made the charge in conversation, as al.
legged by the Gdscttc to the effect that
the first news of the Germans crossing
the Moselle was conveyed TO him by

nial, which was sent to Herbert Bis-
marck with an appeal that he as n man
of honor would cause on immediate
refutatiou Of the charge to be inserted In
the Gazette Count Herbert in his reply
regretted that neither the contents nor
tone of the communication enabled him
to comply with such astonishing demands
