Sr. JOHN N. B. Dec. 5.--(Special)

All Against England.

Loiinoiv, Dec. 2.-The Contempor-

ary Review for December contains a sensational anonymous article entitled. “The Arch Enemy of England.” This is the German Emperor. The writer

alleges that the Kaiser seized the Kiao- Chou by an agreement with Russia to prevent England getting it, and the Czar holds his personal promise to va-9 cate it when called upon. |Russia pro- viding Germany with co. ling stations elsewhere. The writer declares the Kaiser had drawn up a complete plan arranging for the naval superiority of France, Russia and Germany over Eug- land four years hence, when England is to 'be compelled to make humiliating termsthroughout the world, leaving Germany the chief commercial colonial power. All these plans have suddenly been thrown into confusion by the American-Spanish war and America and England drawing together.

The article, which is sure to attract

attention for its extraordinary attack on the Qusen’s grandson, continues :“The American people, with characteristic shrewdness, have detected this with re- sentment and hostility, and are in no mood to put up with browbeating from anyone. Considering that the Americans took no inconsiderable part in opening China and Japan to external influences, the only ground for surprise is that they have been so slow in manifesting in- lei est in the situation in the Far East, but now that the impulse has been sup- plied and an assertion of the claim to have a voice in it has been made, there will be no drawing back or hesitation in pushing niaters to a conclusionl lt _ is precisely in the Far East that the action -the mere presence--of the United States is so disconcerting and disagreeable to the German Emperor. ,_ It disarranges all his plans, deprives himself and allies of that ascendency in the -China seas which they have twice

which they saw a long train of future advantages. Under such circumstances the continued proximity of American and German squadrons at Manila, ag- gravated by the demeanour of the Ger- man ohicers, is full of peril. The peril may pass off, but will only do so by the withdrawal of Germa_ny’s pretensions.

“At this moment the question turns

on Whether the German Emperor can induce Russia and France to join him in a demonstration of superior naval force to that- possessed by the United States both in the Pacific and the Atlantic, and' the answer to that largely depends on whether he and the Czar of Russia be- tween them can exercise sullicient pres- sure in England to induce our Govern. ment, in return for some empty conces- sions in Africa, some easily broken promises as to China, to hold its hand, to hesitate for the necessary moment while they enforce their will on the United States. ~

“This is to be the real peril to the

creation of areal Anglo-Saxon alliance. Frem the very beginning of the crisis in the Far East the English policy has done nothing but hesitate and give way, has allowed and assisted the creation of diliicnlties that never would have nrt.-,eii if it had only stood firm at the beginning of the question. There now appears on the scene in a totally unex- pected manner one ally, who could and
