TIE ARREST OF COUNT Won ARN1M.
NEW YoRE, October 1S.--A HeraIds
Washington special gives version Of the
arrest Of Count Won Arnim, obtained, as
the Herald says editoriAlly, from the high.
est available sources in America upon
German stfAirs. The following are the
points: The Count was sent 10 Paris as
IN Ambassador, explicitly charged to
maiutain the most peaceful and agreeable
course in all his dealings with the French
OGi;ers. Bismarck himself prepared in-
structioDs which were TO guide Count
Won Arnim in his own position, and no
sooner had the Ambassador presented bis
credentials and had been formally re-
Ceived by Theirs, than be began to make
himself offensive to everybody connected
with the French government II seemed
be had accepted the trust fully determined
to again involve Germany and France in
hoslllities or compel his government 10
increase its army OF occupation in France.
His first step was most extraordinary and
unprecedented. Addressing Emperor
William privately, Criticising the policy

ment and excusing his familiarity on the
ground that he could not confidently
communicate through the foreign office,
This was the beginning OF the CORES
pOndence between Bismarck as ChanCel.
lOr and Won Arnim as Ambassador,
comprising eighty'two communications,
which Won Arn;m withdrew from the
archives ol the Embassy at Paris, and
which the German Government, through
the criminal court ut Berlin, now
seeks 10 recover. The first, lntims-
lion the Berlin Foreign Office. had Of
Won ArHin's intrigue was through the
leading Catholic papers Of Germany,
praising Won .Arnim as the at successor
Ot Bismarck, and denounCipg the latter as
wholly unworthy Of the high position he
held. The letter OF Won Arnim 10 the
Emperor was promptly sent to the Chan.
CellUr, resulting in short and imperative
note TO the Count, that oil correspondence
On matters pertaining 10 the policy and
interest OF the Empire must be held only
with tho Foreign Office. To this Won
Arnim replied, roL abAting his pronounced
hostilily TO Bismarck, and renewing his
criticism OF the instructions which had
been prepared by Bismarck. 1t then be.
came serious question at Berlin,
what to do with tho Count. To re-
call him at that carly stoge oI the
new relations OF Germany and France
would have led other European nations
10 belive that there were some foundation
for the report OF the new complications
1t was therefore determined to iorbear
the puplic recognition Of Won Arnims
course unul such time as it cold be done
without scandal or diplomatic relations
Of Germany with France. Won Arnim
succeeded in gaining the cooperation Of
prOmiuentC at6olic members of the Ger
mon Parliament in his opposition to Bis
mGrck, and his next step was 10 engage
the French prcss in quarrel. Thus 1t
was thatit became necessary 10 vigorously
use the organ OF the German government
in combating the work Of Won Arnim,
and as often as there appeared in any
OF the German or French Journals
evidences OF oppoaltion 10 the policy Of
Germany, articles inspired by Bis
marck were published, denying the as
sertions on which the attacks were made.
The offensive conduct oil the Count ex.
tended into the admiration OF McAIahop,
and when VSn Arnim was directed by
Bismarck 10 assure the New President Of
the satGntS e0rdiaS on the part Of
Germany toward France, he replied
that he was not on good terms with
MaCMahon, and could not communicate
with him. Bismarck iorcibly replied
