The difficulties which followed this arrest produced
a war scare in Europe. According TO NJ. Faure.
Frances assertion that Schaebee had been ar
rested on French territory was bitterly contested
by Prince Bismarck.
At this point of the proceedings letter from
Gautsch Schaebele. summoning the latter to
conference was found. This letter was immed-
ately to NJ. Herbette, French Ambassador to
Berlin, but the latter had found Prince Bismarck
so unfayorably disposed that he hesitated to in
trust such important document to his tender
mercies. At this juncture Prince Minister Won
Derneburg who was visiting Berlin, called upon
tenance of peace, and offering TO aid the French
Minister. When he saw the Gautsch letter the
German diplomat said
Give it 10 me; confide It TO me; will bring #
back at o'clock"
NJ. Herbette hestated to turn over the letter.
Prince Munster demanded the original. NJ. Her
trump card to the German Ambassador at Paris.
Prince Minister went to Prince Bismarck and
angrily asked the diplomat what business he had
to attend TO NJ. Herbette's commissions. Minister
firmly replied that he had only come to warn Bis

peror read the letter carefully and said:

A few hours later Bismarck set Schaebele at lib
erty. and the war cloud rolled away.
