AUSTRIA is DOOMED
According to Views Expressed by Bis
marck Before His Death.

Berlin, Jan 4.-Much comment has
been excited here by the publication in
Das Neue Jahrhundert of Cologne, of
alleged conversations between the late
Prince Bismarck and his intimate friend
and confident Herr Lothian Butcher. In
one of these, which fairly teens with
piquant Bismarckian expressions, Bis
marck deals with the condition of Aus
tria and probable fate of Austrian en-
pirr He expressed the opinion that
Austria had ceased to be a great power
and that her days were numbered,
though it was unlikely that he would
live to see the collapse. Still, he said,
it might come sooner than people antic-
ipate.
Regarding the alliance he concluded
for Germany with Austria, he said he
never doubted that Germany was giving
more than she was receiving and that
the inequality of the bargain would in
crease as time progressed. The Aus
trian army was lost when politics en-
tered its ranks and Austria would grad
ually become disintegrated by the pro-
cess of decay.
Bismarck said he hoped his successors
would release this in time and procure a
substitute for the Austrian alliance.
Finally he declared that the most fool
ish thing Austrian statesmen could do
would be to dissolve the alliance with
Germany.

M'KINLEY CRITICISED.
BY an Ex-Prefect Who Has Returned
From the Philippines.

Madrid, Jan. Am interview with an
ex-prefect of a province of the Philip
pines is published here, in the course
of which he is quoted as saying:
president Mckinley has shown COM
plete ignorance of the situation in the
Philippines. When the Americans oc-
cupied Manila there We're only four in
surgent provinces. The Americans en-
coura ged the rebellion and now they are
themselves the victims of the support
which they gave the insurgents who
have become masters of the entire archi-
pelago, except Mindanao, where the ma
tiVes who are MuSsulmanS, have re-
fused to recognize American rule, al
though they have not revolted.
tAguinaldo's unpopularity is due to his
friendship for the Americans. His
treatment of Spanish prisoners has been
horrible. Monks have been marched
through the streets, led by cords at
tached to rings through their noses,
and others have been employed literally
as beasts of burden. A thousand have
died of Entertainment"
