[Prominent Official Explains Her Attitude. A MISUNDERSTANDING I'I he Irono Incident Had Boon Disto ted. Tone of tho Press Changing- Some Kecent Press Comments. Berlin, Aug. 111.���The Associated ll'ross correspondent lias had an interesting interview on the subject of tho Spanish Amerioan war, with a gentle- Ihiun, who, in the absence of Baron Ton liulow, is acting as chief of the Foreign office,and who may be recorded B8 voicing in this conversation the Wmcral offloial viow of the subject llisoussed. The gentlenian began by gaying Baron Von Bulow cautioned no on leaving that no expression of Eprarioi<*contrary to Germany's policy \( neutrality was to be promulgated. Chat wn mean to observe a neutrality hf this description, I think the world l.nows. From the start the foreign Lfflce has made it an invariable rule to lay nothing that eould be interpreted Is offensive to either side, and we liave iu no way tried to influence the llernian press ill favor of the United I'tiites except on ft single occasion. Al ���rst there was SO much hostility Oil lie part of the German press towards United States that we took an larly opportunity to arrange for the ppearauce of articles of a different one. Almost the only nihility existing between Germany and Spain is lounil in tho monarchical institutions, vhile tho bonds uniting Germany and llie United States are numerous, It is true that at the commencement If the war Germans were much influenced by tho fact thai n powerful liition was attacking a weak one. [his was a strong strain upon German Healism and the sense of justice which lliaraeteriy.es the German people. The liere fact tliat you were the aggressors In this case somewhat prejudiced the Ircrman mind against you, quite irre- Ipectivo of tho merit of the controversy. Besides it must not be for- lotten that Germans in the matter of ilitical education are somewhat un- Bpo. It is not long since they became J homogeneous political unity. It is lartly due to this fact that Germans ���ro given to reaching hasty conclusions In questions of politics. Hence, sprang I groat amount of public comment in livor of Spain in the early stages of Bio war. Such talk, however, ought not to be quoted against; tho (li-inmi government in regard to which there has Iun, I think, no just cause of complaint by Americans. As a matter of fael during the pasl fortnight the tone of ih" German press bus been much moro favorable to the United Slates and hardly anything hostile has been nppeared in any of the important papers, while the number of journals openly friendly has considerably in- creasi d, The papers uow point out ihai authorities at Madrid and Manila and the Spanish press were largely responsible for the excitement arising out of the Irene incident, as they misconstrued this ami preceding incidents, in a manner that necessarily aroused suspicion in the Dnited States. A good sample Of the average cdi- torial articles now-a-days is furnished by tho Ijokal Anzeiger, until recently, ne of the most violent ant i-American sheets in Berlin. In an article printed today the Journal draws a parallel between the Turku-Grecian and the Spanish American war, and says that the differenco between the two cases lies mainly in the fact lhat Greece was Ihe attacking and not like Spain the attacked party. This the Lokal-Anzoiger goes on to say, was only a formal difference. For Spain aftor annoying, injuring and provoking a powerful neighbor for a long time bad finally engaged in a war in which she had not the necessary strength to defend her possessions, and had only imposed sacrifices upon herself as she WOS* bound to lose. If on lhe other hand she had sold theso colonies, she would have realized a large sum. " ily her unreasonable attitude." tho Lokal-Anzeigor contiuues, "Spain assumes as large a measure of responsibility as Greece. Both the Spaniards and Greeks are blind, and are full of conceit and vanity. " The newspapers here today discuss elaborately (lie new situation and the changed conditions growing out of the war. The conclusion reached is that the United States, must hereafter be reckoned as a great naval power and lhat Germany will be obliged once more lo increase her navy in order to . hold her own wilh other powers, The Deutscho-Zeitung discussing the an- ; ncxalinn of Hawaii and the plans of theJUnited States as regards the Archipelago says: This means a change in Ihe balance of power ill the South seas regarding which Germany cannot afford tube silent. Admiral Von Knorr, commander-in- chief of the navy informs the correspondent of the Associated Press that during the approaching autumn and winter the German navy will he more strongly reprci inted in American waters that at any time since IWII when Germany took a leading part in the settlement of lie Chilian I rouble. Five warships, the Gier, Hela, Moltke, Sophia and Nixo, carrying 57 guns aud 1684 men will l.e kept there. MILES STOPS FIGHTING. Washington, Aug. 18.���General Miles has cabled the war department that ho is in receipt of Secretary Alger's orders to suspend hostilities in Porto Rico. Washington, Aug. 18.