or Prevent It-All Must Be in Readi-
ness for the Emergency-Germany's
Emperor Still Improving His Army.
ROME, Dec. 22.-Premier Crispi, contin-
uing the debate in the chamber of deputies
on the credit for the defenses, declared that
the bill had no special connection with the
International situation nor with the triple
alliance. Further" he said, 'were we
isolated, we should still be obliged TO incur
additional expenditures in order to
make ourselves stronger, for we
have already seen the effects
of isolation in the case Of Tunis and SO in
the treaty Of Berlin. Those who say we
ought to be restraining factor among the
other powers should remember that this
ia TX can only be undertaken by the strong
est coun ries, since the weaker has always
been less respected than the stronger.
WAR CAUSES NUMEROUS.
81 am unable to say whether or not war
is probable. No one is able to predict or
prevent it, but causes which might produce
an out reak are numerous. My policy has
been described as venturesome, and by
some as a policy of provocation. 1t is
neither. | desire simply that Italy may be
considered what she is, an equal among
equal powers. Accusation has been oughJ

BERLIN, Dec 22.-Emperor William ha
fairly recruited his health and has resumed
his journeyings To-day he went to Stettin
TO inspect the Frede lex William grenadiet
regiment. The people of Stettin gave him
a hearty reception. He went direct from
the railway station to the Koeuigs pla z,
where he presented to the grena-
mad a speech to the men. He
next visited the Vulcan ship building work
at Bredow. This evening he dined with the
office of the garrison at their club. HIS
weeks work has displayed the same expe di-
ture of nervous energy as that which he did
before his Illness, and it has been in the
same Observation-Disclosures.
COMING MANEUvERs.
The emperor has been arranging for some
grand military maneuvers III SilIe-s in 1889.
He has held conference On the commission
of the Cwehaven and North Sea canal. He
spent several hours on Thursday at the ar
tillery range outside of Berlin, where be
reviewed two battalions of the guards in
goiIg through series of maneuyers under
the new drill regulations.
TWO SIGNIFICANT INTERVIEWS.
The perplexed interest has been increased
by the Emperor's order summoning at the
same time Baron Passin, the military
attache at st. Petersburg, and Baron Won
Hue, the military attache at Paris. Both
arrived on Thursday. and had an interview
with the emperor without delay. Berliuers
would like to see some of this energy used
in the encouragement Of trade. There is
general complaint of dullness, Christina
buying is limited, and tho festal spirit is
under gloom.
