A GERMAN MOVE CHECKED.
A HAUGHTY DEMAND DISAVOWED. THE KiASER DUMBED DOWN. London, Feb. 28. Lord Denbigh, speaking at the Colonial Institute, revealed the fact that the Germans, early in 1916 (?) were seeking concessions in Madeira. Their Ambassador told the Portuguese government that unless the "concessions were granted Kaiser would send his navy up the Tagus to Lisbon. The Portuguese Government cabled to England, and |tho Admiralty prepared to mobilise the fleet, but changed their plan to an order for the Atlantic fleet to steam to Portugal. Meanwhile the Kaiser was informed, through an undiplomatic source, what had happened, and next day the German Ambassador notified Portugal that he had exceeded his instructions. given above is manifestly wrong. The incident must have occurred before the outbreak of war. ]