���Tho sudden transition from war to peaco was reflected today in a complete dullness ami stagnation in oflieial circles. Instead of the bustle and activity which have prevailed for months through the corridors of the war department and navy, there was a calmness not apparent since the midsummer vacations of last year. Most of tho Officials went home early in tho day. There will he a large amount of details to be worked out from this time forward, the grad ual reduction of the army and navy lo a peaco footing; the establishment of temporary and permanent administrations for our new colonial possessions, caring for the wounded and prisoners, and the relief of distress in Cuba. The question which demands immediate attention is the appointment of the peace commission which is to meet at* Paris and the military commissions to meet at Havana and San Juan. The president conferred with Secretary Day during tbo day relative to the peace commission but it was said at the state department late in (be d-y that the, announcement of the commissioners appointed might be deferred for some days. It is understood that the president has fully determined upon the personnel of the commission. Several of lhe public men who saw him today were satisfied that the commission would be made up of Secretary Day, Senators Allison and Gorman, either Joseph H. Choato of New York or Elihu llott. and probably a prominent army officer. General Gorbiu is spoken favorably of in connection with tho appointment of the commission, The military commissioners for Cuba and Porto Rico are not receiving any attention from! the state department as the military authorities will havo entire charge of these branches of the peace settlements. During the day the state department received a call from M. Thiebault, secretary of the Frencli embassy for the purpose of leaving a letter explaining (he authority given by cable to the French ambassador to sign the protocol. These assurances had already been given verbally and in tho courso of a few days the complete written authorization from Madrid will bo filed with the state department, Many congratulations keep coining into tho stato department and to the Whito House on the establishment of peace. It is expected that the occupation of Manila under the terms of tho protocol will occur within tho next few hours. It was at first thought that the navy department bad a despatch boat at Hong Kong ready to carry forward the orders to Admiral Dewey and General Merritt, but, thu department declared today that there was no despatch boat at Hong Kong, although one was likely to reach there or tomorrow. Meanwhile it is possible that Consul Wildnian may charter a steamer and send the order forward. He has general instructions as despatch agent and it was said at the state department today that these instructions were given iu tho present case. General Greely is satisfied that no use cau be made of the cable connecting Hong Kong with Manila as thero are no cable operators al the Manila end. Acting Secretary Alton said today that the matter of establishing coaling stations, the disposition of Admiral Cervera and other Spanish prisoners, and like questions brought up hy tho peace settlement, would reeeivo consideration in due timo but there was no immediate necessity for passing upon (hi in. Preparations aro being made to receive the battleships and armored cruisers now under orders to come north. Tho war department was I busy all day with matters pertaining I to the cessation of hostilities. Seore- | tary Alger consulted the president for ] some time but when he returned he said that tho military commissioners ; for Ouba and Porto Rico would not be announced today. There was no need I for haste, he said, as by tho terms of i the protocol ten days were allowed for ��� the selection of the commission. There I hits been somo speculation as to who will be commissioners, and nearly all the more prominent officers of the army havo been canvassed, both volunteer and regular, and it seems to bo generally conceded that General Lee will be one of the commissioners for Cuba on account of bis knowledge of he conditions in this island. General Brooke and General Henry are mentioned as probable commissioners for Porto Rico. The subject of mustering out a part of the volunteer forces has been considered, and it is probable the total force will be reduced to 15,000 meu. This mustering out will begin at once. Garrisons of both regular and volunteer soldiers wil! remain in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. Manila and Porto Rico will bo governed llirough the army at present, and probably the authority which the United States exerts in Cuba will be by tho same method, This state of affairs is likely to continue until congress mels. It is the understanding of the war department that the Spanish soldiers in all places over which the United States exercises authority will be virtually prisoners of war, and under the orders of the United Statos officers in command. Tbe war department is now exercising every effort in the direction of the care of the sick and wounded soldiers and is pushing forward plans to make the troops more comfortable. RUSSIA AND CHINA. Russia i.s Intriguing for the Removal of Sir Robert Hart. London, Aug. lli.