MILITARY PASTIME
Of Emperor William, Of Ger
many.
ALL THE CAPITALS OF EUROPE
Bismarck Sides With Salisbury In Eng-
lands Dispute With Portugal.

BERLIN, Dec. 21.-- Copyright, New York
Associated Press The Emperor of Ger
many has been so i'll as to be compelled to
keep his bed since Thursday. He arose
for the first time to-day and received his
physician, who reports that his malady was
catarrh, with fever and a provoked recur-
renee of his old trouble with his ear. The
trouble originated in cold caught while
the Emperor watched the effect of night
alarming garrison at Potsdam, one Of his
military amusements being to test the "a
pidity with which the various regi-
ments can be turned at un
expected moments. But that is not
his maiesty's only military amusement.
AT the field maneuvers at Bornstedt regi-
ment of cavalry was suddenly ordered to
advance at full gallop. It rode helter-
SHELTER down the badly lighted streets of
Potsdam. Some horses were killed and
several towns people were ridden down and
badly hurt.
For many days the foreign office has been
looking upon the development in Brazil and
the threatened eOutre-cOupe in Portugal.
Long daily dispatches from Lisbon and
Madrid have confirmed the intelligence
recently given in the letter that Portugal
is likely to follow the example set by Bra
I'll. The government here shares the IN
easiness felt in every capital in Europe. II
Portugal takes fire, the movement Of the
Portuguese Republicans will, it is believed,
be the signal for rising in Spain, and this
will be followed by agitation in Italy and
by general upheaval of the social forces
throughout Europe.
In regard to the dispute between Eng
land and Portugal over the African pos
sessions, Bismarck has, according to re-

Salisbury expressing the hope that nothing
will be done to humiliate the Portuguese
ministry in view of the imperial catastrophe
in Brazil, and the position of the monarchy
in Portugal face to face with similar
forces to those that cast down Dom Pedro.
An articlejin the National Zeitun0 indicates
that Bismarck favors the English claims
in this difference between the powers
This is due chiefly to the intimate relation
of the courts and the general con-
currence in their foreign policy.
Advices received at Hamburg from the
province of Rio Grande do Sue, in Brazil,
are entirely contrary to the opinion that the
German colonists desire the protection Of
the fatherland. They appear hopeful that
federated republic will increase the gen
eral prosperity. The official world here is
disappointed.
The miners strike still remains unset
tied. The directors sent out placards to-
day proclaiming all men who have not re-
turned to their work by Monday viii be
treated as having rejected the terms offered
them. Anarchists from Belgium have been
melting the men to refuse the terms. Many
police agents from here have been sent
through all the districts where the
trouble is, to watch the operations of this
Anarchist propaganda.
Count Won Moltke, who was i'll with lnfiu-
enza, has had a relapse and is down with
bronchitis Won Zastrow, under secretary
of state for the interior, died suddenly to-
