Gernatxns'a Attitude Bothers the Adiniral and State Department. Washington, June 30. - The report that Germany intends to land marines at Manila on the plea of protecting the property of Germán subjects was much discussed by congressmen thia morning. Representative Landis thought that if Germany attempted to j land a forcé other powers would ' ab!y follow suit and the result would be foreign complications. "It seems," j he said, "Germany is looking for ble." Officials of the state department j are not inclined to discuss the report. A member of the house committee on foreign affairs said he did not thinlc we would have disagreement with the powers over the Philippines until aft?r the war is over. "Wbei peace is ileelared," said the memoer, "we may have some diplomatic correspondense over the Phllippiñe question, the outcome of which no one can teil." Washington, June 30.- There is a feeling of great anxiety at the state j department over the situation in the Philippines. Nothing has been published,- but there are .outcroppings of foreboding news from Dewey. The insurgent leader, Aguinaldo, is suspected of coquetting with foreign governments to establish a republican government on the island with himself at the head and liberal concessions to the governments under whose encouragement he is acting. For the first time the United States has reason to suspect the Germán officers at Manila of covertly intriguing with Aguinaldo agalnst the interests of the United States. The gravity of such an offense by a pretended friendly power, viewed from the standpoint of diplomacy, cannot be overstated. Heretofore the state department has relied upon the repeated public assurance of Germany of noninterference. The secretary of state, acting under the advice of the president, has even declined to put in the. attitude of questioning Germany's sincerity by asking an explanation of certain suspicious movements. In spite ,however, of the repeated public disavowals by Germany, evidences of intermeddling by the Germán authorities in Manila have continued to pour in and now Admiral Dewey, it is believed, has made a representation to the president on the subject. All doubts as to Germany's attitude will soon be cleared away. When troops arrive at Manila Admiral Dewey will take possession. It is evident from the tone of firmness displayed in official tíreles that the United States government will not question the sincerity of any foreign government, nor will it suffer any interference by those governments with the interests it has acquired legitimately by the fortunes of war.

It is alleged that Hod Morton has taken the dirt from Linden st. to fill in his portion of the "cat hole" and the city engineer was inslructed to form an estímate of the amount removed. The board was very wrathy over the matter and hir.ted that if the value was not recovered upon demand that a prosecution would follow. The board recommended that the council appropriate $150 for a road grader. It seems that Sharp & Schultz, the sewer ccntractors, are a little shy to the extent of $2,000 or $3,000 on gome of their creditors. These creditors have filed claims on the balance of $600 which is due from the city. The subject waa referred to the city attorney to wrestle with. Then the matter of moving buildings through the streets cams up.
