CUTTING SHORT THEIR VISIT.
Enp perOr and Empress of Germany
VIII Not Go to Jericho.

Jerusalem, Oct 31.-The Emperor and
Empress Of Germany are curtaiHng their
visit to the Holy Land. They have aban-
doned their trip to Jericho. owing to the
European complications, and it is also be
lieved they viii not go to Syria.
Their majesties this morning attended
the consecration of the Church of the Re
deemer. The ceremony, in which the ma
tives took leading part was most i'm
Dressve and was marked with the greatest
pomp.
1t is understood that their majestes will
remain here for some days.
At ocloek yesterday morning Empress
Augusta Victoria attended the opening of
the German orphanage in a vicinity near
Bethlehem. Their majesties have spent
considerable time amid the scenes connect
ed with the Saviour's Nativity. They have
visited the pool of Bethesda, the tFadi-
tjonal site of the Ascension and the Gar
den of Gethsemane and have enjoyed the
magnificent view of the Dead sea and the
plan of Jericho from the summit of the
Mount of Olives. Attired simply and like

has charmed her hosts by

consisting of swarthy Bedouins, fierce

ropeans, a Heterogeneous mixture that
could not be assem- bled in any other city
in the world. Various reasons are as
cribed for the Emperors curtailment of
his journey, but 1t is said that the main
cause is the excessive heat and the dis
comfort of travel. Nearly forty horses
have already succumbed, and the Emperor
has, therefore, decided to return to Haifa
from Jaffa by sea.

Gency Squadron Gathering at Dnv-
enpOrt in All Possible Haste-A
Supposed Russian Spy Arrested at
Fort Near HarVvich-CruIsers at
Portsmouth Taking On Their Full
Complement of Men.
London, Oct. Sl.-There was an unusually
gloomy feeling this morning on the Stock
Exchange and the Paris Bourse, both these
markets being influenced, It is Inferred,
from the aggressive tone OF some Of the
French papers. Besides this something
extraordinary seems 10 have happened
and it looks as if q crisis were approachlng
The British naval preparations are GER
tainly being pushed with great activity.
The British emergency squadron is gath
ering at Davenport with all possible speed.
Seven battleships and one cruiser have been
thus far designated to join this squadron.
Officers and sailors have been hurredy
recalled from leaves of absence and sew
eral bettleships and cruisers at Ports
mouth are taking their fun crews on board
and other warlke preparations are being
made.
A number of signal men, now on duty
in the British channel squadron, which ar
rived al Gibraltar this morning, have been
ordered home for service, It is presumed
on board the auxiliary cruisers, If the lat
ter should be required for active service.
A sensation has been caused by the ar
rest this morning of supposed Russian
spy at a fort near Harwich. The man
was already under surveillance and went
10 a redoubt where he tried to obtain
some information from a sentry regarding
the fortlhcations. He was promptly ar
rested and inquiries are being made re-
garding his antecedents.
II was also asserted to-day that the COM
mandlng officers Of the London volunteer
regiments have received orders to prepare
for immediate mobilization, and Il was as
serted that the different artillery corps had
been informed as to the forts on the south
orn and eastern coasts to which they have
been allotted.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon
says: England has been and even now is
so near war that the government has car
rled on its preparations to the farthest
limit of the preparatory stage. It has been
arranged to call out the reserves and mill
tia and to mobilize the volunteers stimuli

CARTER CASE IN NEW coLoR.
His Friends Want 10 Present some
New Statements.

Washington, Oct Si.--Capt. Carter's
friends have petiuoned the President for
hearing to present some new statements
as TO fact and law in his case. The re-
quest has been granted hy the President.
and the hearing win take place az the
White House during the present week
n is said that Judge Edmunds. in re-
viewing the case. found some irregularity
In the proceedings, but they are not be-
lleved to be OF sufficient significance to
materially alter the findings OF the court
or affect the final decision of the Presi-
dent
In view of the magnitude OF the charges
and the severe penalty imposed by the
court martial the President deems 1t ad-
visable to take this rather unusual course
before final action on the case is taken.
While 1t Is impossible to anticipate the
action of the President, It is believed that
he may regard the penalty imposed by
the court as too severe. and tighten Capt.
Carter,s punishment by mitigating a por-
ton of the sentence.
The case has assumed national impor-
tance by reason of the amount Of money
involved and the social and political in
fiuence behind the accused
It is not known who will do the plead
ing for Capt. Carter before the President
nor Is II probable that the hearing will
be public
The greatest interest clusters around
the case, and the friends and foes OF the
captain are following closely every move
made for or against him.
