GERMANY's KAISER MAY TEACH
US MANNERS.
Won Bulow In Charge of Foreign
Affairs-Russia viii Not Tolerate
Permanent Occupation Of China
By Germany-Tainted American
Meats-Gossip.

as the Socialist Schoenlanck termed
the seizure of Kiao-Chau bay, in the
reichstag, has engrossed public inter-
est, yet the government has not
deigned the least explanation as to
what has been done or as to what is
intended in the future. What sparse
information the foreign Office has fur
nished proved to DE misleading or
stale.
This was especially the case with the
Haytien incident. The very day the
German school ships at Port Au Prince
secured obedience to the ultimatum,
the government, through its various
organ, proclaimed that a naval dem
onStration was not likely, and that in
any case a decision could not be
reached for several weeks.
IN regard TO China, although the
English press has been steadily fur
nishing details. the government here
claimed not to have any advices from
Pehin as to the real condition Of af-
fairs. AS the German minister to
China, Baron Won Heyking, had full
power to deal with the Chinese gov
eminent as ne thought best, this was
strange condition OF affairs. However,
it is nearing its end, as Baron Won
Bulow, the minister for foreign affairs,
viii shortly make a statement in the
reichstag.
The various attempts of the opposi
ton of the reichStag to draw out the
governments course during the week
We're unheeded. The correspondent
here Of the Associated Press, however,
has ascertained from reliable sources
several important facts.
NO NIEDDLING.
First. since Won Bulow has taken the
foreign Office the emperor has not been
permitted to NEEDLE with the direction
OF affairs His majesty was only in
formed OF each important step after
it WAS taken. In other words, the en-
peror has approved" not directed.
That the emperor was not to interfere
in foreign politics was made sine qua
non by Baron BulOW before accepting
office. His majesty, however, is reap
ing the benefits OF von BuloW'S vigor-
Gus policy for throughout the week,
whenever the emperor drove through
the streets of Berlin, he was enthusi-
as ically cheered by the populace, who
are heart and soul in accord with the
plans of the minister Tor foreign af-
fairs. For instance, while driving
through Interdenlinden on Wednesday
the emperor was hailed by a crowd
with Bravo, your majesty! Pitch into
the Chinese" The emperor responded
by smilingly bowling.
RUSSIA'S POSITION.
The second important news is the
certainty that Russia will not tolerate
a permanent occupation of Kiao-Chau
bay by Germany. The military attache
of q neighbOring power assures the
CORRESPONDENT of the Associated Press
that secret information has reached
here from st. Petersburg settling this
point. He says Russia, is now making
preparations to that effect.
Information has reached the United
States embassy to the same effect. 1t
is understood, however. that Washing

Baron Won Bulow's first appearance
in the reichstag, where five new cabinet
ministers made their appearance this
week, met with an aDpreciative recep-
ton. Even the opposition press greets
him with sympathy.
GERMAN LIMOGES.
The quick settlement of the Haytien
troubles was received with satisfaction
by the entire press and nation. The
lingo and agrarian papers, however,
again take occasion to preach the ne
cessity Of a. settlement with the United
States.
The Deutsche Zeitung, the main or
gan of the German extension policy
says, after a TRADE of abuse of the
United States for ''intermeddling in
Hayti,'' that it hopes Won Bulow will
draw appropriate conclusions for his
future policy in regard to America,

In this connection, the remarks EN-
peror William is alleged to have made
in conversation some time ago to the
effect tna+ this American meddlesome
policy must cease or we will be obliged
to teach them manners and in which
he pointedly referred to the necessity
for a Joint naval war against the
United States, are freely circulating in
diplomatic and political circles in Ber-
lin.
NAVAL BILL.
There has been quite a change in
che reichstag's views on the naval bill,
and it is now thought that if the gov
