Berlin, May 2.-Rumors of another
cabinet crisis have been current
throughout the week, and some of the
newspapers have even gone to the ex-
tent of predicting the resignation Of the
imperial chancellor. Prince Hohenlohe,
and the minister of war. General Bron-
sart Won Schellendorf. Immediately up
on the return of the emperor to this
! city. The cause Of the conflict is said to
be the proposed reform Of the military
tribunals. According to information
obtained from inner circles the follow
ing is the position: The military court
procedure is antiquated. dating from
1913. and is full of abuses. Under it
publicity is vigorously refused and
trials are only conducted In public in
the case of the Bavarian army.
NEW MILITARY BILL
General Spitz, who is looked upon as
| likely to be appointed president OF the
| imperial court martial. drafted a bill TO
remedy these defects, and the measure
| outlined was approved by the cabinet
and the bundesrath. The bill is now be-
! fore the emperor, who, so far, has not
!
| king of Saxony, whose counsel is great
ly valued by the emperor, opposes the
| bill, and so does General Won Hahneke,
chief of the military cabinet, and Lieu
! tenant General Won Plossen, who is the
| emperor's favorite aide-de-camp. In
spite of this opposition. it is believed TO
| be likely that the emperor will approve
the bill. He is, however, greatly an
noyed at the press campaign on the sub
| ject, which is looked upon as intended
to put him at variance with the cabinet
| and the more so because he half be-
lieves that the projected reform will
weaken the discipline Of the army.
HCEENLOHE'S HEALTH.
! It is an undoubted fact that Prince
! Hohenlohe's health is shattered. He
! cannot attend to his duties in the reich
stag and bundesrath, and his resigna-
| ton of the Office Of chancellor cannot
be far distant. But the emperor is I'M
able yet to decide upon his successor.
Count Philip Won Eulenburg, General
Won Weldersee and General Won Alvens-
leben are mentioned as Prince Hohen-
lohe's possible successor. The two last
named are committed to military re-
forms.
The emperor and empress, after at
tending the Frankfort and Berlin peace
jubilees, propose to visit Duke Ernest
Gunther of Schleswig-Holstein brother
of the empress, at his estate, the cha
teau of Prunkenau, in Silesia. This
event will publicly mark the complete
reconciliation of their majesties with
the duke, who has been in disgrace for
over a year past. His majesty will af-
forwards make another trip to northern
seas.
In consequence of persistent reports
of the discovery of valuable gold, copper
and coal fields in the northern of Ger
man colonich, Africa, an expedition has
been fitted out to proceed to that part of
the world and thoroughly explore the
region where the discoveries are said to
have been made. The expedition will
be absent eighteen months.
Prince Ferdinand Of Bulgaria will re-
side at the Schloss during his stay in
this city. He is being shown more than
usual attentions.
THE Mad KING OTTO.
The forty-eighth birthday of the mad
King Otto of Bavaria was officially cele-
brated by the court at Munich on Mon
day. The king is thinner and has be-
come quiet and traetable, but is quite
impassive to his surroundings. The
physicians in attendance on the king
think he may live to an old age, unless
a blood vessel in the brain should sud
denly burst. The idea TO formally de-
clare King Otto's reign closed and
crown Prince Luitpold, the regent, king
of Bavaria, has again been abandoned
on the advice of the emperor and the
kings Of Saxony and Wurtemburg.
Count Won Caprivi, the ex-chancellor,
came 10 Berlin this week, bronzed like
IVY IL hod a filIl
beard, wore a black slouch hat and
carried heavy cane. He made no Wis
its and none were paid TO him.
The old report that NJ. Herbette. the
French ambassador to Germany, IS TO
be recalled, is again revived.
