GERMANY NOW
WITHOUT A RULER
The Constitution Makes No Provision
for a Regent.
WHO WILL PAY FOR THE JOURNEY
It's Now Proposed That the Govern

william to BE NeighbOr of
Queen Victoria in Scotland.

(Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press)
BERLIN, oct. lj.-Emperor Williams
departure for the orient has started a
discussion as to the adyisabIlity Of the
establishment of a regency.
The Froisinnige zeitung says:
IN such cases where the Emperor and
the King of Prussia leaves the country
for any length OF time as in the present
instance, a duly empowered person ought
in the meanwhile TO seize the reins Of
government
Continuing the Freisinnige Zeitung pro-
poses that the matter be brought before
the Reichstag.
A number of the leading papers support
the regency proposition while several Of
the Conservative papers scout this view.
NOT PROVIDED FOR.
The Constitution OF the empire does
not appear to provide for a regency. The
presidency OF the German Bund is vested
in the King of Prussia, but nothing is
said TO legalize the transfer OF this dig
nifty TO a regent Of Prussia. In the mean
while the Emperors brother. Prince
Henry of Prussia, who would naturally
be regent, is absent in China. The next
prince available would be Frederick Leo
poid. son OF the late Prince Charles Of
Prussia, eldest brother of Emperor VIII
liam J., the grandfather OF the present
Emperor.
The question however. with the whole
matter OF the Emperors trip 70 the Holy
Land will be threshed out during the
coming session OF the Reichstag. In
governmental circles the opinion Is ex-
pressed that it is not fair to expect the
Emperor to bear the entire expense OF
the journey, and II is said that the cost
OF His Majesty's trip, exclusive OF pres
ents and liberal baksheesh, will amount TO
at least five million marks
HE WILL BE IN DEBT.
The costly gifts to the Sultan OF Tur-
key and 10 his harem etc, also figure mp
from three million 70 four million marks,
therefore. IL IS suggested that as the voy-
age is expected 10 rebound to Germany's
greater glory and advantage. the govern
ment ought 10 make 4 grant to cover the
main expenses. more especially so as
otherwise the Emperor will have TO run
into debt
The Conservatives have answered the
governments approaches favorably. but
the Centrists replied with a fiat negative.
A NEIGHBOR TO VICTORIA.
II is now said that Emperor William
intends TO become a neighbor or Queen
Victoria in the Highlands OF Scotland.

FALMOUTH, ENGLAND. Oct. b.-Ths
British steamer MOhegan. Captain Grif-
fiths, belonging % tho Atlantic Trans
port Company, has been wrecked In the
vicinity OF the Lizard, between the Man
acles and the Lowlands. IL Is believed
that about li3 persons Of her passengers
and crew were drowned. Only thirty ono
survivors have reached the shore.
The Mohegan was formerly the Cleo
patra, of the Wilson and Furness-Ley-
land line. She left London for New YORK
on Thursday, having on board. so Ear as
can be ascertained at present, hfty-nine
passengers and a crew OF llo officers
and men.
CAUSE UNKNOWN.
From the best evidence obtainable at
81. Keverine 1t appears that the Mo-
hegan foundered five minutes after sne
struck the rocks. She was going at fuii
speed. struck twice, stopped and rapidly
settled into the water. AS the captain
and the executive officers OF the steamer
went down with her 1t has been i'm
possible thus far to ascertain how she
got out out of her course, as Falmouth
Light and the coast were visible.
Among the incidents recited Is the es-
cape OF the Pembertons. Mr.. Pemberton
Jumped into a life boat. his wife threw
him their two children. then she leaped
into the boat herself. and thus the whole
family was saved
The survivors without exception speak
in the highest terms OF the devotion,
herolsm and coolness displayed by the
officers and crew OF the Inflated steamer
and declare that all were instantly a.
their posts when It was known that sne
had struck.

the disaster, which occurred so suddenly
that there was not sufficient time 10 get

The terror OF the scene was indiscriba-

flee are reported. Many OF the crew are
known to have stood by and watched the
boats launched and put of when II was
apparent that they were the only means
by which their own lives could be saved.
IN TENDER HANDS.
A life boat containing forty-tve persons
passed many who were battling in the
water whom 1t was impossible TO save.
The villagers stood ON the shore and
cheered the boat. When the LIE boat
reached the little cove the fishermen
waded into the sea to drag the boat up
the beach and tenderedly carried the res
cued to their homes, which had been al
ready prepared for the reception and<the
Vicar attended TO injured. The life boat
was again launched and put out for the
wreck on its outward journey, picking up
three survivors. The trip 10 the wreck
was fruitless, so far as taking any one
from the vessel was concerned, but on its
way back TO the shore sixteen other sur
vivors were taken from the water. This
was just before daybreak. The latest LIST
OF the survivors shows that only 10 OF the
passengers were saved.

1t Is exceedingly difficult to trace the
events OF the disaster but so far as can

was a heavy ground swell On and O.

Dinner was ready and Captain Griffiths
was about TO proceed 10 the saloon when
a crash made Il apparent that the steamer

SELECTING MEN FOR CUBA
A Grand Military Division to
Occupy the Island.
MAY BE ALL VOLUNTEERS
Lees Forces at Jacksonville and
the Nineteenth Pennsylvania, Now
at CAM, Meade. Among Those De-
cided Upon-Maior General of the
Regular Army to Command.

An important question that Will this
week be taken under consideration by the
Administration will be the order for the
organization of the army of occupation
in Cuba.
From present indications 1t appears that
1t has been practically decided to have
three military departments, forming one
grand military division, with a major gen.
eral of the regular army in command, who
will perform the duties of military gov
ernor. There is possibility that Major
Gen. Merritt may be given this joint COM
mand though no decision has yet been
reached on this point, further than that
a major general of the regular army
would be selected for this duty. The
choice is said TO rest between Gems. Mer-
ritt Brooke and Wade.
The three military departments Will be
commanded. respectively, by Major Cen
eral Fitzhugh Lee. Seventh Army Corps:

Gen. Lawton, who is already in command
at Santiago These departments viii have
their headquarters at Havana. Santa
Clara and Santiago. respectively. The
troops in each will be scattered at differ
ent posts throughout the island WI arever
their presence may be required.
The main question to be settled this
week relates TO the volunteers to be Sc
Iccted for garrison duty in Cuba. 1t has
been suggested TO the President that he
use volunteer troops only for this serv-
ice. The plans being prepared, however,
contemplate the use of all available regu-
lar troops, particularly those at Montauk
Point. Orders for breaking camp a Camp
Wikoff will probably bo issued during the
present week. Instead of sending them all
back to their orig. nal posts. as a one time
contemplated, those intended for service
in Cuba viii probably be sent to Hunts
vile and other points in the South, pre-
Iiminary to the embarkation for Cuba.
All of the troops in Gen. Lees COM
mand at Jacksonville will be sent to
Cuba, as will also most of the Second
Army Corps, now at Camp Meade. The
Nineteenth Pennsylvania, now at Comp
Meade, it is said, has already received or
ders to prepare for service in Cuba.
