The Latest,

The following are the latest Associ- ated Press dispatches in regard to the Cuban situation and the Maine in quiry:
 A dispatch from Key West says: "The shattered section of the sub marine cable, containing seven conductors for setting off mines, IS in possession of the board of inquiry. The cable led to mine under the Maine. The discovery was made by divers at the Maine wreck. This proves that the mine which blew up the Maine was connected with a switch board ashore, which was in charge of trusted and responsible agent"
 The Pal Mall Gazette publishes dis patch from Rome U1ica saga there has been a recent exchange 1f cumun5e.- tions between the Vatican and Spain in regard to Cuba and it's relations with the United States. The pope, it is added, is ready to do all in his ower to prevent hostilities which might be fatal to the Spanish dynasty"
 The dispatch says: "The Vatican has specially exerted it's influence at Washington, and has tried directly and indirectly to dissuade the United States from plunging into a war with Spain. According to the information, If the offices of the poniiff are accepted, be will propose that Cuba remain under the domination of Spain, but be ruled on the lines of an English colony"
 Tomas Estrada Palma, of the Cuban junta, said to-day: sI consider MT. Quesada's presence at Vice President Hobart's reception to the Belgian prince in Washington yesterday mat ter ofgreat importance.

Bismark's next achievement was to
prevent the attempted annexation of

Bismarck withdrew for some months
from active public life, but he was in

Then came the Franco-Germau war of
1870 and after a campaign consisting of
an unbroken series of victories, largely
due to the strategic genius of Count
Won Moltke, King William was able
through his chancellor to dictate terms
OF peace to his helpless sssailant.
OF the events in Prince Bismarck's
life subsequent to the Franco-German
war, 1t may be mentioned that he pre-
sided at the congress of Berlin, 1873
and 1880, and the Congo conference of
1884.
In his domestic career Prince Bis
mark was far less fortunate than in his
diplomatic negotiations. In his econo-
mical policy, after beginning as free
trader, he adopted q protectionist pol
icy. He first largely reduced the GUS
toms tariff and ten years later imposed
hesvier duties than ever. While he
thus sliensted the liberals, his May
laws, which were afterwards repealed,
interfering with the religious liberty
OF the Catholic priesthood, led to
long and bitter struggle with the Ca
tholic church and made all its adher-
ents his bitter enemies. Equally Sc

noble family OF the mark" (Branden-
burg) at Schonhausen, April i, 1915.
He was created count September 10
1865, and Prince (Furst) Won Bismarck
In March, 1871. He was educated at
the universities OF Gotingen and Griefs
valid, spent some time in the army and
subsequently, settled down rs a country
gentleman. Brought up in the politi-
cal faith OF the Junkers. or Prussian
tory squirearchy he became in 1916 q
member of the provincial district of
Saxony and OF the Prussian diet, in
which he first attracted attention by
his fiery speeches in defense OF the old
monarchicsl party. During the re-
evolutionary period of 1913 the service
he rendered in the public service led
to his appointment as representative
OF Prussia In the diet OF the old Ger
man bund at Frankfort. Austria was
then all powerful in the German bund.
From the time of Bismarck's appear
ance, however, the government of
Prussia began to have increasing
weight. The successful audacity with
which he cbeckmated Austrian
intrigues at Frankfort was the
source OF constant irritation
at Vienna and nationally intended to
produce some estrangemeut between
the Austrian and Prussian courts. Bis
marck was sent as ambassador to St.
Petersburg In 1850 and held that posi-
tion until 1862. Ia May, 1862, he be-
came Prussian ambassador at Paris.

prince gratefully and graciously de-
clined, but the exchange of courtesies
between him and the emperor served
to make very manifest the desire OF
the German people for a reconciliation.
This desire was granted in 1890. The
emperor sent present OF wine to
FREDERICKSBURG and an autograph let
ter congrstulating the prince on his
recovery from an attack of influenza.
The prince at once responded to this
gracious advance by going to Berlin
sne paying his first visit to the en-
peror since he had left office. The
emperor afterward returned the visit
at Friedrichsruhe.

Tales are told of the soldiers and
sailors having sweethearts in everv

side to the story. 1t was no uncom-
mon thing during the civil war for a
girl to be engaged to three or four
men at the front. She took the pre-
caution, OF course, that each man
should be in different regiment and
as widely separated as possible. but
still she did it. For many years the

PRINCE BISMARCK.

est discomfort among the working
classes in the large cities.
Prince Bismarck took prominent
part in connection with the triple al
lance between Germany, Austria and
Italy. which is. understood to be direc
ted with possible alliance between
Russia and France against the Ger
man powers. The publication of the
late Emperor Frederick's diary, in
September, 1888, threw a new light up
on some of the imperial transaction in
which Prince Bismarck had been en-
gagged. Much sensation was created,
both in Germany and elsewhere, by
the revelation of the diary respecting
the authorship Of the idea of German
unity. The late emperor claimed to
have proposed this policy and to have
experienced great difficulty in per-
suading Prince Bismarck of its practi-
cability.
The reported resignation of Prince
Bismarck, Prussian prime minister and
chancellor, was announced in February
1890, but did not actually occur until
March IL of that year, when divergen-
cies of opinion between him and the
emperor led to his retirement. His
departure from Berlin was made the oc-
casion OF great popular demonstra-
tion.
Since then Prince Bismarck has re-
NAMED at his country seat, and as
many OF his utterances have hardly dis
played that command over his feelings
which might have been expected, es-
pecially in the earlier months of his re-
tirement, considerable friction existed
between him and the emperor.
After his visit to Vienna in June,
1872, on the occasion of Count Herbert
Bismarck's marriage with Countess
Hoyes, the Reichranzeiger significant
ly published the circular of instructions
sent to representatives abroad in May,
1890, Just after the prince had retired.
This document stated that "his males
ty discriminates between the Prince
Bismarck of former times and of to
day." and deprecated the attachment
of ANY practical Importance to the
press publications claiming to repro
duce Bismarck's views"
Ia 1898, however, the prince fell
seriously i'll and the emperor sent bin
telegram of sympathy and offered
him the use of one of bis castles to as
sist his convalescence. This offer the

Within the next ten years he humbled
the Austrian empire, destroyed the
French empire and created the Ger
man empire. He remodeled the map
OF Europe. He enlarged the frontiers
of Prussia by the annexation OF vari-
Gus provinces, including dominions OF
the three dethroned German princes,
and succeeded in placing Germany,
which had previously been the weak
est and least respected of all the great
powers, at the head OF all the states of
Europe. The German buud, having at
Bismarck's instigation, resolved to in
wade the Elbe Duchies in support of
the claims of the Duke of Augusten-
berg, Austria, Prussia and Saxony
were entrusted with the execution OF
Denmark, resulting in the loss to her
of the Duchies of Schleswig-
Holstein and Lsuenburg. Instead
Of giving them up to the duke,
Bismarck, who was now count,
determined, 10 possible, to annex them
TO Prussia. The Austrian and Saxon
troops were recalled and the quarrel
eventually led to q war in 1868 be-
tween Prussia and Austria, the last
named country being joined by
Bavaria, Hanover, Hesse Cassel, Hesse
Prussia were victorious and Austria
suffered q crushing defeat at Sadowa

and the South German states were
likewise vanquished, and the war,
which was over in seven weeks, led to

Austria permanently excluded from

and the North German federation,
