.ANIERONGEN, March Y7.--Consider-
able excitement was caused here on
Sunday by an attempt by a mysterious
German woman to visit former En-
peror William. She appeared at the
gates OF Bentinck castle, but was de-
MED admittance and later had con-
versation with the steward at the castle,
leaving a bouquet of flowers for Count
HohenZollern.
There were rumors that her name
was Kapp, which is the name of the
chancellor of the new German govern
ment, but there is no confirmation of
this report as yet.
The former emperor is still engaged
in saving wood and has not been per-
mitted to leave the castle even for a
visit at Doom since Saturday.
