BISMARCK.

BISMARCK.
The health of Prince Bismarck, ac-
cording to the Hamburger Nachrich-
ten, is now very good indeed, and he
IS even meditating a resumption of his
practice of horseback riding.
Military circles are greatly interested
in the Whereabouts of Lieutenant All
med 1lhani Bey, one of the Turkish
officers who was sent to Germany at
the expense of the porte to learn the
methods of the German military sys-
TEN, VINO has disappeared. The Otto
man lieutenant got into trouble with
his landlady, whose husband brought
suit against him in the courts. The
Turkish officers declarations in court
seem to have involved him i'll a charge
of perjury, and fearing the results he
fled from Berlin. A warrant has been
issued for his arrest upon the charge
Of deseTtion from the German army.
Mr. Henry Daley, of New York,
who was commissioned by the congress
of the United States to inquire into
the German system of using
FREE ALCOHOL IN MANUFAC-
TURES,
has completed his investiga tons and
expresses himself as extremely gratified
at the assistance he received from the
various German officials with whom he
came in contact. The conclusion ar
rived at by Mr. Daley, as the result
of his observations, is that it will be
possible to promote the use of free spir-
It's in manufacturing in the United
States without dafrauding the reve-
MUGS, and at the same time avoiding
the existing high taxes imposed upon
manufactures. He finds .llat those who
claimed that the use of free spirits in
German manufactures was impossible
were greatly mistaken.
Whatever seqni-official statements
may be made upon the subject, it will
be
A VERY DIFFICULT MATTER
to persuade the public that the retire
menu of General Broleert Won Schel-
lendorff from the ministry of war is
not connected with the differences
which have arisen between him and
General Won Hahnke, the chief of the
emperor's military cabinet, over the
proposed changes in the military code
OF procedure, which have already been
explained in these Dispatches. If the
statement made yesterday that General
Sche11endorff' resignation is not due
to the army reform question be gen
orally accepted as true, it will not
make particle Of difference, so far as
the better Informed circles are concern
ed. The Won Haiinke military cabinet
eTnbody the entire opposition to the
war ministry and still control the kai-
ser's action, consequently Won
Hahnke's views are likely to prevail
The departure of General Schelleudcrff
from the ministry strengthens the ex-
pectation that Prince Hohenlohe's
withdrawal from the chamcellory will
not be long delayed after the car mas
concluded his visit TO Germany, as
Prince Hohenlohe, equally with General
Scheiiendorff, is pledged to the reich
stag in behalf OF the
REFORM OF THE MILITARY
COURTS.
1t may be, however, that the reforms
will be temporarily shelved should an
eastern crisis develop, Prince Hohen-
lobe retaining his post until the in
ternational situation clears up. 1t was
the eastern complications that caused
Prince Hohenlohe to go to Wilhelmshoe
TO see the kaiser, and upon his return
here he called the members of the cab
met to Berlin. Herr Thielen, minister
Of public works, was the only mem
Der of the ministry in Berlin. the others
being absent on their vacations, but
DR. Won Boetticher vice-president of
the council of ministers, and FreiherT
MarSchall Won BieberStein, minister of
foreign affairs, were Immediately sum
moned to take part in a conference of
ministers. These members of the cab
met will remain in Berlin for the
present while Prince Hohenlohe, pend
ing the arrival of the car, has gone TO
Werhi, Russia with his wife and daugh-
ter on private business.
Mr.. j. B. Jackson, first secretary of
the United States embassy, Mrs. Jack
son and Miss Rutter. are spending a
months holiday at Beuzeval, France.
After the Silesfan maneuvres, Cap
tain Evans. military attache to the
United States embassy will leave for
home. His departure from Berlin will
be greatly regretted as he has made
hosts of friends among the officers of
the-German army and others who have
had the pleasure of meeting him.
