BERLIN, May 5.-This was another
ideal spring day, regular "Kaiserwet-
ter" just the thing for the interesting
army manoeuvre held this morning.
Emperor William and Emperor Fran
els Joseph of Austria, left the Anhalt
depot promptly at a. M, arriving on
the immense plain of Jueterbogk,
where the sham fights were arranged,
by 9 o'clock.
The exercises occupied an hour and
a half, after which the emperors
lunched at Jueterbogk, returning to
Berlin at p. m.
Both emperors appeared to be in
good health and fine spirits.
Most interesting features of the
| sharpshooting were witnessed and ex-
plantations were given to the Austrian
| emperor by Emperor William and Gen
Won GosSler, the minister of war, and
Count Won Schlieffen, the chief of the
general staff, about the improvements
| hitherto held strictly secret of both the
German army rife of the latest pattern
and the new field guns. These ex-
plantations were made to Emperor
Francis Joseph alone and not to his
military suite. The Austrian emperor
was deeply interested in them. The
| exercises, however, in themselves,
made a picturesque spectacle, more
especially the part which displayed the
new tactics of the field artillery.

in costly diamond studded frame and
| autographed with the motto "Semper
