BERLIN, March 14.-[Copyrighted,
1896, by the Associated Press. l-All the
surroundings of the visit of Count
Goluchowski, the Austrian minister of
foreign affairs to this city, testified to
its significance. Emperor William per
sonally showed him the greatest con-
sideration and closest attention, of

| studded Cross of the Red Eagle was

Austrian minister for about an hour

erybody understands that the dreibund

exchanged between Berlin and Rome

terviewed during his stay here, but the
Associated Press correspondent learns
upon reliable authority that the
MAIN OBJECTS OF HIS VISIT
were attained; that in view of the
weakening of Italy the Austrian Ger
man understanding has been widened
so as to embrace armed assistance
| from Austria in the event of French
I or Russian attack upon Germany.
| Italy's share in such an event will be
a passive one.
Count Goluchowski, the Associated
| Press correspondent is reliably in
! formed, has received promises that
| Germany will, in the future, adopt a
more friendly attitude toward Great
Britain, whose entente with this dre1-
| bund Austria regards as an important
factor in the situation. There has been
no formal written expression of this
readjustment and none will be made.
Both Austria and Germany regard
the fall of Signor Crispi as an irrepar-
| able loss, and it is admitted that the
new Italian premier, the Marquis di
Rudini, is only passively friendly to
| the dreibund
