President Palma, after a conference with United States Minister Squirm, caused thla Information to be transmitted through proper channels to the Spanish conaul gen eral and diplomatic agent. The initiative taken by Spaln'a minister, Abarur.s, aeeklng an appropriation from tha Madrid Cortes to enable the crown to bid upon the work and undertake the ex traction of the wreck, while it may be ap preciated by those Spaniards Innocent of the charge of complicity In the destruction ot the old Maine, cannot but be regarded In Cuban government circles as Inoppor tune and premature and calculated to re vive a question which could have undesir able results. The president and cabinet are not dis posed to lend assent .to such a proposition which would contribute to the weakening of their present good relatione with the one or the other of the governments most interested in the outcome of the new In vestigation which the Spanish minister would have the government of Cuba auth orlso that of Madrid to undertake. The aecretary of tha treasury haa re rerelved a proposition to remove the wreck ot the battleship Maine. It came from an American, whose name the secretary de clines to diacloae. The proposition docs not call for payment either way. Pending Its acceptance it has been decided to in clude the Maine in the advertisement for bids for the removal of various wrecks.

He slid public opinion at first demanded action, since Germany's honor seemed engaged, but after action had been taken, apparently with auccess, public opinion changed anl double arose ss to whether It was necessary for Germany to risk so much. Chancellor von Buelow replied: The Venezuelan matter from the first wai neither a question of terrltoilai acquisition nor of n-lory lor uh, but to a eeit.ement tnrouxh extraordinary means ef business whicn had been complicated by th debtor' unti UKlwortnlness, woereoy, or course, me maintenance ot our honor played a part.

Breaches of the Law. We dare not Ruhmlt tn breaches of the law. Otherwise we would not need sh'ps or cannons. The Venezuelan case wae ex ceptional.

Proof that force was necessary heie Is seen from the fact that the English gnv- whereas It Is a well known principle of England's commercial policy that every buuy investing private capital abroad doea so upon his own risk. We found ourselves In a d. lemma, but nobody can reproach us with acting with out sobriety and calmness. We nad to take care that our relations with other powers should not be disturbed through this relatively subordinate matter.

Von Buelow then summarized tha terms ot the protocol, mentioning that Venezuela had already paid the first installment of the German Indemnity and said: The claims of the second class have not vet been subjected to Investigation. The Venezuelan government is ready to co-op erate In a joint commission at Caracas in Investigating and fixing the amounts of these claims. The third class claims will also be settled. The cost of the blockade cannot yet be elated, but it is small. We have decided not to make a demand that Venezuela pay an Indemnity to cover the costs of the blockade owing to the rather hopeless flnan. clal condition of that country.' we attained what we wanted and what under the circumstances waa attainable. The action against Venezuela waa inaugu rated without a fanfare oi trumpets and with all necessary vigor r.nd was carried to the 'end without weakness and within expedient boundp. , The chancellor then turned to the Drel bund, saying: It will be renewed unchanged at the proper time, which proves It Is not an accidental or temporary constellation. Its object is tne maintenance oi the status quo and peace. The Lrlbund la the most peaceful, the strongest and the most last ing and the most elastic alliance.

I attribute to American Intervention the hostile attitude of tha Venezuelans. Herr Oertel, agrarian, aald: We came out of the Venezuelan affair fairly well. 1 cannot pass a more favorable opinion, i rejoice over tne co-operation with Enaland. for tha latter showed an energetic activity from which our states men coma learn a lesson.
