THE OTT AFFAIR.—The Gazette d'Augsbourg
states that the preliminary investigation of this affair is
now concluded, and it now only remains for the military
authorities, in whose hands the matter rests, to decide
whether Count Eulenburg is or is not to be tried. It is
generally stated that it has been impossible to establish
with certainty that Count Eulenburg gave poor Ott his
mortal blow.
