KAISER HAS MERELY “APPROVED.” “Direction of Affairs In China and Hayti Done by the Foreign Minister. RUSSIA MAY NOW TAKE A FIRM STAND. Wiil Not Tolerate a Permanent Occupation of Klao-Chau Bay by the Germans. Special Dispatch to THE CALL BERLIN, Dec. 1L—Throughout the | week a peculiar condition of affairs bas prevailed, so far as the press is ¢ rned. | The “‘Chinese adventure,” as the Socialist | Schoenianck termed the seizure of Kiao- | Chau Bay in the Reichstag, has engrossed | public interest, yet the Government has not veigned the least exnlanation asto what has been done, or as to whnat is in- tended in the future. What sparse infor- | mation the Foreign Office has furnished | proved to be misleading or stale, This was especially the case with the Haytian incident. The very day the 0olships at Port-au-Prince secured obe- through its various organs, proclaimed that a naval demonstration was not likely and that, in any case, a decision couid not be reached for several weeks. Inregard 1o China, although the English press has been steadily furnishing details, the Government here claimed not to have any advices from Peking as to the real condition of affairs. As the German Minis- ter tc China, Baron von Heyking, had full | power to deal with the Chinese Govern- | ment as he thought best, this was a strange condition of affairs. However, it s nearing its end, as Baron von Bulow, | the Minister for Foreign Affairs, will | shortly wake a statemeat in the Reich- stag. The various attempts of the opposition of the Reichstag to draw out the Govern- | ment’s course during the week wers un- | heeded. A correspondent here, bowever, | bas ascertainea from reliable sources sev- | eral important facts. First, since Von | Bulow has taken ihe Foreign Office, the Emperor has not besn permitted to meddle | witt: the direction of affairs. His Majesty | was o informed of each important step er it was taken. In other words, the imperor has “approved,” not “directed.” That the Emperor was not to interf o fore poticies was made a sine qua non by Baron Bulow before accepting oi- | fice. His Majesty, however, is reaving | the penefits ot Bulow’s vigorous policy, ior, throughout the week, whenever the nperor drove through the streets of Ber- lin he was enthusiasticaliy cheered by the populace, who are heart and soul in ac- cord with the plans of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. For instance, while driving through Unter den Linden on Wednesday the Emperor was hailed by a crowd with “'Bravo, your Majesty. Piich into the Chinese.””” The Emperor re- sponded by smilingly bowing. The second important news is the cer- ainty that Russia will not tolerate a per- manent occupation of Kiao-Chau Bay by Germany. The military attache of a neighboring power assares the spond nt of tie Associated Press thatse- cret iniormation has reacned here trom St. Potersburg settling this point. He says Russia is now making preparation to that effect. Information has reached the United States ¥mbassy to th - same effect.

There has peen quitea change in the Reichsiag’s views on the naval bill and it now thought that if the Government takes pains to conziliate the Center with a promise of its influence to bring about ihe repeal of the Jesnit expulsion act, or a promise to favor the Catholic school pre- tensions, the measure may pass, although it is said the septennate provision will have to be modified, which, it is believed, the Go nent is unwiiling 10 ¢o.

HAVANA, Dec. 11.—Reliable reports state that American citizens in Cienfugos and that vicinity are indignant over the searching of the American steamer San- tiago at that port by the police and civil guards. Indignation was heightened be- cause the alleged search was made at the suggestion of American Consul McGarr. | It is charged against McGarr that he in- | formed the authorities that, in his ju(lp»i ment, a search would result in the finding of insurgent correspondence. As a mat- ter of fact, the police discovered nothing suspiciou+ Since the capture of Caimanera by in- | surgents and the recapture of Guisa by | the Spanish there has been a lull in mili- tary operations in the east. | Spanish official reports of appalling | atrocities committed by insurgents. in Guisa are declared by members of the | Junta to be stupid falsifications. They point out that it is unreasonable to sup- pose that women and children were burned alive, when among the inbabitants there must have been families of rebel soldiers, and Spanish soldiers were spared and taken prisoners. The paiace officials say the story of atrocities is fully con- firmed, but are unable to furnish any de- | taiis. In Havana province active operations have been carried on. General Parrado who recently -left Havana for Batabano, came across a large force of rebels yesier- day near Caiman under General Mayia Rodriguez. The rebels numbered 500 and were strongiy entrenched iu the hills, but Parrado immediately ordered an aitack and a fierce engazement ensued. Parrado bad 4000 men and afier a stubborn resist- ance the rebels were compelied to retire, carrying their dead and wounded along. The rebel loss must bhave been heavy. The Spanish had one iieuienant-colonel, sixteen privates killed and many wounded, Parrado’s horse was killed un- dershim.

Feeling Agalnst All Foreigners at Port-au-Prince Is Intense. PROBABILITY OF CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT. It Cannot Outlive th= Crisis Unless There Skiliful Present Is Very Managem:nt, Copyright, 1897, by James Gordon Bennett. PORT-AU-PRINCE, Dec. 11.—There is a strongz vprobability of a change in the Government as a resu't of its action in the Lueders incident, and it cannot outlive the present crisis unless the management of affairs is very skillful. The feeling aganst the Germans is still intense, but all foreigners are safe. The Marblehead is here and all on board are well. Tne officers will be received by President Sam on Wednesday. The Ameri- can colony ard legation will visit the war- ship to-morrow. The German naval com- mander called upon the President to-day and his visit will be returned to-morrow. One result of the developments of the last few weeks isthe arrest by order of the Government of several editors who were outspoken in their criticism of the con- duct of affairs. America has lost much influence and prestige through allowing the Germans to do as they wished. The American col- ony is also greatly disappointed. Minis- ter Powell is endeavoring to create a | better teeling toward the United States, with a good hope of success. In a prociamation ‘he President says that Minister Powell first solicited the re- lease of Herr Lueders, which seemed to put an end to the affair. When the German Minister returned here it was thought the subject would be left for discussion with Berlin, and that the troubie would be settied through ordinary diplomatic channels. The arrival of the warships with the ultimatum. therefore, caused the greatest surprise. The first idea of the Haytian government was to make an armed re- sistance, leaving the German naval com- mander to carry out his threats of bom- bardment. The republic, however, left at thé last moment to its own resources de- spite its hopa of powerful naval support decided that it would be wiser to yieid and spare the nation, and especiaily the weaker part of it—the women and chil- dren—from a calamity resulting from ag- gression by mizht over right.
