BERLIN, December 21.-The Emperor
has been 30 ill as to be compelled to
keep his bed since Thursday. He arose
for the frat time today and received Off
cial reports. His malady was catarrh,
with fever, and the provoked recurrence
of his old trouble with his ear. The
trouble originated in cold caught while
watching the efficacy of the night alarm
in the garrison at Pots dam, one of his mil.
itary amusements being to test the rapid
ity with which the various regiments can
be turned out at unexpected moments !;
but that Is not His Msjssty's only mill
tsry amusement. At the field maneu-
vers at Bornstedt, regiment of cavalry
was suddenly ordered to advance at full
gallop. II rode helter-skelter down a
badly lighted street of Potedam. Some
horses were killed and several towns
people were ridden down and badly hurt.
THE CROWNED HEADS TREMBLE.
For many days now the attention Of
the Foreign Office has been centered
upon developments in Brazil and the
threatened coup in Portugal. Long daily
dispatches from Lisbon and Madrid have
confirmed the intelligence recently given
in this letter that Portugal is likely to
follow the example set by Brazil. The
felt in every chancellory in Europe. If
portyvnol ko1v of \
Portuguese republicans will, it is be-
lieved, be the signal for rising in
Spain, and this will be followed by agita-
ton in Italy and by general upheaval
of the social forces throughout Europe.
ENGLAND IMPLoRED TO 60 SLOW.
In regard to the dispute between
England and Portugal over their African
possessions, Bismarck, according to a
report afoat in ministerial circles, has
written to 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 Portugal, face
to face with similar forces to
to those that cast down Dom
Pedro. An article in the National
Zsitung Indicates that Bismarck favors
the English claims in this difference be-
tween the powers. This is due chiefly
to the intimate relations of the courts
and the general concurrence in their for
eign policies.
.Advices received at Hamburg from the
province OF Rio Grande do Sui, in Brazil,
are entirely contrary to the opinion that
the German colonists desire the protec.
ton of the Fatherland. They appear
hopeful that the federated republic will
increase the general prosperity. The
official world here is disappointed.
THE STRIKES REMAIN UNSETTLED.
The miners strike still remains un-
settled. The directors cent out placards
today proclaiming that all the men who
have not returned to their work by Mon
day will 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 to the
districts where the trouble is, to watch
the operations of this Anarchist prepa-
ganda.
COUNT Won MOLTKE AILING.
Count Won Moltke, who was ill with
influenza, has had a relapse, and is
down with bronchitis.
Won Zastrow, Under Secretary of State
for the Interior, died suddenly today.
