Der it is certain that there will be
important changes in the cabinet,
II, indeed, an entire revision Of the
ministry does not take place. De-
spite the persistent semi.official
denials that Prince Hohenlohe, the
imperial chancellor, is on the eve
OF retirement from Office, the
Boersen Zeitung hits the mark
squarely in stating that the chan
cellor asked the emperor for his
dismissal at the time of his re-.
cent visit to the kaiser at Will
helmlshohe, knowing that the
Hahnke Lucanus cabal prevailed
against him, but the emperor in
Guced the prince to remain in office
until after the visit of the car and

The-Freissinnige Zeitung, (Radi.
cal, In an article discussing the
character of the future cabinet, as
serts that during the emperor's re-
cent trip to the Nordland Count
Batho Zu Gutenberg, master OF
ceremonies at the imperial court
of Germany, accompanied by his
cousin, Count Deenhafen, followed
the kaiser's route throughout his
majesty's tour, and kept up con.
slant communication by telegraph
with his brother, Count Philip
Gutenberg, the German ambasss.
dor to Austria, who accompanied
the kaiser in the capacity of repre-.
sentative Of the foreign office. The
motive of the Freissinnige Zeitung
in making the statement Is to de-
pict the emperor as the central
figure in the intrigues for a change
in the chsncellorship, and this
opinion of the matter has obtained
the ready support OF large num-
Der Of persons in and out of official
life. In view of all that is now
transporting in the official circle,
the feature Of the existing i'm
broglio is that two parties exist
within the government which are
fighting each other desperately.
First, there Is Freiherr Marshal
Won Bieberstein, minister OF for
eign affairs, whose inspired organ,
the Cologne Gazette, declares that
it is impossible to consider the
Kaiser's military cabinet as iden.
tical with the emperor himself
and second, there Is the practically
governing General Won Hahnke
the chief of the kaiser's military
cabinet, who, through the medium
Of the Reichssnzeiger, the official
gazette, states that the military
cabinet only executes the emper.
or's behests. Freiherr Bieberstein
himself seems destined to be ell.
bowed out of the cabinet, and DR..
Lucanus, the chief OF the emperor's
civil cabinet, Is mentioned as hav-
ing a very good chance OF being
promoted to q higher office. No.
body connected with the semi-offic.
ial press nor anybody connected
with the government has hitherto
supposed that DR.. Lucanus held
the inside of the track, but that
parsonage is now credited with be-
ing fully informed Of everything
that the kaiser intends to do.
Several newspapers which pre-
tended to be officially inspired,
were woefully discredited over the
matter Of the retirement OF Gen.
Brusart Won Shellendorf from the
ministry of war. Instances OF this
are shown in the fact that the
Berlin Tageblatt and the Hanover
Courier at the same hour that the
announcement OF Gen. Schellen-
DORIS resignation was published in
the Reichsanzeiger, appeared with
their alleged inspired announce
ment that the minister Of war and
the kaiser had become reconciled
and that the minister would re-
tain his position.
The Berlin government continues
to actively support the initiative Of
Count Goluchowski, Austrian
minister of foreign affairs, toward
the solution of the difficulties ex-
listing in Crete. Since Lord Sails
bury's rejection Of the proposal to
estab lish the blockade around
Crete, Count Goluchowski has
urged the porte to grant a new
to the island, the
main features of which are the ap-
pointment of q Christian COVER
or and the establishment of Cretan
financial autonomy, with the pay
ment OF a tribute to the sultan I'M
der the general guarantee of the Eu-
powers. The foreign consul
at Canes communicated the terms
of Count Goluchowski's proposal
to the Christian deputies Of Crete
