PRINCE BISMARCK
REVEALS SECRETS
His Personal Organ tbe Hamburger
NUbrichteo Makes Trouble.
EMPEROR WANTS AN INTERVIEW
He Demands That thePriuce Come
to Berlin for a Conference The
Revelation ot the Kusso-Gertuan
Neutrality Treaty Cause a Breeze
in Court Circles--Effect ol McKln
ley's Election.
Berlin, Nov. 8. A report which ob
tained general credence was in circu
lation last evening that the Emperor
had demanded that Prince Bismarck
come to Berlin for the purpose of en
gaging In a conference with himself and
the imperial chancellor, Prince Hohen
lohe, in regard to the disclosures of
state secrets which Prince Bismarck
has been making and continues to ut
ter through the medium of his personal
organ, the Hamburger Nachrichten.
Prince Hohenlohe, who is personally
placed In a position which Is very dis
tressing to him and is desirous ot hav
ing a quiet official life, has suggested
that both the emperor and Prince Bis
marck take some means to bring about
an immediate cessation of their pole
mics, which are endangering the peace
of Europe. Among the staunch adher
ents of Prince Bismarck the opinion
prevails that things have already gone
too far, and they are agreed that the
controversy must cease, but none of
them venture to suggest any plan
whereby this object may be accomplish
ed. From Munich, Carlisle and other
places where Prince Bismarck is strong
In the possession of friends or influence
and high station it is known positively
that supplications have been addressed
to him to discontinue the course he is
pursuing as the only means of averting
serious trouble.
Apart from the responsibility of the
ex-chancellor for the revelations of
the Russo-Germnn neutrality treaty
and the other disclosures which have
been made, the question has been dis
cussed In Berlin whether Dr. Hoffman,
the editor of the Hamburger Nachrich
ten, ought not to be indicted, but as a
result of the discussion it was decided
that the Indictment of Dr. Hoffman
would be impossible, as bad a move in
fact as it would be to prosecute Prince
Bismarck himself under the articles of
the penal code by which Count Von
Arnlm and Professor GefTcken were
tried, convicted and Imprisoned and
tinder no circumstances would the em
peror permit such a proceeding as this.
The controversy has now reached an
acute stage and Is seriously affecting
the health of Prince Hehenlohe who is
essentially of a pacific temperament
and accustomed to quit diplomatic
combats. The feverish and implacable
fight which is being waged by Prince
Bismarck is causing the chancellor to
pass many sleepless nights and for
this reason the emperor Is desirous of
putting an end to t" w'jole matter as
speedily as possible; otherwise the
kaiser is understood to be willing to
allow Prince Bismarck to expand to
his utmost limit, meeting each of the
developments of his warfare with ex
planations making prominent the pres
ent honest policy of Germany as con
trasted with the shifty diplomacy of
the old chancellor. In the meantime
Prince Hohenlohe Is standing between
the emperor and Prince Bismarck In
the attitude of a peacemaker,
and anxious to conciliate both
sides and at least to obtain a ces
sation of the duel without the precipi
tation of a national scandal.
EFFECT OF THE CONTROVERSY.
Meanwhile it is understood that the
effect of the controversy, coupled with
the articles thereon published in the
official press has been to weaken the
ties of the Drelbund. Apropos of the
Russo-German neutrality treaty the
Cologne Gazette In its comments, asks:
"In the event of war between Russia
and Austria would Germany side with
Austria In view of the fact that France
would then attack Germany?" In ans
wer to its own question the Gazette
argues that Austria must face Russia
alone, as Italy would not intervene.
Naturally the Austrian and Italian
newspapers are asking of what value is
(he Drelbund if it can be thus repu
diated when the occasion suits.
