CONDEMNS THE TIMES.
King Edward Sends Cordial Letter to
Emperor William.

Berlin, March 10.-A local news
agency declares today it has learned
from IN unimpeachable authority that
King Edward has sent letter to En-
peror William couched in the most
cordial and friendly terms concerning
the existence of private correspondence
between the Emperor and Lord Tweed
mouth, first lord of the British adj
niralty. 1t has been charged that the
Emperor in his letter attempted to in
fiuence British legislation in naval
matters. 1t was expected that the cor
respondencc would be read yesterday
in the British House of Commons,
but TINS the ministry declined to do.
According to this agency King Edward
III his letter takes the viewpoint that
tho British Parliament and the public,
as well as an immense majority of
the press Of England. sharply disap-
prove of the action Of the Times.
TINS agency says that the attempt
OF the Times to exploit private and
non-political exchange of correspond
encc in a sensational way and In a
manner antagonistic to Germany
caused the British King to write as
h" has to Emperor William. The
Kings action, it is added, will create
the best impression both in Germany
and in England.

The King is as safe in Barcelona as
behind the walls of the Alcazar at
Madrid. The popular hatred is against
Premier Maura, who is trying to stamp
out the Democratic movement by pit
ting the Republicans against the Car

had made no comment except to de-
clare that he was sane at the time of
his marriage and to express his Will
ingneSS to meet the issue
Asked whether Mrs William Thaw
was active in the planned litigation
Mr.. Peabody replied:
mo, she is not
Mr.. O'Reily added to his formal
statement that Evelyn would take the
stand during the annulment proceed
ings and that several of the medical
experts who had testified at the muir
der trial also would be called. He add
ed that despite his announced deter
minatlon to contest the suit he be-
lieved that Thaw would put serious
obstacles in the way of separation if
for no other reason than the gratitude
he felt toward his wife for the aid she
had rendered him when he was on trial
for his life. AS to his clients financial
resources, O'Reilly said that he thought
she had funds enough to maintain her
during the trial of the case and as for
the future was capable of earning a
large income as a writer.
Eoth lawyers emphatically denied
that Evelyn had been followed by de-
tectives or that she had made any dc
mand upon her husbands mother for
Il money settlement.
1t is understood that the attorneys
for Mrs. Thaw will depend practically
on the evidence introduced in the last
trial Of ThaW to prove that he was
mentally incompetent at the time le-
gally to contract Il marriage. Should
this be established the case would be
won for the plaintiff providing there
was not introduced by the defence that
Thaw subsequently recovered full pos
session of his faculties and by continue
ing III" marriage relation gave validity
to the original contract.
This point the attorneys would not
discuss tonight 1t was pointed out,
however. that Thaw. though committed
to an insane asylum as having been
insane at the time he killed White,
had not been declared insane at the
present time. Whether the matter Of
his sanity will be determined before
the trial for annulmcnt is not known.
If it is not there will he added interest
in the proba BILE effect of the present
suit upon the later efforts to get Thaw
out of the asylum
