Special to The Herald

Special to The Herald
FRIEDERICHSRUHE March 49, .
Prince Bismarck today gave an au- .
. dience to Editor Brockel of Chicago. .
The prince utterance on the Cuban .
. question is, without doubt, the most .
. important that has been made in .
. Europe since the war for the inde- .
. pendence Of the island began. .
. Bismarck is the very citadel Of con- .
. servatism in Europe. His voice is .
. the voice of sober second thought Of .
. the old world. Although the weather .
. was inclement, the venerable prince .
. walked erect without difficulty. He .
began the conversation by eulogizing .
his old American friends, Bancroft. .
Motley and Schurz, and then went .
. straight to the heart of the issue be- .
. tween Spain and the United States. .
mckinley has shown superior .
. statesmanship by calming public ex- .
. element" he said; "the exaltation of .
. the American mind concerning Cuba .
. Is not quite understood in Europe, yet .
it is true there are Spanish jingoes .
. as well as Yankee jingoes. .
1.-THE Spanish standpoint is mediae-o
. val. SPANS atrocities in Cuba. her .
. misgovernment at home and her treat-o
. ment Of captives in Montjuich fort .
. ress are fresh In our recollection. .
Spain is today on the verge of bank .
. ruptcy. She cannot rely on any sup .
. port, except possibly from France or o
Italy. .
. when the German emperor spoke .
. Of the Cuban question recently. he did .
not refer to war between the United .
States and Spain, but to settlement .
. In money. We Germans condemn .
war as impracticable. We sympa- .
. thize with the grievances Of the .
. Cubans. Q
II prophesy that Cuba will soon be- .
. come an independent republic by dip .
. lomatic means" .
Bismarck has been confined within Q
doors for twelve weeks. He is some- .
. what pale. but his eyes were bright D
and his spirit high. A delegation of .
. old Schleswig- Holsteiners called on o
the prince today and he congratula- Q
. ted them on the fiftieth anniversary Q
. Of their separation from Denmark .
and the abounding prosperity under Q
the beneficent rule of the Father o
land. .

WASHINGTON. March 1s.-secretary
Wilson Of the agricultural department has
directed Inspector Hill at San Diego, Cal.
TO look into the conditions affecting herd
of 5000 cattle in Monterey county. Of that
state. This is said to be part of the large
large number of cattle in California kept
to the south Of the national quarantine line
because OF fear that their expectation to
the north might result in the spread of
Texas fever. The cattlemen Of California
have made strong representations to the
department to permit the animals to go
beyond the line for the reason that, owing
to the drouth in Southern California they
were dying Of starvation. If the agent
finds no reasonable objection, the animals
will be allowed to go to the northern part
of the state. there TO be kept in quaran-
tine by the local officials until Nov. 18th.
Similar action will be taken respecting
other herds, where owners make requests
for 1t.
Permission GIVEN
SACRAMENTO. March 18.-Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson has notified DR.. W. P.
Matthew's, secretary of the state board of
health. that cattlemen will be allowed to
move their herds from the southern part
OF the state over the federM government 8
splenetic fever quarantine line. provided
the cattle first be inspected by q govern
ment official appointed for the purpose,
and provided, further, that after they have
crossed the line they shall be kept apart
from all other cattle until Nov. 10th.
The removal Of cattle from the southern
districts to the rich ranges in the north
has become imperative owing to the fact
that the exceptionally dry winter has left
the ranges in the former section barren.
Persons wishing to take their herds
across the line must first get permission
from the secretary Of agriculture 80 to
10. after which they will be inspected be-
