THE GERMAN PRESS.
Berlin June 29.-The action Of the Govern
nent in abandoning its attitude of reserve toward
Prince Bismarck, evidenced by the threats
made in the official North German Gazette" has
caused a decided sensation throughout the En-
pire and further developments are awaited with
almost breathless interest.
The language of Prince Bismarck which has
apparently caused the Government to determine
TO prosecute him, appears in an interview pub
lishe5 in the west Deutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung,' the Princes new organ in Cologne.
The passages in this interview that are espe
cially offensive to Emperor William charge him,
after the failure of his visit to the Gar at
Narva, with asserting to Chancellor Won Caprivi's
greatest error, a precipitate breaking of every
link that bound Germany and Russia According
to Prince Bismarck, the Emperor thought
his personal amiability would win the
Russians. Intermediates, possibly appointed for
the purpose, brought to the ears of the Emperor,
even before he left St Petersburg remarks that
had been made by members of the Cars circle
which left no doubt Of the political failure of
his visit Under these circumstances, the En-
peror's immediate journey to England, followed
BY the East African treaties, assumed the aspect
of demonstration against Russia. These Incl
dents were succeeded by policy of friendiness
toward the Poles, which was still more calling
to the Gar. No graver change in German policy
could have been adopted 1t showed to Russia
on the political horizon Polish legion in case of
war. with in the event Of Russian defeat, new
Kingdom of Poland This naturally resulted in
the visit of the French feet to Cronstadt. ~Ihe
appointment CT Polish bishop at Posen was also
declared to be a mistake in the internal and ex-
ternal policy
In the course Of the interview Prince Bismarck
further said "When read General Won Cdprivi's
first speeches as Chancellor l saw that had been
entirely deceived in my estimate of him-a thing
that seldom happened to me- always liked him
until then ] thought him firm and sincere and
generally reticent never recommended General
Won Caprivi for the post of Chancellor. / had
once spoken 70 the Emperor about him as filter
for the place of Prussian Prime Minister at some
future period. This was long before the Emperor
demanded point blank that / ask to lie relieved
from Office which refused to do. offering passive
resistance to the demand. The Emperor had been
in secret negotiations with General Won Caprivi,
meanwhile keeping me away from Berlin under the
pretext of sparing my health, but really in order
TO keep me from actual contact with the political
situation
The "Vosslsche Zeitung" says: - single
step on the part of the Government in the
contest now openly embarked upon may lead to a
tragedy. No matter what the opinion about Bls