���A special despatch received here today says: The China Gazette that states the Russian government has Li Hung t 'hang's promise,made during his visit to St. Petersburg, that China would place the Imperial customs under Russian control whenever the interests of the two countries demanded the change. Li Hung Chang is said to favor M. Pavloff, tho Russian charge d'affaires superseding Sir Robert Hart, a inspector general of Chinese customs. The emperor has issued several striking decrees ordering the viceroys and Tartar generals to coueert measures for the formation of a new navy under foreign instructors, and urging thc provincial governors lo abandon their time-honored Chinese ideas in favor of western methods, and to encourage the development of the country on European lines. Tbe Russians have obtained control of large tracts of land along the route of the proposed Nu-Chwang railway. i non Sensational Rumor Reached the Blockaders TOOK THE MONSERRAT Arrangements to Intercept Him���The Dixie and Yankee Go to Bahama Channel- Goes to Jamaica- THE CUBAN ATTITUDE. The Provisional Government Has Accepted tho Armistice. Washington, Aug. 18.���Senor Palma, tho head of the Cuban Juana hasj sent tbo following cable by way of Santiago: Bartolonieo Masso, President of the Cuban Republic. Santiago, Cuba. I havo this 18th day of August, 1898, accepted in tho name of tbo Cuban provisional government the armistice proclaimed by the United States. You should give immediate orders to tho army throughout Cuba, suspending "all hostilities.

PORTO RICAN SUCCESSES. Playa del Este, Aug. 18, 8 p. in.��� The American warships New York, Brooklyn, Oregon, Indiana, Iowa and Massachusetts will sail tomorrow for Tonipkinsville unless the navy department decides that they shall wait for the troops from Santiago de Cuba. On Thursday evening the Scorpion conveyed to Admiral Sampson Washington despatches from Playa del Este that it was rumored that Captain General 1" co had escaped from Havana, possibly on the steamer Mouserrat. Commodore Watson was communicated with and (he Dixie and Yankee were sent to Bahama channel to head off Blanco. Admiral Sampson at once decided to go to the western extremity of Jainacia to intercept Blanco, should he attempt to escape in that direction. The flagship made lli knots an hour despite (he foulness of her bottom and arrived off Jamaica yesterday morning and cruised around. Ou Thursday evening Commodore Watson instructed Commodore Schley to go to the southern blockading line and warn thein of tho rumored escape of Blanco. While leaving tho harbor the Brooklyn in endeavoring to gat out of the way of u transport went hard aground and did not* get off until yesterday afternoon, when she was hauled off by the Oregon. No damage was done, but it was too late for her to perform in the mission on whieh she was sent. The Vixen was sent after the New York but returned in the afternoon. A SPEEDY RETREAT. The San Francisco (.toes Too Close aud Gets Hit. Key West, Fla , Aug. 18.���9 p. m.��� The flagship San Francisco and tbe monitor Miautoiimab and iho auxiliary l yacht Ziloia wero fired upn by tho Havana batteries shortly before fivo yesterday morning. One ten or twelve inch shell struck the San Francisco's stem as she turned to get out of range and tore a hole about one foot in diameter, completely wrecking Commodore Howell's quarters, and smashing his book case to fragments. Nobody was injured, and, being under orders not to attack the batteries the ships retreated as fast as their engines could carry tbem. American Artillery is Successful at Acomanta. Washington, Aug. 18.���Adjutant General Corbin tonight received the following telegram: Ponce, Aug. 18, 1898. Secretary of War, Washington, D. C. General Wilson reports that Major Lancaster with Pott's battery at 10:80 p. m. 12th inst., quickly silenced the enemy's batteries at Acomanta, near Aibonto and drove him from his position and rifle pits. Thore was no infantry fire on our part, Liouteuant John P. Haynes, 4th artillery was struck by a stray Mauser bullet, but was not seriously wounded. A shell from the enemy's guns burst just ovor ono of our pickets, killing and wounding four. (Signed) MILES. MANZANILO SHELLED. Spanish and American Commanders Did Not Know of the Poace. Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 13.-5 p. m. ���Advices were received by General Shaftor this morning to the effect that Manzanillo was bombarded yesterday, day and night, and again this morning. General Shafter at once cabled to the Spanish commander at Manzanilo that peace had heen declared and requested him to adviso the American commander of the fact under a flag of truce, which he did, and tho shelling of tho town ceased. A FATAL CLOUDBURST. Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 13.���A special to the Banner from Knoxvillo says: News has just reached horo that a cloudburst has occurred at Beach creek, a remote locality in Hawkins county, nearly 20 miles from Rogors- ville.

