Rerlin. Aug. 2S.-The visit of President
rorre TO Russia has been very calmly
commented on in Berlin, though there is
q distinct under-current of uneasiness,
which tends to show that the newspapers
do not believe what they are printing
an the subject The opinion is expressed,
however that the czar has again made it
nain 10 France that Russia cannot be
dragged into following a policy of ire
vanche" and the conviction becomes all
tha time more widespread, as it is indus
uiously pressed in every quarter that
France will relinqush the idea of revenge
uoon Germany and the conquest of Al
sace-I I.orraine and will gradually become
more friendly to Germany. Doubtless,
however. the wish in this case is father
to the thought.
An unpleasant surprise has been created
h the naval correspondent of the Kreuz
Zeitung and other Conservative newspa-
peIs. as well as the correspondent of the
Deutsche Zeitung Rundeschaum reporting
the naval maneuvers near Dantzic during
the past fortnight. They describe the
eyolutions of the German war vessels as
having been a total failure, so far as
qlickness as maneuvering ability to resist
torpedo attacks are concerned. On Tues
day last, off the port of Bella, one iron
Cal division narrowly escaped running
aground while maneuvering to escape tor
peio boats The correspondents, who were
themselves naval men, and who were on
boud tine vessels, engaged in the maneu-
yers, attribute this lack of skill to the
want of modern equipments on the Ger
man ships.
The government will argue from this
that more cruisers are needed for the
German fleet and will urge the necessity
Of forming a division of cruisers The
new chief of the navy department, Admi-
raj Won Tripitz, paid visit to Prince Bis
ex-chancelIor on naval matters, especially
as TO the need of a larger German navy.

strengthening the fleet, but he strongly
