empire. in the name of himself and the
Empress, for the magnificent reception

the attention and comfort bestowed upon
the troops who were quartered upon the
inhabitants during the m~aneuvers. adding:

there were reports of choleraic cases
among the cavalry engaged in the maneu-
vers. But investigation of the reports
shows that they were unfounded.
Emperor William expressed disapproval
