His Greatest Hopes Blasted.

Prince Herbert Bismarck had been
i'll some weeks with cancer OF the
liver. For several days before his
death, according to cablegrams. his
case was considered hopeless:
Born in IS49, he was the eldest son
of the late Prince Otto Bismarck, the
great Chancellor of the German En-
pire. He studied law in Berlin and
Bonn Universities, served in the Prus-
sian Army as lieutenant of reserves
dufing the Franco-German War OF
1870 1871, and was severely wounded
at the battle Of Marsha Tour.
In 1873 he became an ofhcial OF
the Department of Foreign Affairs
and was assistant to his father, then
chancellor. He was attached to the
German Legations at Berne and at
Vienna from 1874 to 1877. Later he
became councillor of the German En-
bassy in London and subsequently oc-
cupied the same position at st. Peters
burg. In 1884 he was appointed Min,
lister Extraordinary at The Hague, ana
in 1885 he became Under Secretary
of State in the Department OF For
cign Affairs.
Since he ceased to be Under Secre-
tary of Foreign Affairs on the retire
ment of his father, Prince Herbert had
taken part in public affairs only as a
member of the Reichstay. His atti-
tude had been that of man not ap-
preciated by his sovereign and who
was waiting in the background for
an opportunity to resume his career.
His delivery as a parliamentary
speaker improved year by year. He
always declined to join any political
group, steadfastly calling himself an
Independent His naughty and inn
perious manners in early life, when he
was ever conscious of the fact that he
was the son of the most powerful
statesman in Europe, softened IN later
years.
Prince Bismarck's father trained
him to be his successor as Chancellor
of the German Empire, and it was a
heavy blow to both that this hope
could not be realized.
An incident which nearly wrecked
cellor great annoyance was Prince
(then Count Herbert's elopement
with Princess Carolath Beuthen, wife
of Prince Kari, the head of distin-
guished Silesian house. The Princess
was of the Hatzfeldt family, and young
Bismarck at the time was has fathers
private secretary. Count Herbert re-
NAMED with the Princess in Southern
Italy a few weeks and then, at the
command of his father, returned to
Germany. The Princess was after
ward divorced and has since died.
The title of Prince Bismarck and
the large fortune of Prince Herbert
will go to his 7-year-old son Otto. The
late Emperor. Frederick gave to the
elder Bismarck extensive forests at
FREDERICKSBURG, which have since in
creased in value, and the Chancellor
gave to Prince Herbert $2,4oo,ooo in
securities and cash. The estate is now
estimated to be worth 100000, ex-
elusive of the lands.

HORRORS OF PORT ARTHUR.
Prince RadzIvll Tells Of Bellgerents' Feroelty
Truce Ignored.

Chefoo (By Cable).-According to
Lieut.. Prince Radzivil, of the Rus
sian Army, who just reached here
from Part Arthur bearing dispatche:
from Lieutenant General Stoessel, the
commander -in-chief Of the forces OF
the Russian strongholds, to General
Kuropatkin, the temper of the bellig'
erents at Port Arthur has reached an
absolutely merciless stage.
Prince Radzivil served with the
British in the Boer War, and he says
that until he became aware of the
state of affairs at Port Arthur he had
no idea that war could be so horrible.
1t was set forth in these dispatches
some weeks ago that serious stfspi;.
cions were entertained, by botn bel
ligerents that the other was misusing
the Red Cross flag. These suspicious
have been increased by the commits
sion of war acts by the soldiers OF
both armies, until now even flags OF
truce or surrender are not respected
by either side.
Prince Radzivil declares that the
men of both armies are absolutely
venomous in their antagonism. But
General Stoessel has addressed his
garrison, saying that the present mood
of the laps indicates clearly the ne
cessity of resisting them to the last
drop of Russian blood, because If the
Japanese soldiers entered the fortress
it undoubtedly would be Impossible
for their officers to control them and
prevent a massacre For this reason
Lieutenant General Stoessel is max
ing no objection to civilians leaving
Port Arthur.
When the 900 women who are IN
Port Arthur engaged in hospital work
were advised TO leave, they replied
that they would rather face the posi-
bility of massacre than desert their
posts.
In consequence of the fact that
flags of truce are ignored, numbers
of Japanese dead who have been ly-i
ing on the slopes of the hills Of the
northeast defenses for weeks past arc,
still unburier, and the stencil in Port
Arthur from decomposing bodies
when the wind is in the right direction
is almost uncomfortable. The Russian
soldiers, who are in some cases posted
only 50 PAGES from heaps of decaying
dead, have constantly to wear over
their noses handkerchiefs soaked I'M
camphor, as otherwise they would be
unable to remain at their posts. =;
In the course of the assaults which.
took place in the four last days Of
August two companies OF japanese:
soldiers, according to Prince Radzivil,
found themselves at the mercy of the
Russians and hoisted white flag. 10.
this, however, the Russians paid no
attention, but continued to volley rap
idly into the helpless ranks of the
enemy. In the meantime Japanese
troops in the rear of the companies,
that had raised the white flag saw
what their comrades had done, and,
expressed their disapproval of the sur
render by firing into their rear.
AS result from this fire from friend,
and foe 600 men were annihilated. The
dead fell among the decomposing
bodies of previous assaults.
