CHAPTER OFF HISTORY OF THE RE
LATIONS BETWEEN FRANCE
AND GERMANY
THE ARREST OF sCHNAEBLE
Only the Good Sense of the Odd EN-
perOr Prevented HostiIIties
at the Time of the
Occurrence

PARIS, July 20.-The Figaro continues
its interesting reve- ations concerning the
political opinions Of the late President
Faure. of France. The Nigaro now turns
to the "Schnaeble affair."" in which it is
shown how Prince Munster Won Derne-
burg aVerted what threatened to be an
other war between France and Germany.
Schnaeble was arrested fifteen years ago
by a German detective named Gautch,
on the Franco-German frontier The DIFF
fculties which followed this arrest pro-
duced a war scare in Europe. Accord
ing to NJ Faure, Frances assertion that
Schnaeble had been arrested on French
territory was bitterly contested by Prince
Bismarck. At this point of the proceed
ings a letter from Gautch to Schnaeble,
summoning the latter to a conference,
was found This letter was Immediate
ly sent to M. Herbette, French ambassa-
dor to Berlin, and the latter had found
Prince Bismarck so unfavorably disposed
that he heSitated to entrust an important
document to his ten-er mercIes. At
this tuncture Prince Munster Won Derne-
burg, who was visiting Berlin, called
upon NJ. Herbstte saying he ardentiy de-
sired the maintenance of peace, and Of
fering to aid the French minister. When
he was shown the Gautch letter the
German diplomat said:
Give it to me; conffde it to me; I
will bring it back at o'clock"
M. Herbette hesitated to turn over the
letter. Prince Munster demanded the
original. NJ Herbette finally consented
and entrusted Frances trump card to
the German ambassador at Paris. Prince
Munster went to Prince Bismarck and
showed him the Gautch letter Bis.
marck angrily asked the diplomat wl4ar
business he had to attend to M Her
bette's commissions. Munster firmly re-
piled that he had only come to warn
Bismarck, and that he was going to show
the letter to the emperor of Germany
This he did. The emperor read the let
ter carefully, and said:
IN. Schnaeble was under a flag Of
truce. If we do not release that man no
man will ever dare to send a flag of truce
into a Prussian camp. He must be re-
leased. He Will be. 1 will give the order
and you can tell M. Herbette what

INTERNATIONAL, EXPOSITION TO
BE HELD IN THE IRISH CITY
NEXT YEAR
AIDED BY THE GOVERNMENT
Special Inducements VIII Be Of
fered TO Attract Visitors to the
Show From Across the
Atlantic

CORK, Saturday, July 13-The follow
ing particulars relative to the great in
telnational exposition which it is pro-
posed to hold in Cork next year are at
hand.
The exposition is being organized with
the cooperation of a government de-
partn1ent known as the department of ag-
rlculture and technical education, which
has already given a donation of 225, COO
towards tne erection of the buildings, and
in addiion the department proposes to
give the benefit of it's organization to
collect EXHIBITS from the great indus
trial centers of the world to be shown
in Cork, and in other ways to insure the
success of the great undertaking.
Inc lcea has caught on with great
enthusiasm, the patronage of the lord
lieutenant of Ireland, Earl Cadogan, mas
boen obtained, and leading noblemen OF
the United Kingdom figure as officers
on the general committee. The donations
towards the fund have been pouring in
very generously since the matter was
first mooted some three months ago, and
the latest development of the scheme
IS the selection of q site, known as the
Mardyke, which extends for more than
thirty acres in a spot very beautifully
situated by nature, and within the city
limits. The river Lee will intersect the
grounds and the service of electric cars
VIII bring visitors right up to the scene
from the various termini in the city.
From the point of view Of the exhibition
the place is suitable, and for side shows,
such as the water chute switchbacl rail-
way shooting junglos and other NINA
ture forms of recreation, it is excellent.
1t is th:cklyt wooded, and the river Lee
at this point is clear and placid. 1t is
intended to attract as many visitors from
the United States aS possible and the
transatlantic carrying companies are
being approached with a view to getting
special rates for intending visitors to
the exhibition. The companies have also
been interviewed with regard to facilities
for intending exhibitors.
