COUNT WALDERS EE.
The Famous German General Not in
Favor of War.


Favor of War.

BERLIN, Oct. 31.-GNew York Herald
Cable-Special TO THE BEE. I'm an in
tervew with the Herald correspondent
Count Waldersee, chief of staff of the Ger
man army, said:
"That desire war is nonsense. have only
the wish that we may be so strongly organ
ICED that our enemies may lose all desire to

the wish not alone in the interest of the
Fatherland, but in that of the whole world,
only to look upon it as last resort. There
FORE if think it can be avoided,

all in my power to prevent it.
Should providence, however, send us war,
should have the greatest confidence in being
able to carry out the task confided to me.
l know the self-sacrifcng spirit of the Ger

follow their capable and energetic young
kaiser. l know our army, too, and am sure
that 1t is superior in efficiency to any other.
Other nations may initiate our tactical forms
and our weapons, but not our moral quail
ties. That Is the principal element of
strength in the German army. Our alliances
strong guarantee of peace, but am also sure
that the power of Germany, held in one
strong hand and directed by one firm will. is
strong enough to confront toes alone with a

ONLY A LOVERS QUARREL.
How the Murat-Caldweil Estrange
ment is Regarded IN Paris.


lCopm-tght 1889 bu James Gordon Bsnnstt.1
PARIS, Oct. 31.-i New York Herald Cable
Special to The BEE. With reference to
the breaking off of the marriage of Miss
Caldwell to Prince Joachim Mural, the gen.
eral opinion is that the difficulty is but a
lovers quarrel and that the marriage has
only been postponed for few weeks. One
trouble arises from the fact that there has
been a general misunderstanding about the
contract. The prince desired that 1t should
be made after the French form and Miss
Caldwell insisted that it should be drawn Gp
on the American plan, as that would give
her more privileges.
The Herald correspondent called at the
Caldwell residence to-day and was told that
the lady wis i'll, but he was courteously re-
cewed by Mrs. Donneliy, guardian of Miss
Caldwell, and her sister. Mrs. Donnelly did
not enter into any details of the affair but
quietly stated that the marriage has been
postponed owing TO some difficulties about
the contract"
The correspondent next saw Mr.. Cochard.
lawyer for Miss Caldwell, who declped to
be interviewed, but said he saw no reason
why the marriage should not
take place, and thought that there
would be reconciliation before long.
Miss Caldwelrs income is estimated at
900, 600 year, but by the will of her father,
William H. Caldwell, of Fredericksburg,
Va, the property was left in trust, so that
his heirs are limited as TO the use of their in
come. The conditions of the will would pro-
hibit marriage contract after the French
form. 1t was the intention of the parties to
sail for America on the Saturday after the
marriage, but the Caldwell family now in
tend 10 remain in Paris a while longer.