The policy which Mr. McKlnley Is
expected to pursue after his inaugura
tion president of the United States In
regard to bimetallism and the tariff
continues to be discussed in the col
umns of the leading newspapers. The
Kreuz Zeitung maintains that there is
reason for a feeling of satisfaction
among the bimetallists of Europe as
there are grounds for their feeling
hopeful that the first aim of Mr. Mc
Klnley will be to obtain a settlement
olthe monetary question upon an inter
national basis. In regard to the tariff,
the Zeitung proceeds tirst to advocate
the cooperation of the European pow
ers for a concerted Interpretation of
the Monroe doctrine as international
law and then goes on to argue In favor
of an International agreement for com
mon duties upon the leading: American
imports. "This movement for a com
mon European tariff war In response
to the election of Mr. McKlnley," the
Zeitung says, "Is not a new suggestion
as the same cry was heard during the
first outburst asuinst McKlnley tariff
when the law 4.nt Into operation In the
Vnlted States, but the movement was
seen to be impracticable."
Pursuing the subject, the paper says:
"If it is impossible to achieve Joint
European action Germany must pro
ceed upon Independent lines, first creat
ing a high maximum tariff and then
give notice of a cessation of the most
favored nation system as soon as the
United States government realizes its
tariff."
The Zeitung reasons that this would
have the effect to secure the success
of negotiations for a treaty based upon
the new German maximum tariff.
The Hamburger Nachrichten relies
upon Mr. Klnley favoring bimetallism
in principle and believes that he will
do his utmost to obtain an internation
al monetary agreement.
The Hamburg Correspondenz, a
semi-official Journal, says that al
though It Is not in expectation that
there will be any ultimate benefit to
the commercial relations between Eur
ope and the United States as a result
of the presidential election, It Is con
vinced that the bimetallic movement
will rather revive than subside under
an administration of President Mc
Klnley. THE DAUNTLESS CAPTURED.
A Towing Steamer Seized for Violat
ing Laws.
Jacksonville , Fla., Nov. 8. The
steamer Dauntless seized by the col
lector of customs at Pernandina for
violating the laws by not carrying a
rufflcient number of life boats, has,
It 1 alleged gone to Brunswick, Qa., to
''gfa.ie In the towing business. The
st vf ( i M rit officials are suspicious of
i til. buster and yesterday as soon aa
the revenue cutter Colfax arrived hen
in charge of Captain Herring, the cut
ter Boutwell at once took on coal and
started in pursuit of the Dauntless. In
an hour after the Boutwell crossed the
bar the filibustering steamer Three
friends left the dock and crossed the
bar after dark. It had on board three
weeks supply of coal.
The Three Friends was closely fol
lowed by the steamer Kate Spencer,
which has several limes carried out
cargoes of arms and ammunition to the
Three Friends. The United States
cruiser Raleigh has been ordered from
Key West to the St. John's bar to
watch filibustering expeditions.
OFFICE SEEKERS ON TIME
Major McKlnley's Residence it Besieged
by Numerous Callers Who Want to
Help Run the Government
Canton, O., Nov. 8. Major McKlnley
is rapidly recovering from the effects ot
the mental strain and arduous labors
of the campaign and this evening ex
pressed himself as being fully rested.
He Is In excellent health and spirits.
The president-elect spent a very quiet
day. He took a short walk early In the
morning, attended church as usual, and
in the afternoon went for a drive. The
balance of the day Major McKlnley
passed in hie library. Among those who
called were Charles G. Dawes, member
of the executive committee of the na
tional Republican committee; Ferdi
nand W. Peck and Alexander Revell, of
Chicago; Captain A. T. Willberly, of
New Orleans, and Congressman Francis
H. Wilson, of Brooklyn, N. Y.
The determination of Major McKlnley
to remain in Canton until the middle of
this week on account of the feeble con
dition of his wife, may keep the storm
cloud of political Interest central over
Canton for some days longer. The
character of the visitors to Major Mc
Klnley has changed a good deal since
his election. During the campaign,
when the railways made low rates, hun
dreds and thousands of people from the
lowly walks of life came to 'Canton.
Now the visitors are largely of the
political, office-holding, or office-seeking
classes. Some of the callers at the
McKlnley residence are old friends and
others are persons who have been ask
ed to come. Every good citizen Is cor
dially received if Major McKlnley has
the time to see him at all. Applications
for official places are beginning to come
in by mail in large numbers and they
include requests for all sorts of appoint
ments from day laborers to chiefs of
bureaus. Flowers Is unlimited quan
tity continue to reach Mrs. McKlnley.
