The Hague. Aug. As soon az
Generals Botha, De Wet and Delarey
reach The Hague. 1t was stated today,
they will assemble in secret confer
ence all the burgher leaders, bo:h

KEEL. Aug. 5.-The imperial yacht
Hohenzollern. with Emperor William
on board, sailed this morning for Re-
val Russia. where his majesty is going
to pay visit to the Car on the oc-
casion of the Russian naval maneuv-
ers.
The King of Italy's proposal of a
contraction of European ornaments is
subjec ton which the Gar and the
German emperor undoubtedly will
converse at their meeting at Reval.
Emperor William almost certainly
will give the suggestion no encourage
ment. His opinion, well known to
diplomats. is that disarmament is
dream of the future and a fantastic
idea when considered in connection
with the existing continental situat on.
Germany cannot consent to impair
her finest instrument of office which
is the defense of her existence" he Is
quoted as saying. because other ma
lions are unable to equal 1t. We can
stand the expense, and besides | con-
slider that the army returns to the
nation all that Ii costs in discipline
of character and wholesome training
of the boy"
Opinion here does not regard tic
m. citing of the Emperors as If great
Importance, though it cannot b. called
mercy a visit of kinsmen, for the rea-
son that the Chancellor. Count Won
Beulow, and Count Lamsdorff. the
Rlr sian Minister OF Foreign Arilr.'.
accompany their respective sovereigns.
Prince Henry joined the Emperor on
the trip to Reval, and this seems 10
have been a late thought, as nothing
was known publicly about the Princes
intention to go to Reval until the Off
