NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-A cable to
the Herald from Vienna says: Ac-
cording to information from well
informed source, news has been re-
ceived in Vienna that when Krueger
received a telegram from the Car in
forming him that his majesty could
not accede to his request to intervene
he was very depressed. and is said
to have remarked to his entourage:
Now my last hope is gone"
LONDON, Dec. 11.-"Dr. Leyds and
his friends are spreading a report, +"
says the Amsterd-m corr eSpondent OF
the Daily Mail, that Queen Wuhel-
nina will intervene alter her mar

| BERLIN, Dec. 10.-In the Reich
stag today the Imperial Chancellor
Count Won Bue.ow replying to a Ques-
| ton on the subject of K.ueger's fail
ure to be received by Emperor VII
liam, said the Government did ell in
its power to ward OFF war and left the

il The chancellor added that when tn,

Great Britain by the United States il
, a quite generally worded inquiry, i

ly. Intervention might have led tt
war.

of NJ Delcasse, the French Minister o
Foreign Affairs, to Kruger as

certain eyentualties become known
provided that they are calculated t
serve French interests"
The chancellor thereupon remarks
that he could not have dealt with tn
situation better himself. Official hon

he would not be responsible.
