There have been large strikes in a
number Of German cities. In Berlin H.,
600 shoe-makers have struck for II uni
form scale of wages and it is thought
that the shoe-makers elsewhere will
join. The cabinet-makers of Hamburg
and Altoona. have struck for nine hours
work per day and at Dresden 500 cigar
ette-makers have gone out on strike.
There are similar reports from Chariot
tenGurg, Stettin, KOenigsberg and Sorau,
and big strikes are impending in the
Rhcnish mining districts. At Baron Won
Stumns request a detachment of troops
has been sent to the Saar district to
preserve order.

ject, the activity in the various naval
anu military bureaus, continues without
reference to the work of the Court OF
Inquiry This activity up to the present
time has not taken the form Of any con-
eerted or elaborate plan of emergency
preparations. but has been manifest MAIN
ly through comparatively minor acts,
which taken together have shown that
the heads of departments We're not mac
tive in preparing their branches of the
service for any requirements which it
was possible might be made upon them.
\ member of the Cabinet stated to-
day that there should be no misunder-
standing or miscOnstructiOn of these
steps. For instance, all of the manifold
movements, particularly in the west, of
war material are declared simply to be
in execution of plans long ago developed
by the FOrtifications Board for the de-
fence of the coast.
There Is no cOncealment of the fact
however. that the administration is inn
pressed with II sense of duty i'll putting
the two war branches in the highest
state of efficiency to meet any emer-
gency. There is no disposition to anti
cipate an emergency or to say that any
situation Will develop which 1t Will call
into use the preparation now on foot
On the contrary, the highest authorities
of the Naval and military branches say
they do not expect an emergency, hut
are performing the duty allotted to them
of being ready for any result that may
come.
Senior Du Bose, the Spanish Charge
DAffairs, called at the State Depart
ment to-day and had II short talk with
Judge Day concerning recent tilibuSter-
ing movements. The department desir-
ed to get fuller information than had
thus far been furnished. 1t is under
stood that SPANS purchase of war ships
and other subjects which have attract
ed much interest within the last few
days, were in no way referred to.
The departure of General Wilson,
Chief of Engineers of the War Depart
ment, for the South. it is now admitted,
is for the purpose of inspecting fortl-
tication and river and harbOr improve
ments. His trip may extend TO Dry Tor
tugas in the Gulf of Mexico.

Berlin, March 5.-In the Reichstag
this week. during the debate on the
reform Of the military code, remarkable
statements were made by Baron Won
Hertling. the Bavarian Centrist leader,
and Count Won Lerchcnfeld, the repre-
sentative of Inc ijavarlan government
Both asserted that if Bavaria was not
allowed To retain Il separate highest mill
tary court there was danger of very
serious crisis.
1 The Reichstag. like the Bundesrath,
supported Bavara's claims.
+ At Il dinner which the Imperial Chan
cellor. Prince HohenlOhc gave to the
parliamentary leaders the same evening
he asked the Bavarian representative
what was the actual feeling and received
THE reply that Bavaria. for some time,

sharing this feeling.

excellent holding ground.
Into this anchorage are three channels

TO indicate that the fort is i'll a bad

fort and is narrow and tOrtuous. In
places it is less than 300 feet wide. The
depth is four fataoms by selection but
there is a II foot bead near the north
