terday, connects the incident with an
English intrigue whose object is TO
isolate Germany and cause the with
drawal of Italy from the dreibund,
Macmillan Harden, writing to the
Zukunft, says the dreibund is now only
an external semblance of an alliance.
Germany, he says, cannot reckon upon
her allies, as she knows full well that
Russia may at any moment give her
assent to the scheme of an enemy
(France) frantic for revenge. The
Zukunft, in it's comments upon the
communication traces the present po
sition of Germany back to the policy
of the emperor and his chancellor, Cen
eral Won Caprivi. of disrupting that of
Prince Bismarck and endeavoring to
conciliate Russia. The Berliner Tage-
blatt, criticising Prince Bismarck's
communications to the Hamburger
Nachrichten, the ex-chancellor's per-
sonal organ, upon the origin of the
entente between Russia and France,
charges the prince with having used
his influence to discredit the govern
nent of the kaiser before the world,
and suggests that the time has come
when it is imperative that the current
disclosures and criticisms adverse to
the real interests of Germany should
be stopped.
