THE WEEK IN EUROPE.
The Meorish Rebellion and Iatsrnasionsl
lseuss Arising From It-In France and Italy.
Special attention has been paid BY the
press Of Europe Is three subjects This week:
The Morocco question, the Columbian cslebra-
ton At Palos and Genoa, and the resignation
Of the Prussian minister Of the interior, Herr
Herrfurth, in connection with the Bismarch-
Caprivi movement On the last mentioned
subject the opinions arc quite divided. While
those interested in bringing about the fall Of
the present chancellor predict also the retire
ment Of Baron Won schelling, the minister Of
Justice, "ss the beginning Of the end" the
kaiser gives answer by conferring ON Herr
Herrfurth the title of minister of state and the
gtand cross Of the Order Of the Red Eagle and
appointing Count Won Gutenberg to succeed
A German Official nswspaper printed last
week that '.ths play Of the enemies Of Ger
many consisting tn bringing before the people
and the world the personality of Bismarck in
order to create dificulties for the imperial gov
eminent had totally failed" and concluded
by saying: Gwen il Chancellor Won Caprivi
should resign. which is not at al probable. for
the reason that be has always acted in perfect
harmony with the kaiser and the other menu
bers Of the government. his successor could
never be Bismarckian."
Count Won Gutenberg was spoken Of o. the
possible choice Of the kaiser. Now the cable
brings the news that the count, an ancient dan
gerous rival Of Bismarck and statesman Of
really powerful caliber. has been called TO take
the place Of Herr HerrfuFth and might succeed
Won Caprivi in the event Of his resignation.
Another Berlin paper says that during the abb
put Won Caprivi in difficult situation, but it
seems that all has been done without result
That the position Of the chancellor during
and after the fierce campaign waged against
him by enemies, both internal and foreign, has
not been shaken, adds the German daily lis clearly
proven by the fact that while editorials and
speeches Of Q hostile nature we've constantly
appearing he did not write line or utter q
word even pending the Waldersee incident 1t
is known nevertheless, that Won Caprivi has on
several occasions intimated that as he did not
wish to succeed Won Bismarck he would not be
unwilling to withdraw from the chancellorship
whenever the kaiser would permit him TO no
back to his military occupations.
THE MOORISH REBELLION IN MOROCCO.
As reported in The STAB several weeks ago.
on the information of the Austrian and English
press, the Morocco question has grown into
prominence and it 10 just now at the critical
point when European interference seems justi-
fed. In fact, after the report Of useless fighting
against the rebels the news comes that the
u
by the Berbers, who followed them within three
miles Of Tangiers, routing the regular Moorish
cavalry that had been sent to protect the retreat.
Considerable excitement prevails in the city, as
it y feared that the tribesmen in the first flush
OF their victory may attempt an attack upon the
city.
A cable dispatch from the threatened city
says that European residents are much alarmed
for several reasons, fearing the fanatic mobs
inside and from the Angherians outside, SO that
they insist on the dispatch Of European vessels
to protect them and their property. The
native troops threaten to shoot any European
who approaches the camp. 1t is, therefore, to
be expected that events will come to focus
within short time, causing European troops to
land in case the sultan's forces, already demor-
alized, should give in after another defeat.
Ten yessels-cruisers, torpedo boats and IRON
clads-are reported to be plying along the coast
OF Morocco. The blue jackets are said to be
kept In readiness for any emergency, especially
the English and the Spaniards, though Italy,
Germany and France are represented there.
A rumor is ahost relative to the mission of Sir
Euan Smith that Italy, Austria and Germany
will grant their cooperation to England.
French governmental newspaper takes
different view Of the situation,
stating that even though Premier Ribot,
the French minister of foreign affairs.
ma has expressed no general approval Of
rocco, no nation will be allowed to land troops
in Morocco except with the consent Of all Euro
pean nations interested in the matter. Ii il
further stated that England will not be allowed
to carry out the same policy through which she
secured Egypt, and that close watch is being
kept ON her movements on the coast Of Mo-
rocco. Meanwhile the English press insists that
in case Of seppus disorders the action of Sir
Euan Smith and the Moorish hostile mani
festations against his camp must be followed by
rapid military operations.
THE COLUMBIAN CELEBRATION AT GENOA.
After the celebration Of the anniversary of
the departure of Christopher Columbus at
Palos, where a model of Columbus vessel Santa
Maria was escorted by Q modern feet Of some
twenty vessels, 1t is officially announced that
the celebration at Genoa. which will be attended
by the King Of Italy, will be the occasion of q
great naval display Of one hundred men-of- war
belonging to all nations of Europe. The most
remarkable feature Of this international meet
ing viii be the review, for the first time, of the
whole Of Italy's powerful navy in the Bay of
Genoa.
1t is known that Italy began the building Of
her modern navy only some twenty years ago
and that her arsensls are kept still very busy
with new constructions, one Of which, Of the
be given the name of Christoforo Colombo.
Another political feature of the naval review Of
Genes which has been viewed with great salts
faction in Italy will be the presence among
foreign heets OF two United States men-of- war.
Up 70 yesterday the French press regarded II
a. utterly improbable that French feet would
be present. at the Italian naval review in order
to repay on the occasion Of the arrival of King
Humbert and Queen Margaret at Genoa the
visit made by the italian feet at Toulon during
the visit there OF President Csrnot two years
ago.
LIE Jour expressed the views of the French
presa in an article attributed to the well-known
member Of the chamber, Mr.. Oh. Laurent,
stating: "Our sailors are ready to soil when
our government shall be duly informed that
they viii be welcomed in the old bay of the
Dorias. But after all they do not care, nor do
| we, whether this armed international 'grimace'
should take place or not. We have known for
q long while what to think Of those who direct
Italian affairs in Rome, and will not make fools
| OF ourselves" However, the participation Of
the French feet IN the celebration of the dis
covery OF America ut Genoa next September
has been oficiaIly announced, and the latest
news 10 that they will be given the first place in
the review, and that the Italian government
and nation are making preparation for grand
reception. The Reforrna, the official paper Of
Signor Crispi whom president of the ministry,
Expresses the opinion that such great interHa-
tional event may be the first step toward more
friendly relations between Italy and France.
