Berlin, jan 5.-Count Herbert Bismarck last night
gave diplomatic dinner. at which Count Scho'valoii,
the Russian Ambassador, NJ Herbete. the French Am
bassador and other heads OF legations were present.
During the course OF the evening Count Herbert,
speaking TO Count Won Hatzfedt tho German Minister
to England, promised under request of the Emperor,
to exonerate Sir Robert Moner, the British Am
bassador Russia, from any charge connected with
the Bazano Incident This result was communicated
to Morier who expresses himself as dissatisfied.
He says that official prints make the charge there
must be an official withdrawal Lord Salisbury In a
personal communication to Prince Bismarck, asks him
to order direct statement that the whole charge -
absurd.
GERMAN COMMENTS ON THE AFFAIR.
The papers to-day generally comment on the Morfer
affair. The "vosslsche Zeltung' remarks The inn
preston that pesal Of the letters leaves Is painful
Incidents such as these only servo to trouble
the relations Of two countries connected by kindred
and affinity The accusation against Moricr rests on
tho controversial assertion OF man who is no more.
NO evidence can be adduced in support Of the charge
Therefore IT cannot be regarded as convincing II
certain papers which described Emperor Frederick
as 'Pasifa the Simple ton, really consider 1t their
duty to asperse every whom that noble prince
honored with his confidence, they have at any rate
to the Emperor" Proceeding TO narratc the military
events between August 10 and IL 1870, the Vosssche
Zetung' says 1t IS only surprising that the plain con-
radiction between Marshal Bazainc's statement to
Major Won Defines and the known historic facts
should not have been perceived By Major Won Defines
himself, who seems to have been willing TO forge
weapon with which 10 strike at the memory OF
Emperor Frederick. The "F1elslnnIge Zeitung' says
"The German people await what Count Herbert has
to say officially or the matter As things stand
German diplomacy has not covered Itself with glory
over the question.
The "Nstional zeitunC" holds out that Morer in
his appeal TO Count Herbert was overconfdent The
paper says at was really astonishing demand to
ask the Chief of the Foreign ONCE to contradict the c-
port OF trusted officer Of the German Government.
1t must be left to the future to show whether Bszainc
VIII come out of the affair as slanderer or rs a
coward
