Hamburg, Oct. 2S.-The Hamburger
Naohrichten, Prince Bismarck's recog-
nized organ, denies that the interview
published in the Neue Erie Presse Of
Vienna on Oct. %, was with Prince Bis
marck, as was intimated at that time.
The statesman interviewed on that oc-
casion was reported as expressing the
opinion that the cars visit to France
was necessary to keep the French in
good humor and that the overpowelinS
question before the world now is the
Russo-E English antagonism.
The Hamburger Nachrichten further
more confirms the assertion that the Sc
cret Russo-German treaty Of 1SS4-90, the
existence of which was first disclosed by
this journal last week, was not renewed
chancellor crisis, which resulted in Bis
marck's retirement and to the opposition
to the treaty of General Won Caprivi,
B;smarck's successor in the chancellor
ship.
Vienna, Oct. 2S.-The official Austrian
organs are still silent on the subject Of
the revelations made bp Prince Bismarck
in the Hamburger Nachrichten regard
ing the alliance between Germany and
Russia during the last years of his re-
gime as chancellor, but an article in the
Neue Erie Presse on the subject has at
tracted much attention, declaring that a
Russia and Germany actually existed
without the knowledge Of the other
powers.
disclosure Of the existence Of the Russo
German entente during the last years OF
his tenure Of office has had very start
ling and disturbing effect both in Berlin
and Vienna, to say nothing Of Paris,
and the eruption is regarded as periling
the preibund. A feeling Of distrust has
been aroused between the allies, and
doubts are expressed in some quarters
as to whether the dreibund will be re-
newed in 1897.
A special dispatch from Berlin says
that the German government is profound
ay irritated at the disclosure made by the
Hamburger Nachrichten, Prince Bis
marck's organ, on Monday last, in stat
ing that a defensive alliance existed be-
tween Russia and Germany during the
last years Prince Bismarck was in office.
1t is also stated that The government is
thinking of prosecuting the Hamburger
Nachrichten and chose by whom ii is
inspired" evidently referring to the ex-
chancellor.
Vienna, Oct. 2S.-The F'remdenblatt
joins with other Austrian newspapers in
expressions of confidence in Germany's
present attitude towards the Dreibund,
in spite Of the revelations regarding the
former entente between Germany and
Russia
New York, Oct ga dispatch to the
Herald says: Two of the most conser-
vative of the Paris papers-the Figaro,
the representative par excellence of the
bourgeoice of France, and Gaulois, the
sharp attacks on Prince Bismarck on
account of the revelations regarding the
RuSsian-German relations in the Ham
burger Nachriehten, for which he is held
responsible.
The Gaulois concludes that the main
effect of the Hamburger Nachrchten ar
tfcles will be to weaken the triple ALL
ance, which is already falling TO pieces.
The Gaulois says that it would be cur
Ions and instructive If he whose object
was TO isolate France should witness the
isolation of its own country and be obl;g-
ed TO admit that he himself contributed
TO it.