George Foster's address, delivered on Saturday night at tho Fire Hall,was well worth listening to, and that for many reasons. Mr. Foster is a very ablo man, a fluent and entertaining speaker and a past master in that art of juggling with figures which some politicians mistake for statesmanship and able finance. He performed some peculiarly daring feats in that particular form of acrobatics on Saturdayevening thinking, presumably, that living so far away from Ottawa the people of Nelson had neither heard nor road [of the complete way those statements had been refuted by Mr. Fielding. Mr. Foster trotted out for inspection and review several of the pet* grievances which tho conservatives cherish against the liberals. The chief of these is the able way the Laurier government is handling tho tariff question. The liberals, during the last Dominion election campaign, announced their intention of treating the matter of the tariffs on quite a different* principle from that on wliich tho comervatives had acted. Free trade they said was their goal, and in the meantime tariffs should, so far as possible, be maintained for revenue purposes only. Ou the accession of Sir Wilfred Laurier to power, tho conservatives hoped and apparently expected, that the liberals would he foolish enough to sweep away the whole system of tariffs at ono fell swoop, and anticipated a great accession of strength to themselves as the result of the consequent general dislocation of business The liberals, however, most unfeelingly declined to play into the hands of their opponents. They knew that great and radical changes must be effected slowly, if them are to be beneficial, and they refused to product* by a violent upheaval of tho economic conditions of tho country thoso results which eould lie more wisely obtained by gradual and systematic even though changos, tho operation should occupy some years before fully consummated. Tho preferential duties in favor of British merchandise a aro step in tho right direction, as are also the substantial reductions to bo found in many other sections of tho tariff. It is true that tho duty on certain articles has been raised, but they are articles of luxury, such as tobaccoand, thc incroaso is for revenue purposes, aud not for the protection of any particular industry, aud tho pre-election pledges have consequently not been violated either in the letter or in the spirit. Mr. Foster complained also of the increased revenue derived by the pres ent administration. It must be very mortifying to the honorable gentleman to see his successor dealing in surpluses where ho had been accustomed to contemplate deficits, and he has our deepest sympathy in the matter, but surely a surplus is a queer kind of an argument to use against a government ! Throughout his address Mr. Foster, though undoubtedly entertaining, was the reverse of candid. What could be disingenuous than his statement that the liberals had introduced the American spoils system? While we do not intend to discuss the system itself, the facts in this particular case are well known. For eighteen long years the conservatives were in power, and for eighteen long years all liberals were debarred from all posts in the gift of the government. The conservatives had rigidly adhered to the rule of making partisan appointments for eighteen years, aud with what de- gioo of justice can they blame the lib- erls, when they at last obtained office, for removing the ban that had lain for so long upon their followers? It was but a righteous retribution, and the logical result of the actions of the conservatives themselves. Mr. Foster referred to the bonus granted by his government for tho smelting of silver-lead ore, and said that they had paid out nothing under the grant because there were no sniel- ters then in operation. Ho pointed to the Trail and Hall Mines smelters now in full blast and scored tho liborals for not having paid out any money under tho grant, and said that they had consistently refused to consider any claims for the bonus. He also implied that those smelters had started up in consequence of this bonus, which will be news to Mr. Heinze and the Hall Mines Co. It may interest Mr. Foster to know that the Trail smelter has never yet treated silver-load ores, neither has the Hall Mines smelter (with (he exception of 700 tons smelted this spring) and thus his story of the liberal government persistently refusing to pa}- the bonus is palpably untrue, whilo his claiming the credit for tho establishment of copper smelters by tho grant of a bonus for smelting silvor- lead is ridiculous. If this is the way Mr. Foster perverts facts, intelligent persons may bo pardoned for the incredulity with wliich they received