concluded his visit to Vienna today.
The emperor spent the morning at the
Hofburg palace, and at IL O'Clock he
drove, accompanied by Emperor Francis
Joseph, to the Western railroad station,
the Viennese again turning out in thou
sands to greet the imperial guest.
Upon arriving at the railroad station,
the two emperors repeatedly kissed each
other, and Emperor William reiterated

corded him. At IL 80 8. m. the train
bearing Emperor William lett Vienna
for Karlsruhe.
While at the mess of the Seventh

was the bearer of the invitation, that
since his accession to the throne he had

The official admission of the truth of
reported atrocities in the Cameroons
causes indignation throughout the en-
pire. The only suggestion made rs q
possible exIenuation of the German Of
fcialB is that their health was affected
by the climate, and that this may have
caused them to indulge in such excesses
as the hogging of women. But these
doggings were not by any means the
only atrocities which have been brought
home to the German officials of the
Camer0ons.
Engineer Gerbhardt, engineer of the
steamer Nachtingal. recently in the
CAMERON country, has written letter
published here in which he says that
the unfortunate natives were hacked
and mutilated with knives, as Governor
Wehla gave order not to shoot them.
Another writer describes how the gov
ernment soldiers understood splendidly
how to hack the enemy, and again:
Commissioner Leist had some women
fetched out of the prison last night to
dance. but when the dance was finished
he did not send them all back"
The German papers condemn Herr
Adent's proposals in regard to the reha-
Utilization OF silver rs dangerous and in
viting the loss of 10000, 900 marks,
which the empire cannot afford.
Reports from Friedrichruhe say that
Prince Bismarck is now more robust and
vigorous than he has been for q long
time past. The prince takes long walks,
and has expressed his desire to resume
his exercise on horseback.
Count Won Munster, the German am
basssdor to France, is seriously i'll at
Hamburg, and has asked to be relieved
from his post at the Paris embassy.
Emperor William declines to entertain
his request.
The emperor has ordered that the
birthday OF the crown prince, Frederick
William, who was born May 8, 1892,
shall be celebrated by military con
cert at the REM concert.
Prince John OF Ssxony, nephew OF the
king of Saxony, and the duchess Maria
Isabella. daughter of D1ke Albert OF
Wurtemburg, who were married at
Stuttgart on April 9th. arrived at Dres-
den today and drove en- fete to the pal
ace of the king. From the palace the
newly married couple drove to their
own residence, cheered by the inhabi-
tants and visitors, who had come into
the city to greet them.
