Won Waldersee. Archduke Stephen and
Admiral Sterneck of the Austrian navy, to-
day watched on board the flagship Baden
the maneuvers of the feet in Flensburger-
Fiord. Sealed orders given to Admiral
Demhardt, outlined the plan of an enemy's
fleet. The approach OF the attacking
squadron was to be through the great belt,
and the German admiral had to attack the
enemy and keep him from enter
ing the ford. The Au strian fleet
witnessed the maneuvers. The opinion of
experts, both British and Austrian, concur
as to the admirable condition Of the Ger
man tieet, and the wonderful developments
of the navy, which, although the creation
of recent period, is as perfectly organized
as any in the world. Public interest in the
maneuvers is slight, but the emperor has
kept attention centered upon his movements
by suggestive utterances at official banquets,
obviously aiming to proclaim his steadfast
adhesion to the Austrian alliance.

given at Grayenstein yesterday to the
Schleswig authorities to refer to the pres
ence of the Austrian fleet as proof of the
intimate friendship and brotherhood exist
ing between the arms of Germany and
Austria. At the Flensburg dinner his
words were: "We stand here upon historic
soil whereon our arms united with Austria's
have gloriously gained blood-stained
laurels."

the official version of the speeches, which is
calculated to soothe Austrian jealousy arls-
ing over the Peterhof interviews and to
prepare the way for the conference with
Emperor Francis Joseph during the ma
nsuvers in Sill esia. Emperor William will
leave kiel Wednesday. He will be with
his family only two hours aud, after at
tending the Iuaneuvers at Breslau, will
meet Emperor Francis Joseph o Sunday.
