Especial to The HERALD-Examlner Cable
BERLIN, Nov. 30-For some time the name of
Duke Gunther, of Schleswig Holstein, brother
OF the Empress, has been omitted from the
court circular and his movements are not COM
nented upon as formerly by the official press.
THE DUKE is ONCE MORE IN DISGRACE
with his big brother-in-law, all on account of
otero. When that celebrated Spanish dancer,
well known in New York, played her first en-
gagement at the Winter Garten, the duke was
about the only person In high life who was
struck by her beauty. Night after night his
hlSnness disguised, appeared at the music gar
den to witness her performance. His features
Delng unknown to the general public, he was
permitted to carry on his Irritation for while
IN the place, and growing belder, he fancied
mat he might indulge his passion like any other
mortal without regard to his relationship TO the
monarch who keeps .such paternaI watch over
tne morals OF his son. So the duke placed his
splehdfd horses at OJero's disposal, and on one
occasion the Spanish beauty drove the dukes
lourln-hend team before her own carriage
Whlch mad been sent on from Paris to the races
at when the fair owner created q sensation by
her DARING WORKMANSHIP
as well as by her undisguised encouragement of
the ouke attentions. To friend who visited
Otero the evening OF the races, she knowingly
showed the visiting card bearing under the coro-
Wlg-Holsteln. ~ sup with him after the show"
she said He is such fine fellow. He gives
me carte blanche at his stable and at his kit
chem
The duke when questioned at tho Union club,
IauEh1ngly admitted lis association with the
dancer. 1t was only when this became known
by men about town that Otero became popular;
before that she had been looked upon more as
curiosity than as soul-inspiring artist, and
even her beauty had been disputed by the Ber-
!lners who Judge women after the fashion of
Dutchers-by the amount ofheSh on their bones
All this happened when the dancers engage
ment was nearly at an end and she went to full
hill another at St Petersburg, where the duke
also found 1t necessary to go on pressing bust
ness; He went, 1t is said, without going through
the formality Of asking leave of absence from
his superior officer on the general staff.
THE DUKE AND THE DANCER
returned here after months absence. The
latter, who had been failure at the Winter
Garten before, was now to everybody's surprise
engaged as the reigning attraction but without
salary, at least as far as the management was
concerned. That was paid by young George
Bleichr eder, son of the great banker friend
OF the duke, and large stakeholder in the Cen
tral Hotel company which owns the Winter
Carten. He went to the rescue of the duke and
the dancer Just In the nick of time as the Baron
Won Richthof, imperial chief of police, had
signed decree banishing Otero from Berlin as
an obnoxious foreigner. The baron, however,
was now confronted with the news of her re-en-
gagement at the Winter Garten OF course he
could have insisted on drumming her out OF town
In spite OF that engagement, just as he did in
case of Ella Pferdtner five years ago, when the
then Prince William NOW Emperor) grew too
fond OF her, but such q proceeding would have
raised no end OF trouble and talk.
