BERLIN, July 2a.-Although the
health of the empress is steadily i'm
proving it is not likely that she will
be able to go to Sassnitz in time to be
there when the emperor arrives. On
Thursday the kaiser was at Nyland-
not the Russian. but the Swedish Ny
land-where he landed from the
H~ohenzollern and gave 4 picnic party
in a grove situat ! a mile in the inte-
rior. On Friday he was at B~ergholm
and on Sunday at H~elsingborg.
From Helsingborg to Sassnitz is
but a short trip. The emperor
is in constant communication with
the empress, however, and in the
event that her physicians decided that
she ought not to venture the journey
to Rugen the emperor will come to the
new palace and pass two days with
the empress there before he starts for
England where he will attend the
Cowes regatta. The empress still
passes the greater part of each day in
a reclining position, but she is able to
take frequent short drives and these
have lone her a great deal of good.
Jolly Times on Board the Yacht Hohenzol-
Tern.
Letters received by their friends
from several of the officers OF the i'm
perial yacht Hohenzollern tell of jolly
times on board that vessel dur
ing the kaiser's trip. While at
Nyland the emperor arranged boat
races between the crews of the
H-ohenzollern and the war ship
Gefiou and crews of local vachtsmen
and fishermen. After these and other
sports the emperor gave a musicale re-
ception on board the Hohenzollern,
the crew of which vessel are now
proficient cEoristers. On this Occa-
sion they sang a number of German
national songs in such perfect time
and tune as to excite the admiration of
the Swedes, who cheered them Justify.
The EmperOr's Diversions.
The emperor has been playing lawn
tennis at Tullgarn, dancing at lIern-

ly. Iiis entire tom has abounded with
fetes given in his honor and good ma
tured familiarity on his part with the
natives. He has learned enough
! Swedish to enable him to toast King
Oscar in That language in a ann in
telligible to the Swedish folk, and this
has greatly pleased them and also en-
HANGED his prestige among them.
The imperial children have been
staying at the schloss in Dwasiden.
They are kept very close to the >chlOss
and rarely allowed to go outside the
park.
The Alleged Entente Between England
and the Dreibund.
The report that an entente has been
| established between England and the
dreibund in regard to a concerted poll
icy concerning the Balkan states is
| generally discredited here. Count Co
luchowski. the Austrian minister of
foreign affairs. had a long conference
with Emperor Francis Joseph at Ischl
On Thursday, and on Friday went to
Altusse to see Prince Won Hohenlohe,
the German chancellor, who is So
iourning there. 1t was the first meet
ing of these two statesmen as leading
ministers OF great powers. although
they were personally acquainted
with each other. Prince Hohenlohe
was German ambassador to France
during the time that Count
Goluchowski was secretary of the
Austrian embassy in Paris. and the
two then met very often. The official
press are unable to say whether the
recent meeting of the two ministers
was anything more than n of mere
courtesy and handle the subject with
a marked degree of reticence as to
positive statements. Whatever may
have passed between them the tone of
the North German Gazette's articles
indicate that Germany is not COM
mitted to following the lead of Aus
tria in Bulgaria. Germany" say
the Gazette, Though not indifferent
to what may happen in Bulgaria, viii
maintain an attitude of reserve"
