Germany and France the Two
Antagonists.

Emperor William Determined to Effect
an Entire Change in the Attitude To-
wards France on Account of the Treat
ment His Mother Received in Paris.
Other Dispatches From Abroad.
LONDON, March "A Berlin dispatch
says that the kaiser has determined to
effect an entire change in the attitude of
Germany toward France. While there
is no ground for hostility, the relations
maintained will be those of reserve and
rigid formality. The proposed relaxa-
tion of passport regulations in Alsace-
Lorraine has already been withdrawn,
and the French visitor to the reichsland
will find himself under the same odious
espionage that has been so irritating in
the past. The commanders of the
frontier fortresses have been ordered TO
increase their vigilance, and all suspi-
cious strangers are to be arrested, espe-
cially those who may be found with
Photographic apparatus in the vicinity
of fortified places.
The emperor is said to largely blame
Count Won Munster for the failure of the
empress's visit This failure he feels
most keenly, as he had gone far person
ally to make the mission a success and
the result is the first rebuff he has met
since ascending the throne. The emperor
intends for this reason, it is reported, to
recall Won Munster and put some one in
his place who will be more successful in
carrying out the imperial wishes. Nun
ster, it is understood, was Bismarck's So
lection for the post and the kaiser has
never treated him with entire conf
dence, 1t is thought that either Prince
Reuss, now ambassador at Vienna, or the
Count Waldersee will get the appoint
ment at Paris. Waldersee will be lost
to the imperial service unless he receives
some appointment that will give the
countess a chance to figure in society, as
the countess has already intimated that
her husband will soon retire from the
army.
A good deal of stir has been created in
English Liberal circles by statement,
in a dispatch from Berlin, that the secre-
tary of the committee on naval estimates
had spoken of England as likely to take
part with her fleet on the side of the
triple alliance, in the event of a war with
France. There has been suspicion for q
long time that Lord Salisbury had a
secret understanding with Germany as
to Englands course in European war,
but the general feeling of the Liberals
is strongly against any interference in
continental strife, unless English inter
ests are attacked. The government
may be questioned on the subject dur
ing the coming week.
