Berlin, July 27.-The Bulgarian i'm

the German newspapers but more at
tention is now given 10 the war COM
memorations which are now fairly IN
der way. On Aug. 6, the bloody en-
gagement on Spichren Heights will be

|. EMPEROR IN SWEDEN.
The emperor today is visiting the cas-
tie of Duvasidenrugen, this being the
birthday of King Oscar of Sweden. The
empress has not fully recovered from
her illness brought on by her exertionS
at the KEEL fetes, and 1t Is doubtful
whether she will be able TO join the i'm
perial children at Sarnitch. The en-
peror has handed to Count Won Bray
Steinbourg, the German minister at
Stockholm. the sum OF 1000 crowns for
the poor Of that city and 5000 crowns
for the poor Of the cities he has visited
during his trip to King Oscars domain.
The duke of Cumberland has decid-
ed to send his son Prince George WILL
lam. heir to the throne OF Brunswick,
to the gymnasium at Lubbock IN the
autumn and later to the German uni
versity. He attains his majority in
three years.
In spite of half hearted denials there
are good reasons for the belief that the
duke of Sax-Coburg and Gotha intends
soon to resign his duchy in favor OF his
son, Prince Alfred, who will be Il years
old on Oct. Is, next and who Is much
more popular In the duchy than his ia
Their, in the fact that the latter IS
charged by the local press with being
Indifferent to the welfare of his German
subjects. with pronounced English
tastes and predictions and with mig
gardlesss in the management Of the du-
cal estates. The leading Liberal news
paper Of the duchy calls 1t IAN out
rage for a foreign born prince TO rule
in the heart Of Germany when he pre-
fer living in England to living In his
own country"
LOOKING FOR A SPY.
An unknown spy was arrested recent
II while taking notes about the fort
ress walls of Spandau: but he was re-
leased after mawing the plausible state
ment that he was an ex-captain OF the
guards giving the name Of a man whom
he strikingly resembles. Inquiries
which were subsequently, made. how
ever, have shown that the unknown
was an imposter and the authorities
are now actively searching for him
It has now been ascertained that
the fire which virtually Destroyed the
town Of Brotterode was started by
boy who was frying IN barn a. trout
which he had caught In a neighboring
stream. The fire which he made In the
barn spread TO some straw, the barn
itself caught fire and the flames spread
to neighboring buildings and the result
was the almost total destruction or
Brotterode.
Drastic measures are now being TAX
en- to hinder any further introduction
Of socialist doctrines and literature In
to the army. The latest order issued
in this connection instructs the OFF,
GERS TO read to the recruits Joining for
the army manoeuvcrs a manifesto
threatening them with court martial
and the most severe punishment IL they
propagate socialism while bearing arms
ELBE RELIEF FUND.
A final report issued shows that the
sum Of 6s3, 1000 marks was collected
for the relief Of the Elbe survivors and
for the assistance OF those who suffer
ed the most by the loss OF relatives.
