BERuIN, June Europe in general and
Germany in particular has been treated 20
two genuine sensations this week and
both of them have been regarded as likely
10 have serious results. Tha first or these
was the information published by the
Reich Anzeiger yesterday that an opera
rio, had been performed upon Emperor
William. and that a small encysted tumor
had been cut from the emperor's cheek
The second startling piece of news was
contained in the dispatches from soma,
which announced that a revolution OF
some magnitude had broken out in Bulga-
r;a az the result of the fall Of the Stambu
loft cabinet. d.
THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
OF the operation performed upon the
emperor naturally caused the circulation
of ,uanv sensational rumors which created
momentary alarm throughout Germany,
in view of the fact that his father died OF a
disease which caused much discussion IN
medical circles 1T the time Consequently
the announcement of the operation upon
Emperor William III, coupled with the
fact that considerable anxiety has IRE
uuenfly been expressed about the en-
peror's healih h. caused alarm throughout
official notice of the operation was pub
lished with the express view OF forestail-
ing exaggerated and sensational stories
which would inevitably have been cir
culated broadcast if the operation had
been performed without notifying the
public of the fact.
IL now appears that Professor Berg
mann, assisted by Professors Leuthold
aud Schange at Potsdam, yes erday morn
ing removed from the emperor's left cheek
an atheroms, an encysted tumor contsin-
ing curdy matter, about the size OF a
cherry, in less than five minutes and with
out the use of an aniesthetlc. There was
very little bleeding and the patient
showed no feverish symptoms before or
after the operation, and was very little
affected by 1t.
''The emperor's general condition is
good. The manner In which the wound Is
healing leaves nothing TO be desired. His
majesty will walk in the park this after
noon"
THE SECOND SENSATION.
The sensation in Bulgaria is undoubt-
eddy matter which may turn out to be
more serious than people are generally
willing to admit. All sorts of rumors are
in circulation regarding the state of af-
fairs in Sofia. Civil war is said TO have
broken out. A portion of the Bulgarian
troops, according to report, have revolted
the latter and his cabinet are reported to
be under arrest. Owing Ito the censorship
over press dispatches from Bulgaria some
time may elapse before the exact situation
becomes known, but 1t is not denied that
serious riotng has occurred, that the mill
tary has taken sides for and against
Prince Ferdinand, that Russia may see in
the present disturbances an opportunity TO
interfere in the affairs of Southeastern
Europe, and that this may lead to grave
complications.
The Novoe Vremya has given the KEY
note OF the situation from the Russian
standpoint by its semi-official statement
that the present state or affairs in Bull
Garia cannot be permitted To continue.
whatever may te the result of the conflict
between Prince Ferdinand and ex-Premier
Stambuloff. Inquiries made in official
circles here, however, show that the Bull
sarian crisis is not regarded with alarm
here. 1t Is asserted that the new cabinet
Is composed of responsible men who are
not likely to precpitate the country into
any foreign complications In fact, il is
said Stambuloff's position is an exact par
allel with that of Prince Bismarck, and
Prince Ferdinand is blamed for allowing
his jealousy of Stambuloff's popularity to
induce him to dispense with the man who
made the Bulgarian nation. The opinion
prevails that the Princess Maria of Bull
garia, the wife of Prince Ferdinand, had q
large share in the latter's decision to re-
move Stambuloff.
A NOTABLE WEEK.
The present week has been notable for
military events. On Tuesday Emperor
William held a sort of trial review OF his
three sons. Prince Frederick William,
William Eitel and AdsIbsrt Ferdinand,
preparatory TO the entry of the latter into
the army on his attaining his tenth year
CD July IA next
On Wednesday there was az annual
spring review of the garrison of Berlin In
the presence of Emperor William and the
King of Saxopy. The military display
took place on the Templehof field and was
Witnessed by many thousands of people.
The enrolling of Prince Adalbert In the
First regiment, foot guards. Ill the presence
of the empress in the Lustgarten, was
most interesting ceremony. Emperor
William made short speech, during
which he dwelt upon the Importance of
the prince. although almost too young
for military service. becoming acquainted
with the laws of discipline and obedience
which have always been the foundations
of the army.
The Taseblatt says it learns from a good
source thai the government has opened
negotiations with King Leopold in regard
TO the Anglo-Congo convention. with a
view TO the protection of German in terests
in Africa.
