Berlin, Aug. G0-rhe kaiser is greatly
worried at the alarming reports from Ger
man government officials in Prussian Po-
land, who state that the people of those
provinces are in Il state OF great unrest
and who are secretly conspiring~with their
countrymcn in Russian Poland in the for
Torn hope of throwing off the hated Ger
man and Russian yoke.
In many places prominent Polish as'ta-
tors and patriots are openly preaching re-
bellion against their oppressors and Rus
slams and Germans have repeatedly been
nsulted and attacked by Polish mobs
Strong military forces are being moved
from other parts of the empire and sta
toned in Polish cities, but this has so far
only served to excite the Poles still more
Leading German papers are warning the
government to be ready to meet q long,
prepared rebellion, the probability OF
which increases with every new defeat Of
the Russian arms in the east.
1t is also SAID that Polish societies in the
United States are contributing large
amounts of money to tt4 treasury of the
revolutionists. ,
Also in the Polish provinces of Austria
the revolutionary movement is growing
stronger every day and in n house in
Warsaw, which was recently searched by
the Russian police, thousands of circulars
were found which prove the existence Of a
strong revolutionary organization which is
preparing to strike another blow for the
restitution of the kingdom of Poland.
Court Chamberlain's Troubles.
These arc evil days for the court cham
berlan of the empress, Count Won Mir
bach.
While he has not yet succeeded in clear
Ing his reputation in connection with the
Pommerbank scandal, another accusation
which IL
found true, will probably effect his down
fall
The count was, years ago, made the
guardian of the young Prince Friedrich
Gottiried Maria of Sayn, Wittgenstcin,
Sayn whose parents were said to have
left him a considerable fortune.
1t has therefore surprised many that the
prince, ever since he became of age, has
been in straitened circumstances, and a
prominent paper now openly accuses the
count of having spent the princes for
tune.
II further says that he took advantage
of the princes love for a young girl, not
his equal by birth, to make him accept
what little was left of his paternal estate
without any accounting in return for the
counts comforting the title of princess
upon the girl.
or course Count Mirbach denies tho
truth of the story, but as he has made no
steps to sue the papers for libel his guilt
is generally taken for granted and the
kaiser has started an investigation of his
administration of the estate.
Coming Army Maneuvers.
1t is said that the kaiser intends to send
O special invitation to two high army Of
ficers in the United States army to be his
guests during the coming German military
maneuvers which this year are to be of
unusual Importance and in which several
army corps will take part.
The maneuvers are to take place along
the coast of the Baltic and for the first
time cooperation of army and navy will
be tried on large scale.
Fer this reason large number of army
officers from all parts of the empire have
beer commanded on board the various
battleships.
The tactics of the Japanese, which have
proved so successful during the present
war, are to be tried by the kaiser, who in
person will take command of two army
corps which VIII attempt to make land
Ing on the coast of Mechlenburg.
During the naval maneuvers the kaiser
