BERLIN, Aug. 29.-All the prepara-
tions are now made for the army ma
neuvers, which will begin on Septem-
Der 4th and last until September 18th.
The most extensive precautions have
been taken for the safety of the Car.
The chief of the Berlin political po-
lice, with 130 picked men, will guard
his majesty and mounted police from
Berlin will accompany the Emperor
everywhere In addition a special
corps of detectives from st. Petersburg
is coming to take part in guarding the
Czar during the maneuvers.
The police of Berlin and Silesia, dur
ing the past fortnight, have expelled
a number of Russians suspected of
nihilism, and a number of others are
under strict surveillance. The men
expelled include six students of the
Berlin University and four students of
the Breslau University.
Captain r. K. Evans, the United
States military attache here, will rep
resent the United States Government
at the maneuvers. AS his recall takes
effect on October 1st, Captain Evans
will have a special farewell audience
with the Emperor during the maneu-
vers, and will sail for home from Ant
werp on September 26th. There is
some comment on the fact that Poult-
ney Bigelow has not been invited to the
maneuvers. During the progress of
the army evolutions general traffic on
! the railroads of Goerlitz and Breslau
will be suspended, and the public will
be excluded from the depots of both
cities.
The general plan of the maneuvers is
that the East army will meet the West
army near Hochkrick, where a battle
slams and the Saxons and the Austri-
ans. That battle will be produced to
some extent There will also a night
attack with searchlights.
Prince George of Saxony and Gener-
al Count Won WaIdersee will oppose
each other near Breslau, and an enor-
nous cavalry engagement will occur
A number of letters were exchanged
between Emperor William and Prince
HohenIohe before the former decided
to consent to the introduction of mil
Iitary trial reform bill, which, however
as modified by the new Minister oi
War, General Won Gosler, will not NEE
with favor in the Reichstag. The am
endments make the principle of pub
licity at the trials illusory and retaiI
the Emperor's right of confirming tn
sentences. If the Reichstag reject
the bill it is stated that the Empero
will dissolve that body.
The German newspapers continue t
discuss the Samoan discussion. TIL
t Vossiche Zeitung says: A tripartit
l agreement providing for a rearrange
ment and revision of the Berlin treat
will shortly become necessary, and tn
annexation Of the island to one Of tn
treaty powers will probably be tn
/ best solution of the difficulty.
The Catholic Congress at Dresde
was less sensational than usual. Th
agrarian question was lightly touche
into Germany and the equality Of Catl
olics in public office was demanded.
