Far is, May 17.—The British pro-|
test against the overthrow of the

I4bau and' the demjauid' that the 6iU■
u^tionat Libau be reestablished have
provoked a haughty; reply from the
German government, according to
advices from Berlin. Thq Ger
mans are gat<J to claim that the re
volt in Libau wag the work of Lets.
The Zeawolff Uhrblatt o£ B?rlin,
however, declares the affair resulted
from pan German intrigue and it
was the work of Germaaii barons in
th* Baltic provinces and their
agents. The paper says that the
money for the miuutaimcyice of the
German troopg at Libau and; several
other points in the East was sup
plied by the barons. It concludes:
" It ia surprising to see ^t a time
when Germany manifestg her desire
'or peace ami wishes to ptrove that
she has given up her former policy
of lnrtigue that the that led
to her ruin is kept up."