his extravagant statements on Saturday night. It is now nearly four months since Mr. A. E. Hodgins was empowered to organize an volunteer company in Nelson. A mess room has been secured, the company roll is full and the men drill regularly and enthusiastically. Everybody in Nelson connected with tho South Kootenay Rides has done his duty, and the remissness of the militia department i.s consequently the more to be deplored. It was only tlie other day that the officers' commissions were gazetted, and the Miner learns that* neither uniforms nor rifles havo yot been supplied. A stand of arms was recently sent to the coast, but the authorities thero havo refused to send any to Nelson, and up to the present no more have been forthcoming from headquarters, If a thing is worth doing at all, it is worth doing well, and how can the authorities expect the men to keep up tho necessary interest in the company if they do not possess the most rudimentary equipments. Moreover, (he men are prevented from becoming efficient. How cau a man learn to become the master of his weapons, if ho is uot supplied with the arms? Whether it is rod tape or forgetfulness that has caused the delay The. Miner is not in a position to say, but if tho department wishes the volunteer movement in this part of tho country to bo a success, it hud better wake up before it is too late.

According to the luto Beu Holli- day, he, Holliday, wns invitod by the president to bo present whilo the cab iuet considered n certain important measure. Tho discussion was long, thorough and very earnest, and at its conclusion it was plain that the cabinet was a unit. At tho proper timo the president said: "Gentlemen, wo will vote. Thoso in favor say Ayo.'' "Aye!" said tho president. "Those opposed sny No," continued the Lincoln, and every member of tho cabinet voted No. "Tho Ayes havo it," asid Lincoln; und ho lived to facilitate himself upon the firmness of his judgment. If upon tho question of the keeping of the Philippines the entire cabinet of tho present- day should voto No, it would ho tho duty of President McKinley to have his "Ayo" prevail.��� .Spokesman-Review.

GEORGE E FOSTER^t5wrussr�� , UbUilUij Iii lUiJlUU the United States and whicl Ex-Minister of Finance Discusses Political Questions. THE POLICY CRITICIZED Mr. Foster States lhat tlio Liberals Have Not Fulfilled Their Anto-Eleo- tion Premises. f tho old actieed in hich had been discarded years ago. The tiarty having been in the cold shades of opposition for eighteen years were naturally very hungry for oliiee. In many eases competent civil servants were dismissed for no other reason than to provide positions for Grit party heelers. The speaker elosed an address of an I hour imd'ii half with an eloquent peroration, in which ho reviewed the progress whieh the Dominion had made since 18(17, eulogized the great fathers of confederation, and stated that Canada today iR the peer of any country ou earth, in undeveloped natural resources, quality of her institutions and the prospects of tho future. At the conclusion of Mr. Foster's address, it. was moved by John A.Turner, and seconded by A. K. Hodgins uud Alderman Hillyer thut* tho thanks of tlm audience be tendered to the honorable gentleman for his able address. The motion was carried unanimously after which Mr. Foster briefly replied, nnd the meeting dispersed, everyone being well pleased at having hud the pleasure of hearing the ex-minister of finance discuss tho political questions of the day in such ;ut able manner. 1898 PROVINCIAL '.898 Hon. George E. Foster, minister of finance in the late Dominion Federal cabinet,arrived in the city on Saturday after a visit to mining properties in the Slocan country, iu which he is interested. On Saturday evening Hon. Mf. Foster addressed a public meeting in tho Fire Hall, which although hastily called was well attended. He is one of the leaders of the conservative party in Dominion politics end is a very fluent and logical speaker and an able debater. His discussion of the issues of the day was listened to wilh interest and attention. Mr. .lohn Elliott was appointed chairman and introduced the speaker as one of the leading statesmen of Canada. Mr. Foster on rising wus received j Washington 2 with applause. He began by cougratu , luting his audience on the signs of prosperity and progress which he saw | in Nelson and predicted a bright future j for the commercial metropolis of the j Kootenays. Ho then proceeded to discuss Dominion political questions dealing with I the turitt', on which issue he claimed ' that the liberal party on obtaining rowly escaped with her Iif power had gone back on all their unte- electiou promises nnd hud adop policy of tirotection party.

