Berlin, May 5.-This was another
ideal spring day, a regular Kaiser wet
ter, just the thing for the interesting
army maneuvers held this morning.
Emperor William and Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria left the Anhalt depot
promptly at a. M. arriving on the
immense plain of Jueterbogh, 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
l a. m. Both emperors appeared to be
IN good health and fine spirits.
Most interesting features of sharp
shooting were witnessed and explana-
tons were given to the Austrian en-
perOr by Emperor William and General
Won GCssler, 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 rifle of the latest pattern
and the new field guns. These explana-
tons were made to Emperor Francis
Joseph alone, and not to his military
suite. The Austrian emperor was deep
ly interested in them
The exercises, however, in themselves
made a picturesque spectacle, more e9-
pecially the part which displayed the
new tactics Of the field artillery. The
emperorsl after their arrival at the
JueterbOgk depot, mounted horses and
rode past the troops placed in file from
the depot to the maneOuvres field.
When they arrived there the Ordre de
Bataille was given out.
Fine Military Display.
The whole was under the command
and direction of Major General Won
Schmidt, representing the inspector of
field artillery. The troops present were
a battalion of the first guard regiment
a battalion of the second guard regi-
ment, a battalion composed of one COM
pany each Of the guard chassaurs and
guard ScheUtzen Lehr and a battalion
Of infantry Of the shaTpshOOterS' school:
also two squadrons of life hussars and
a field artillery regiment made up from
the sixth instruction batteries of field
artillery of the instruction school. Each
body was in full war strength, with
cartridges also, as in time of war.
The full strength of a guard pioneer
company also participated. The most
remarkable feature, about which En-
peror Francis Joseph repeatedly eX-
pressed his admiration, was the exact
ness of aim shown both by the artillery
and infantry, even at great distances.
The Austrian emperor once summoned
a general of his suite and pointed out
this feature to him.
At the conclusion of the sham battle,
a parade march filed past the emper-
ors, Francis Joseph thanking the Off
GERS commanding for the impressive
spectacle witnessed and according them

Emperor Williams appointment as
Austrian field marshal general pleases
him greatly, the more so because it is a
grade seldom awarded, and none existed
in the Austrian army since the death
Of Archduke AIbrecht, in 1895. The
military rank thus conferred on Emper-
or William is higher than his own in
the German army.
Francis Joseph Is Liberal.
Besides this courtesy, the Austrian
emperor also gave William a magnif1-
cent profile of himself in a diamond
studded frame and autographed with
the motto, ''Semper Idem" always the
same.) Emperor Francis Joseph also
presented the German Empress and her
whole family with fine gifts. The visit
