The First Tale Of Alliance.

Stockholm, July l4-The Associated
Press is able to state on good authority
that a German-Swedish alliance is seri-
ously contemplated.
The question, it is said, was discussed
at conferences between Emperor, Will
liam and King Oscar on board the i'm
perial yacht Hohenzollern at Gehe yes
terday. The conference lasted three
hours.
King Oscar and his party remain
with Emperor William until he departs
from Gefe, Friday afternoon. Besides
many will soon make the greatest naval
demonstration in it's history in Swedish
waters.
On July 20 six battleships will ar
rive at Gothenberg and eight cruisers
at Uddevalla while on Aug. seven
battleships, ten cruisers and torpedo
boat squadron is due at Stockholm and
Norrk oping and five battleships at
Karlskrona.
The government has granted these
squadrons permission to enter wal
ports.
CONSERVATION in Sweden.
CONSERVATION prevails thruout the
country over the sudden announcement
that a German armada will make q
demonstration at five different points
In Swedish waters. No foreign Heet
of such proportions ever came to Swe
den before. The disposition of the
squadrons will amount to blockade
Of the entire Swedish coast.
It is not too much to say that This
unexpected and unsolicited visit Of the
kaiser's navy, while not considered E
hostile act, excites establishment Dor
dering on alarm. Nobody, not ever
the government officials, is able to OF
fer an explanation. The newspaper
refrain from comment because, as edl
tors confdentially inform the CORES
pondent, they are astonished at thi
fresh outbreak Of William s favorit'
policy Of surprise and mystitication.
Not Altogether Reassuring.
If he intends 1t as token of friend
ship, it is asserted that he has over
done it, and that he ought to hav
chosen q more amiable and less dis
nuieting form Of amity than girdlin
Sweden with a formidable Gordon o
German battleships.
Stockholm was aroused last night b
the roar Of saluting guns i'm the inne
harbor.
When the smoke cleared, the Germa
coast defense cruiser Aegir was foun
anchored near the palace, having a.
rived without notice, NOTWITHSTANDING
that Stockholm ten days ago was off
cially declared war harbor and ina
cessable to foreign men-o war.
Swedish susceptibilities are furthe
injured by the information that tt
German general staff has detailed off
GERS to investigate the state of milita1
preparations in Sweden and Norway.
