policy, assuming SCR. Crispi's engage
ments, including strengthened arma-
ments, have removed much diSquiet
here. Emperor William had commu-
nication from King Humbert at the
earliest period of the cabinet crisis init
mating his determination to agree to no
ministry that would imperil the Drel-
bund; but tie kaiser desired further
assurances. Chancellor on Capriyi,
during his recent visit to Milan, ar
ranged for the completion of the
Italian armament with the newest
weapons, smokeless powder. etc, in
volving an outlay of the money derived
from the new Italian loan, to which Sgr
Crispi assented. On Chancellor Won
Capriyi'S return here diplomatic docu-
ments forming the appendix of treaty
of alliance were rot from SCR. Crispi.
formally pledging Italy to army reforms,
in which the German government was
to assist III the manufacture of weapons,
the production of munitions and the fur
nishing of skilled instruction. The
question troubling the emperor and his
cOntidants, Chancellor Won Caprivi and
DR.. Miguel PruSsian minister of finance,
was how far Sgr. Crispis successor
would accept the engagements made.
At one period of the crisis King Hum
bert appeared to find extreme difficulty
in getting the

with whom be consulted to associate
themselves with any ministers who were
pledged to support expenditures for the
army which were likely to neceSSitate a
loan. Dr.. Miguel assisted in solution
of the crisis by getting group of Ger
man financial houses to promise TO ia
ciIitate new Italian loan when it should
be found necessary for the government
TO obtain funds. Dr. Miguel must have
held out some inducement to these
bankers, which it is certain will be dill
gently kept secret. Emperor William
dined Wednesday night at DR.. Miguel's
residence. On Thursday Marquis di
Rudini agreed to the CriSpl con-
tracts in a block, whereupOn King
Humbert confided to HIM the work
of forming a new ministry. Until the
Italian cabinet shall have been COM
pleted and its character seen the posi-
ton will remain rather Insecure. King
Humbert's action during the anxious
time is understood to have elected an
expression of personal esteem from En-
peror Francis Joseph, and il is now re-
ported here that the Austrian emperor
actually went to the length of promis-
ing to visit the qurinal in the course of
the year. The rumOrS printed in the
French papers that Emperor William
had consulted Dr.. Miguel in regard to
vast increase of

in consequence of the detection of Italy,
are sheer fiction. DR.. Miguel will as
Sist SCR. CriSpiS successor to secure
funds for the completion OF the frontier
defenses of Italy. The defenses of
Germany do not proceed under the cas-
ual stimulus of foreign developments.
The emperor has not settled the sue
censorship to Gen. Won WalderSee. Yes
terday Gen. Won Witch was announced
as the new chief of staff. To-day Gen.
Won Schlieffen had long conference
with the kaiser, fact that gave rise to
the report that he would succeed
Gen. Won Waldersee. Gen. Won
WaIdersee has already gone to
Altoona to assume command of the
Ninth army corps. The Hamburg Mach
Tichten greeted his advent with a free
criticism. in which it described him as
idea Of true military grandeur. Bis
marck's organ probably cXaggerates the
princes animuS against fallen foe.
Gen. Won WalderSee has privately eX-
pressed a wish to withdraw absolutely
from public life, and he only accepted
the command of the Ninth corps in sub
mission to the kaiSer's order. He trusts
that he will soon be allowed definitely
to retire. The hesitancy of the kaiser
over the selection of chief of staff is
due to the difficulty of getting man of
proved ability, yet sufficiently cOmpii-
ant with
The Emperor:s Views.
Gen. Won Waldersee aimed to succeed
Gen. Won Moltke in the virtual control
of all the German armies in the field.
The kaiser means to succeed Gen. Won
MoItke himself. and in the event of
war will assume individual responsible
ity for the movements of the forces.
His majesty must have a chief of the
general staff of strictly subordinate
spirit Beyond military circles the
anxiety as to who Will be selected by
the emperor is widespread. Further
changes are imminent. Among them
are the retirement from Office of Dr.
Won GosSIer. PruSsian minister of
public worship and education, who
will probably be succeeded by DR..
Lucanus, chief of the civil cab
met. and of Prince Won Hohenlohe.
staathaller of the reichland, who will
be succeeded by Prince Henry of ReusS,
now German minister at Vienna. The
wife of Prince Henry of Reuss
is a daughter of the Grand Duke of
SAKE Weimar-Eisenach, the emperor'S
grand uncle, and the prince is, there

at Strasburg. Herr Maybach, Prussian
minister of public works, will retire
from Office after the unterhaus disposes
of the railway estimates. The debates
on colonial matters in the reichstag dis
closed the fact that there had been a
rapid abatement in the fervur of the
members who favored German colonial
extension. No prominent man OF any
party avoWed adherence to projects for
further
Territorial Acquisition.
Much doubt is expressed as to the
value of the territory recently annexed
10y Germany. The denial by Chancellor
Won Capriyi that the government wish
ed to sell the colonies evoked the re-
mark from the Socialist Nollmar that it
would be well to give them to Prince
Bismarck as national gift. No men,
Der expressed enthusiasm over ellner
their retention or their prospects. The
colonial department has intmated to the
Hamburg syndicate with reference to
the purchase of the possessions OF the
Southwest Africa company, that the
government. while not opposing the
transfer, will not grant a royal
charter for the new company, the
proposed capital of which is
1900, 900 marks, with additional bonus
shares amounting to 100000 marks. 1t
is certain that legal status will be ae-
corded to the company by the bundles
