Berlin May 21.-The absorbing topic of CONVERSE
hon in American society here is the expulsion from

views with Chancellor Caprivi and INSISTED upon

I'm Fan lavst intrcues and inquiry into his ante
cedents showed that he had previously been expelled
from Austrian territory for his close connection Win

THE EMPEROR AND PRINCE BISMARCK.

Emperor and Prince Bismarck In consequence OF the
reported felicitous telegram the Emperor sent to
Count Herbert Bismarck on the occasion OF his

congratulations upon your engagement 10 Countess
Margaret HoyOs."
The Hamburger Nachrichten" In article in
spred by Prince Bismarck. absolutely denies the re-

In Italy 1t declares that Italy should Dot be forced,

depends upon the protection she expects 10 receive
from British feet in the event of war with Farce.
