WILLIAMS BLACK EYE.
There Is Yet Doubt ns to How Won
HnhIsne's Denth WINS Caused.


| London, September Z. Mr.. Henry
Labouchere in Truth today renews the
| mysterious hints which have been In cir
| culation since the death OF Lieutenant
| Won Hahkne of the German army, son OF
General Won Habkne, chief OF Emperor
Williams military cabinet, who met his
| death by drowning in July last, whlo ac-
companying his majesty on his trip to
the Northland aboard the imperial yacht
Hohenzollern. In doing so Mr.. Labouchere
| once more publishes the intimatioa that
the lieutenant's death was a sequel to
the black eye which Emperor William re-
! ceived at about that time. According to
one story the black eye was caused by a
blow from rope, which was being whirled
about by the wind. Another story has it
that the emperor so coarsely abused Lieu
tenant Ven Hahkne that the latter conf
mitted suicide. Finally, still another YER
sion of the affair is that the lieutenant,
stung by the emperors sharp words. re-
scented them to the extent of backing his
maJesty's eye and then took his own life.
Truth today comments on the affair as
follows: 1T is worthy of remark that the
authorized version WAS most obllgingly
impressed by the officers and men of the
Hohenzollern upon every tourist they
met"
The official version of the affair In brief
seems to be that Lieutenant Won IIahkne
who was accompanied by a brother officer,
accidentally ran into the river Grondalsely
on his bicycle while trying to ovoid col
lision with a shying pony, rhe river, it
is further explained, is a raging torrent
from which escape is impossible, and when
the officer came upon the scene all trace
of Won Flahkne except his cap had disap-
peared.
Mr. Labouchere adds: 1--WE received a
letter saying that on the day following
Won Hahkne's death dummy of the same
size and weight was tossed into the tor
rent in order to test its effect. When the
dummy was down in it, it was found to
be torn to pieces and everybody agrees
that Won Hakne's body must have met
similar fate. Yet, since the appearance of
Truths remarks, it is announced from
Berlin that the body has been recovered
after six weeks in the raging torrent and
that it will be brought home for burial"
In conclusion. Mr.. Labouchere remarks:
'ferhaps, In time the full facts in this
very remarkable affair may he made
known"