She was captured by the Confederates during the siege of Richmond and uor- id the the conservative party. Prior to the election on Juno 28, 1806, the liberals hnd never wearied of denouncing the national policy and declared that if elected their policy would be "Free trade as they have it tu England." They won the election but found thut lhe only true tariff policy for a young country I like Canada was thnt inaugurated and j carried out by the conservatives. On j tho tariff and on the Manitoba school question the conservative had a well defined polioy nnd tbo peoplo of the i country knew exactly where to lind it. j The liberals were elected entirely upon '��� their promises and not on their past record. Since tho election they hnd repudiated nearly every promise made I previously. He was a linn believer iu j party polities both in Dominion anil Provincial matters, Under it a better class of candidates come forward for i election. For eighteen years the liber- I ais made charges of extravagance against the conservatives government, and accused them of increasing the national debt of the country lo an unnecessary extent. During the six years from 181)0 to 1898 the debt bud been in- oroasd |2,600,000 per year; during lhe two years rule ot the liberals the delit had been increased by $8,775,000 per yoar. Under conservative rule the annual expenditure was little over $86,- 000,000, while tho flrst year of tho liberal rule the expenditure was over 140,000,000, for the fiscal vear lSUS-!) it will reach $111,000,01)0. In this way he claimed that the liberals had deceived tho electors of Canada and hud obtained power under false pretenses. Some liberals claimed that the party should have credit for gold in the Klondike, (he good crops of Manitoba and the growth of tho cattle industry in Alberta, but what had they ever dono for tho Kootenay country. In 1895 when the Kootenay was just coming into prominence, tho conservative government passed an act granting a bonus of five cents per ton on all silver-lead ore smelted in the country and appropriated thu sum of $15,000 for that* purpose. Up to June 28, 1898, nn claim for the bonus was niade und since that LEAD US NOT ASTRAY. Cur historic policy of isolation and : of non-intervention, excopt so far as relates to tlie integrity of the Ameri- i can continent, a polioy builded iu the i corner-stone of the republic, has made , us the happiest, the most ideal of na- | tions. Washington and the fathers t'orsaw lhe temptations to which we i would bo subjected and they conjured jus to beware, of thein. In such a timo 'as this, when the war fever quickens our pulses, let us take care no delirious dream of imperialism leads us to lour own destruction.���Philadelphia ; Ledger. * BUY IT. * The Miner is on sale at the fol- lowing news stores ftt five cents per copy: Gllborl Stanley Thomson Stationery Co Canada Drug & Hook Co.

With regard to the Crow's Nest Past Puss railway contract he stated that the conservative government hud arranged for its construction on terms which would not have cost lhe Dominion more than $1,000,00(1, but on assuming the reins of government the liberals had repudiated the contract and the new arrangements will cost the country over $���!,- 1100,000 in a straighl subsidy to the C.

The contract entered into by Mr. Sifton for the construction of the Teslin lake railway was au outrageous one, and had the senate not thrown out the bill, the choicest gold lands in the Yukon would have been granted to Messrs. MacKenzie and Mann for building a tramway which began nowhere and ended 150 miles beyond.

Title | The Miner |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : The Miner Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1898-08-15 |
Description | The Miner was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. The Miner was established by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. After leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, Houston established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. The Miner was published by The Miner Printing and Publishing Company, and the paper's longest-serving editor was D. J. Beaton. The Miner was published under two variant titles, the Nelson Weekly Miner and the Weekly Miner. In 1902, the paper was sold to F. J. Deane, who changed the title to the Weekly News. |
