NEW YORK, Nov. ia dispatch to the

Havana is in state not of tumult but oil

Anyway
Associated Press Special Wire

BERLIN, Nov, l9.-(Copyright, 1893. J
Emperor Williams sudden abandonment Of
his intention to visit one or more Spanish
ports on his return to Germany, and his de
termination to go home by way of the
Atriatic sea, landing at Pola and taking the
train there for Potsdam, via Innsbruck
has given rise to considerable speculation as
to the real motive of his change of pro
gram. The official explanation, giving the
health of the empress as the sole reason
for his majesty's rapid return, is only par
TALLY accepted here, though it IL well known
that the empress suffers severely from sea
sickness and dreaded the passage across the
Bay of Bscay, especially in view of the
change in temperature and the prospects ol
stormy weather.
The impression among leading politicians
however, is that the state of home politics
and the inappropriateness OF his proposed
visit to Spain at the present juncture main
ly influenced the emperor's decision, The
imperial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, rep
resented to his majesty the necessity for an
early opening of the reichstag, in view oi
the mass of work that body has to get
through, and suggested November 29th OF
December LIST for the opening ceremonies
Emperor William, who intends to open the
session in person, thereupon decided to re
turn directly. The ministers have all re-
turned suddenly to Berlin, and the greatest
activity is observable in political circles.
The discussion Of the governments anti
strike measure promises to make the ses
sions of the reichstag extremely lively.
1t Is suggested in some quarters that En-
peror Williams roundabout tour from Pola
to Potsdam, by way Of Innsbruck, capital
of the Austrian Tyrol, was dictated by @
plan, which, since the assassination of the
empress Of Austria and the discovery Of
a plot against the emperor's life ut Alexan
dria, Egypt, has governed his majesty's
movements namely, complete secrecy as to
the time of his departure from any place
and the exact route to be kept secret until
the last moment.

THE LlPPE- -DETMOLD CASE

The absorbing topic in the German press
during the past week has been the Lippe-
Detmold case. The verbatim publication OF
the documents, which first appeared in a
Vienna paper, and which were afterward
copied by the entire German press, enabled
the nation generally to form an intelligent
idea of the whole matter, and since, in the
continued absence of the emperor, the gov
ernment has deemed it best to keep silent,
the comments of the newspapers have been
both varied and interesting In the verbatim
reprint the regents original letter of COM
plant is shown to have been couched in very
respectful, calm language, and that appar.
|ently the emperor had no reason whatever to
reply by the curt, insulting telegram, for
bidding the regent ever to address him in a
similar manner again.
According to reports of those who are
near the emperor, his majesty has lately
changed his opinion of the whole case and
now regrets treating the regent of Lippe.

case to go so far as it has and becoming a

to stop the letter, and the bundesrath will

Of Lippe.
EXPULSION OF ALIENS
The wholesale expulsions from Northern
Schleswlg, Silesia and Posen are in conson
ance with resolutions adopted by the prus
sian cabinet, in spite of the opposition oi
the imperial chancellor, last summer. The
Austrian government has thus lar not pro
tested against the expulsion of Austrians
from Silesia and Posen, but the Danish gov
ernment has, although no reply of any kind
has been made to it's remonstrances. The
Danish press has taken up the matter and
is urging the Danes to stop buying German
goods. The Prussian government, neverthe
less, intends to continue the expulsions fol
national reasons.
The trial of French spy, Isidor Decoq
for betraying important military secrets to
France, was opened before the imperial
court of Leipsig today. Decoq's accom-.
plices have not been traced, but the evidence
points to German military men inculpated

One material alteration is likely to be a

Fresh Fruit Shipments

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. l9.-Deciduous
fruit shipments from California to the East
ern markets have about ceased for the sea-

apples, which still go forward. The total
shipments for the season to date amount to
1850 cars, as against 54OO cars for last season.
This is falling off of $50 cars, which is con-
siderably less than was anticipated early in
the season owing to the drought.
Prunes, raisins and dried fruits are NOV.
