Britain and Germany.
Admiral Libran, who was the bearer of the conciliatory letter despatched by Emperor William to England after his famous telegram to Mr Kruger in 1896 with reference to the Jameson raid, on Monday handed an autograph letter to King Edward from the Emperor. There is no disposition in England to identify the German Emperor with Count von Bulow’s utterances.
The “Cologne Gazette" says England is too impatient in reference to foreigners, considering the language used by Sir Henry CampbellBannerman.
The “Cologne Gazette” states that the irritation occasioned in England at German Anglophobia, and especially at the recent utterances in the Reichstag, isbso great that the respective Ambassadors may at any moment take leave of absence. It adds that possibly the Prince of Wales may not visit Germany. “ The Times ” regards this view o! the situation as too serious, though possibly Britain may take steps to impress upon Germany the painful impression created by Count von TBulow's utterances and to remove misconception with references to his assurances.
The “ North German Gazette ” states that Emperor William did not invite the Prince of Wales to visit Germany. . Several shocking examples of Anglophobe literature and caricatures are published by “ The Times.” One of the latter,'emanating from' a German source, represents Queen Alexandra, surrounded by her daughters, decorating the youngest lad in the British Army for repeatedly outraging Boar girls. Reuter’s correspondent at Berlin states that the Prince of Wales will be the Kaiser’s private guest. The visit will be of a purely family nature. The Prince will not accept official \ Sir Frank Laacelles, British Ambassador at Berlin, at New Year asked if a visit from the Prince on the Kaiser’s birthday would be agreeable. The Emperor replied :-r- ---“ Agreeable is not the word. . I will be delighted.” It is semi-officially announced from Berlin that well-informed circles are unaware of any political mission being entrusted to Admiral Libran, who is really visiting England to attend a meeting of yachtsmen.