Every room in the hou-e Is radiant with
them and the supply was so large yes
terday afternoon that a whole wagon
load was divided among sick friends and
the patients in the city hospital. Mrs.
McKlnley Is deluged with begging let
ters. One woman who wrote recently
wanted money to educate her children.
and a girl asked for enough to ouy a
bridal robe. A score of churches and
religious societies have sent plaintive
appeals. Some letters requesting Finan
cial aid by persons In distress are ac
companied by such cheerful observa
tions as this: "If you don't respond
within twenty-four hours you will prob
ably hear ot my death."

San Francisco, "Cal Nov. 8. Special
correspondence of the United Associ
ated Presses.
Toklo, Oct. 2. Terrible accounts come
to hand with incidents connected with
the Mohammedan rebellion In Kan 8u.
It is estimated that 10,000 Mohammed
ans, chiefly women, children and old
men, have died of hunger, or been
frozen to death In the hills and moun
tains. Those that have submitted num
ber 18,000, women and children for the
most part. Thirty or forty thousand
remained under arms among the hills
in the southeastern district in the mid
dle of the summer. ,
The business of beheading: the Insur
gents was conducted with wholesale
vigor, so soon as their strength had
been broken In any district. An aver
age of sixteen hundred have been de
capitated daily for two weeks. In SI
Ning, on June 18, aa 8,000 heads re
mained to come off, the sanguinary
carnival was extended to go on for an
Indefinite tune longer. Crowds ot peo
ple watched the executions, and it Is
easy to conceive the demorallaztion that
must have resulted from such prolonged
Intimacy with this bloodshed.
OUTRAGE ON AN AMERICAN
Frederick . S. Craycralt Serlouily
Wounded by Spaniih Soldiers
and Robbed o! SIM.
Key West, Fla,, Nov. 8. Passengers
who arrived last night from Havana
bring the intelligence of another out
rage committed on an American citizen.
Although the details are Incomplete,
the facts are positive, since the victim
has filed a protest before Vice Consul
Springer and the case baa been sent
to Washington for Instruction. It ap
pears that near the town of San Jons de
Las Jas, Havana province, a Spanish
force patrolling the country, surprised
3 rebels who tried to sneak into town.
The Spaniards gave chase and the
rebels fled. In order to discover the hid
ing place ot the fugitives, the Span
ish force was divided into squads ol
fifty men and they were sent In differ
ent directions. One of these parties
went to the estate owned by a Cuban
where Frederick L. Craycraft, a native
of Indiana, and only 2 years in Cuba,
was manager. They entered the resi
dence, destroyed the furniture and
ransacked the premises. The women
present were Insulted In the most out
rageous manner. Craycraft protested
that he was an American and showed
papers. This, It seems, Incensed the offi
cer in command, who drew a sword and
commenced slashing at Craycraft. He
managed to avert death, but was
wounded In the back, receiving a fear
ful gash that carried away part of the
flesh. His forearm was also cut to the
bone. The other officer interfering,
saved his life. Craycraft was forced to
deliver about $160 In his possession.
Meantime Craycraft heard from the
great outcries outside and went later
and found seventeen "paclficos" had
been killed. There was not one innsur
gent amongst them.
All this was reported last week as a
greate Spanish victory. Letters receiv
ed from Puerto Principe give further
details of the capture of the town of
Gualrmaro by Calixto Garcia. The
whole garrison, one hundred and sixty
men, surrendered and are still prison
ers, although Garcia sent word to Cas
tellanos that he would deliver them.
Garcia is also attending the officers
and soldiers wounds. It Is rumored
Weyler has issued secret orders to mili
tary commanders In sugar districts,
prohibiting grinding except on Spanish
property. Orders have also been issued
to seize foreigners residing on sugar
estates, to kill cattle and destroy im
plements and to simulate a fight in
order to scare the farmers and the
laborers.
Passengers by the steamer Olivette
also report that numerous insurgents
from the command of Gen. Gomez have
entered the province of Matanzaa dur
ing the past few days, and have caused
Gen. Weyler to dispatch six thousand
of his troops, stationed in Pinar Del
Rio district, into Matanzas. Consider
able excitement exists in Havana and
also in Matanzas, fearing an attack on
the latter place.
