reduction ef the army to the
extent of 100,000 men will still leave a mill-
tary force of about 116,000 men , regulars and
volunteers , available for all military pur :
poses. It Is believed to be the purpose Of
the administration to maintain an army of
at least 100,000 men until all the pending
complications with Spain are finally dIe-
posodf. , . ,

CISNA PARK , Ill. , Aug. 16-The fun and
merriment a the reunion of the old settlers
at this city today were suddenly interrupted
by an accident , in which thirty of the
merry-makers were injured. As a game of
ball was in progress in the afternoon the
temporary grandstand collapsed. Eight
hUndred persons vent down in the wreck
and the groans and shrieks of the injurOd
were heartrending. Some of them were only
slightly bruised or scratched , It seemed
marvelous that none were inStantly killed.

mel , Milford , hurt internally ; C , C. Ciiam-
benlain , Hopeston , nose broken ; Miss Crawford -

all , 'Hopeston , sprained ankle ; Mrs. Ranton ,
CiBna Park , leg broken ,
A crowd of 500 ieoplo from Iroquois , Vermillion -
million , Kanlcakee and adjoining counties
crowded on the temporary grand stand ,
which had only been erected for the cc-
eaMon. Thie seats were filled in a few mm-
tites , but this did not prevent others from
crowding in the aisles of the gallery and
occupying every available inch of apace ,
The tremendous weight overstrained the
beams and the grand stand gave way. A
* arning cry was uttered and this precipitated -
tated the accident. A rush of persons try-
log to get oil the grand stand brought the
weight in one spot and the whole structure
collApsed.
Eight hundred persons toll with the
broken beanie. Men , women find children
struggled to free themselves from each
other and the splintered beanie , hones
were broken or crushed under falling
beams , Those injured will recover.
