Buda Pesth, Oct. 31.-The Pesther
Lloyd is authority for the statement
that Emperor William has written a
letter to Emperor Francis Joseph rel
alive to the Hamburger Nachrichten's
recent article, which was inspired by
Prince Bismarck, showing that from
the six years from 1884 to 1890 a Sc
cret alliance existed between Ger
many and Russia to the prejudice of
Austria, one of the contracting ma
lions to the triple alliance, of which
Germany and Italy were the others.
The proposition for the formation Of
the triple alliance was made in 1882
and adopted in 1888, but it was not
until March 1887, that the alliance
was formally signed. According to
the Nachrichten's revelations the Sc
cret usso-German treaty provided
that in certain contingencies Austria
would not have the benefit of Ger
man support as was provided for by
the triple alliance, a statement that
has caused widespread comment on
the Bismarckian methods in Austro-
Hungarian and other political circles.
