unguished. The steamer suffered but
little injury, but the cargo was greatly

Caprivi in High Favor.

LONDON, March 2S.-A quasi-official
denial is given to all rumors of the re-
tirement of General Caprivi from the
chancellorship OF the empire. The
kaiser has already arranged for Capr!vI
10 accompany him in the autumn
maneuvers. Speculation is rife in
Berlin as to the message borne by Count
Waldersee to Bismarck and presumably
answered on the occasion of Blsmark' S
return visit to Waldersee. The impress
ion prevails that the message was an
expression of goodwill by Waidersee in
behalf of the kaiser. and a depreciation
of Bismarck's criticisms on the govern
ment. 1t is noticed that Bismark and
his newspaper organs have softcned
tn cir tone since Waidersee's visit.
