SPANISH PREMIER
AND GKRMANOPHILES
MADRID, Spain.—It is clear that
by the Germanophile attack on the
Count de Romanones, evidently insti
gated by Berlin, it is sought to over
throw the liberal ministry, but it is
daily more apparent that the complete
failure of the scheme is certain, for in
stead of being weakened, the govern
ment exhibits a marked access of
strength, and is continually receiving
expressions of support of all parties
and sections. Twenty-four members
of the chamber of deputies have ad
dressed to the premier a letter in
which they express their concurrence
with this policy and their condemna
tion of the campaign which is being
conducted against him by the German
ophile journals in Spain. Some mem
bers of the senate had indicated tin
wish to associate themselves with tin
deputies in the address, o that i'
might have a collective v due and he
representative in some degree of tin
whole Cortes, hut the Count de Ro
manones begged that they would re
frain from doing -o, declaring that

campaign with which he was pursued 1
at present could be dealt with in other 1
ways. 3
The premier’s attitude in thi.- mat- 3
ter is regarded as highly dignified *
and particularly appropriate to the _
occasion. To give full effect to their
unanimous support of the foreign pol
icy of their chief, the liberal members
of the Cortes are organizing a grand
banquet in honor of the count, which
is to take place before' the reopening
of the Cortes. The premier stated ,
definitely that the reopening of the
Cortes would take place soon, and this , g
is taken as sufficient indication, if anv H
1
were needed, that there are no difficul- u
ties in the cabinet. The premier has 5
just had interviews with Sr. Date, the .
former premier, and Sa. Bugellal, and
it is believed that there is the most
perfect understanding with the conser- j
vatives. It is right to say, however,
in spite of all this, that there is a
growing feeling in Spain that the mil
itary policy of the central powers, in [
whose chances of victory very few
Spaniards now believe, is shaping it
self in such a way that in the near
future it will become the most serious
danger to all countries that still re
main neutral.
