The most significant settlement vvns made by an ofllclal who has the full confidence of the minister for foreign affairs , Haron von Duolow. H was as follows : "An understanding ban been reached be tween Great Britain and Germany on cer tain points which have long been under dis cussion and on some new quesllons. The agreement is limited ; far from being o the wldc-renching nature represented by the newspapers ; the reports in the English newspapers are mostly guesswork , the wish being fnlher to Iho thought. There have been many questions in dispute , such as Togoland , In southwesl Afrlcn. These arc now settled , besides other questions which might have caused difficulty In the future such as Dclagoa bny and a joint loan to Portugal. "Tho significance of the agreement does not lla In the Importance of the subject matter , but In the fact that It furnishes the basis for moro cordial relations.

' , and It was generally bellescd that the country's rivals were over-matching It at every point. The completeness of the victory 1ms had a most exhilarating effect and has umloubtedfy Impressed the conti nental nations , while the cordial pralso cabled from the American press has becu much appreciated here. The understanding arrived nt between Oreat Britain and Germany allows the former's rlans In South Africa to bo carried out without fear of a German-Doer alliance , and the dismissal of LI Hung Chang from the Chinese foreign ofllcc , following the czar's peace proposals , Is taken as Idcncn of the complete triumphs of British di plomacy In the far east * .

Who will say now that the horizon Is not clear and that old England , Instead of having taken n lower place , sits on a stilt higher plnaclc. " Trouble AVItli Conimlnmnrj. Whllo the transport and commissariat de partments of the British army , as exempli fied by the admirable ronduct of the Soil- dan campaign , appear to bo beyond reproach in active service , there Is still no lack of allegations that there was a ser ious breakdown during the recent army ma neuvers on Salisbury plain. In the first place , owing to the resources of the war be ing Inadequate to the demands , the contract for the catering was given Sir Thomas Lipton - ton , and If the reports are to bo believed , the soldiers suffered considerable privations. Indeed , It would seem that some suffered so much that they committed oflenses , prefer ring prison to the treatment they were re- cel\lng on Salisbury plain. This Is corrob orated by the fact that the military prisons In the neighborhood were so overcrowded that the ofilclnls declared that they would not receive any further prisoners. Besides this , the sufferers from sickness and acci dents , complain of great neglect. They say they were without food and drink for hours or until Chilians succored them. The tourist agencies are already planning trips to Khartoum which this week has dcni' onstrated to be. less than nlno days fron London.

A long cabled Interview with Mr. Josepf Chamberlain , the British secretary of state for the colonies , who la now In the Unltet States on a visit to his wife's parents , has been received with Incredulity by the English press. The IJally Chronicle says , "That ho should have talked of a rallro.ad through the Transvaal , from Khartoum 'to the cape , or have disclosed the Anglo- German understanding , or performed other feats of a like description Is bc > end be lieving.

The situation Is dally growing worse fovcra are breaking out , and , as the Indlca tlons of rain are as scarce as the signs o snow , the supply of water has already bcci curtailed three hours dally , and promises t < bo further shortened. The heat has also been great In Paris where an Ice famine prevails and the Frencl soldiers have been suffering so much durlni the army maneuvers that they bad to hi abandoued. The Paris meteorological nu thorltlos hold that a sun spot Is reaponslbli for the extreme heat.
