General Gossip From
Fatherland.

Jeltsch, the German ambassador at
Constantinople, obtained an audience
with the Sultan on Friday last and
read to his majesty a note warning
Turkey against the certainty of los
ing the good will of the powers by
permitting the continuance of atrOci-
ties in Crete. Subsequently the Aus
trian ambassador, Baron De Calico,
obtained an interview with the Sui
tan and emphasized the views which
had been expressed by the german
ambassador. The Berlin newspapers
on Saturday published report that
the powers had sent a collective note,
which probably had reference to the
less formal communication read to
the Sultan by Baron Saurma Won
Jeltsch on Friday.
The separate interview with the
Sultan by Baron de Calico was due
to the fact that he was obliged to
make special representations bearing
upon the interests of Austria which
are involved in the Macedonian ques-
ton which is becoming acute The
Macedonian committee which is sit
ting in Sofia, Bulgaria, has decided
to maketo make demand for the au-
tonOmy of Macedonia and are practi-
cally conspirng to bring about an
insurrection. 1t is believed here that
Austria has asked the Sultan to con-
sent to the occupation of Macedonia
by Austrian troops in the event of an
uprising there. In connection with
this belief it may be noted that Mr.
Nance, in speaking upon the Austrian
budget in the Reichstag on Friday
claimed that AustrO-Hungary had be-
come Balkan power since the en-
pire had acquired Bosnia and there
fore had a right to interferein the
Balkan peninsula. NJ. De Galaxy,
in the course of his remarks limited
at, without openly mentioning them,
plans which had been discussed at
st. Petersburg for confederation of
the Balkan States under Russia's pro-
tectOrate and said that in connection
Herewith the Prince of Montenegro
and the King of, Servia were expect
ed to hold conference withPrince
Ferdinand of Bulgaria at the end of
the present month.
The physical ailments of the Sultan
are among the factors which are
causing the present diplomatic fer
ment and the representations of the
German ambassador to Turkey are
aimed at immediate practical action
in Crete assisting the Kaiser's policy
of keeping peace with Europe. Stimuli |
taneOusly with this move on the part
of the Germans, Russia has urged the
Bulgarian government to put stop
at any cost to the armed bands rails
ed by the Macedonian committee eros
sing the frontier and has also asked |
the government to prohibit the send |
ing of men and munitions of war for |
Germany into Crete.
Further inquiry as to the nature and |
gravity of the illness of Prince Furst- |
enburg, who has of late been promi |
nently mentioned as the probable sue |
cessor of Prince Won Hohenlohe in the |
imperial chancellerie, has ELECTED the |
statement from those who are in a |
position to know that he is suffering
from nothing more serious than govt. |
Another scandal which has long
been the talk of society has now be-
NOlhC bIOpNi'S' nv |
German painter Franz Won Lenbach |
has brought a suit for divorce from |
his wife, who was the Countess |
Won MOlte, accusing her of infidelity. |
In order that Won Lenbach may be |
enabled to marry again he has left |
the Catholic church which does not
recognize divorces, and announces his
intention to wed the Countess Won
HOrnstein when he secures his de-
cree of separation. Frau Won Len,

gain, as soon as the decree of divorce
is made absolute, to Dr. Schweninger,
who is Prince Bismark's physician.
Prince Isenburg- Birnstein, who mar

100000 marks by the agents who
made the match between himself and
Miss Lewis.
The Hamburger Nachrichten an

henceforth decline toreceive any large
deputation of visitors, owing to the
fatigue which such receptions in
ment the eX-Chancellor will only see
