Berlin, Sept. 14.-According to mill
tary experts. the army maneuvers in
the vicinity Of Stettin this week have
been a great success and have demon
strated amply the excellent discipline
OF the men 1t has also been shown
according to the same authorities that
the days OF usefulness of cavalry are
by no means past. as has been asserted
in some quarters. Both German and
foreign experts are loud in their praises
of the skill displayed by Emperor WALL
lam in handling the troops In Thurs
days action. which followed the plan
which he had personally designed. A
new system of field telegraph which
was introduced in this engagement
proved that most successfully. Per-
haps the only thing in connection with
the army maneuvers which has left
any i'll feeling is the fact that the
count Of Turin. second son OF King
Humbert Of Italy. was treated with
decided GOODNESS at Stettin.
The squadron Of evolution maneu-
vering at sea off Dantzic put into the
roads to-day accompanied by the royal
yacht Hohenzollern with Emperor WALL
lam on board.
Since the emperor's denunciation Of
socialists the seizure Of socialist pa
pers and the arrest Of their editors
have been incidents Of almost daily
occurrence. The Vossiche Zeitung Of
this city warns the government against
i'll advised attacks upon the liberty Of
the press. The ministers are all TAX
ing their holidays. and 1t Is impossible
that any decided anti-socialist meas
ure will be adopted at once. 1t Is
known. however. that Count Won Eu-
lenberg, who Is credited with having
great influence with the Emperor Will
lam, has been strongly advising his
sovereign towards more vigorous re-
pressive enactments. A Hamburg
newspaper declares that the imperial
chancellor. Prince Hohenlohe. will re-
sign his Office IL the emperor should
insist upon the Introduction 81 any
such measure.
The promotion of Count Won walder-
see to be field marshal has directed
attention anew to a man who is des-
tined to play a leading part In the next
great war In which Germany Is en-
gagged. Won Waldersee is regarded as
Won Moltkes ablest pupil. His hand
ling Of the ninth army corps at the
Stettin maneuvers proved him to be
a capable strategist.
The conservatives are meeting the
attacks of Baron Won Hammerstein,
impugning their political integrity with
patriotic vigor. A committee repre-
senting the Kreutz Zeitung publishes
a statement to-day which is signed by
Count Won Finckenstein to the effect
that Baron Won Hammerstein was sus-
pended from the position Of chief edi-
tor of that paper in July and since
then facts that have been brought to
light which have compelled the COM
mittee finally to break off all relations
with the baron and that the latter had
been placed In the hands Of the public
prosecutor. In addition the Kreutz
Zeitung states that 1t Is found. upon
competent authority. that Won Ham,
merstein resigned his seat in the reich
stag and the house on the 1lth inst.
A caterpiller plague is destroying all
the green crops in the vicinity of Ber-
lin and in Silesia.
