DEAD STATESMAN EUL0GIZED
ROYAL oPERA-HoUsE DRAFTED
 IN MOURNING.
Emperor William Expresses the Wish, That the Princes Grave Shall Become a Mecca for Ger
 man Pilgrimage. 7
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BERLIN, Aug. "A Bismarck me morial service, organized by the Berlin Bismarck committee, was held at noon to-day in the Royal Opera House. There was a large attendance. The ceremony was impressive and worthy of the occasion. The walls and balcon- les of the auditorium were draped with black. After the funeral march from Beethovens "Eroica Symphony" had been performed curtains were drawn aside disclosing a laurel-surrounded bust of Prince Bismarck. In front of the pedestal upon which stood the bust was a gold wreath trimmed with mourning ribbons.
 Ernest won Wildenbruch recited a poem entitled "Our Bismarck" and the chorus of the opera sang Wei Sic Sanft Ruhen." Privy Councillor Kahl, an old friend of the dead statesman, then delivered an oratfon in which he referred to Prince Bismarck as "the conscience of the German people, a heritage ever defended with our blood"
 At the conclusion of the oration the assembly arose and sang Arendt's hymn, "Gehm Nun Hin Und Grabt Mein Grabe." The services were con- cluded by the renderir- of a funeral march by Wagner.
 The Staats Burger Zeitung says that after the funeral services in Berlin on Thursday last, at which the Emperor and Empress and many diplomats were present, the Emperor, in conversation with his Ministers, expressed the wish that the memory of the great Chan rellor shall remain fresh and undimmed with the German people and his grave become a place of national pilgrimage for all time"

the institution will be compelled TO
curtail its work.
This information was received by the
Levy Court from TiIghman johnson,

SPAIN No MATCH.
General Ross Does Not Think United
States Would Have a Hard
Fight.

General Ross OF this city passts his
opinion on the war question and thinks
that everything pretaining to it is sub
ject to circumstances.
ii the United States send two thousand
good reliable men to Cuba, to reinforce
the insurgents that would be enough to
surround the forty thousand remaining
Spaniards who are ON the island and kill
them or run them off the island, which
would surely mean the surrender Of
Spain for Cuba's freedom.
"The United States don't want to goto
Spain to fight, but, free Cuba"
lie don't think that the Spanish
Government had anything to do with
the sinking Of the Maine, but but some
treacherous subject OF Spain. Spain
don't seem to want war very bad, and
the Queen and Sagasta would make
satisfactory returns If the people would
only consent to it, but, they will make a
hard fight to claim Cuba if there is any
possible way.
Tley could MOI land ship in the
United States only at ATLANTIC City, and
no more than one or two shiploads OF
men could be landed there, and then the
bui ding Of large breast works would soon
force them to water again, for one thou
sand men could easily keep two thou
sand away, providing breast works are
made.
They might possibly make landing
on the Delaware, Potomac, and New
York Bay, II there are no mines placed
in them.
He says il war would come it would
not last long, ss the United States
people are getting more swar-like spirit
every day
