Shortly, after roll call SatuiVlay tlhe non-commissioned ofllcer3 were assembled In the yutd of tho inaSning school, when MaJ. Von StetAn, director of the school,«ourround- ed by officers, proceeded ito adminis ter'a severe reprimand to .them for thc r lampooning of ceTtuln officers und in- stltutXoifs. While -the nVaJor was speaking a win dow -hi the school buKding was thrown open and.a pupil whom the officer failed to Menfclfy~ shouted, “Llcb Anarchy 1“ <MaJ. Von StoOrln dem’auded 'Che name of the culprit, but every one refused to betray Ms identity. Subsequently the personal effects of eft the students were examined and a quantity of 00- olalitstic pamphlets and other (litera ture was feu rid. . A committee of inquiry waa imme diately formed and summoned ‘he chiefs of the poll'tcal police. The adjuirant commander general all&o oommunicaited alt once w’ith the emperor, iwho is Romlten, and all Che members of the school were orderdd to remain in their rronrj, pemHn-g »:In- receipt of orders ns 10 the course «to be pursued. , A number of the pupils went to bed at tho usual hour, but many of them decided not 10 retire until informed of '.he disposi tion to bo made of them. Some time later a telegram was received from Emperor William, in which his majesty decided that summary measures should ce adapt ed. In accordance with tnese Instructions, shortly before midnight a battalion of the Guards.was marched to the school and surrounded the buildings. MaJ. von Stetton ordered all the pupils to file Into the school yard without weapons. , When • all were assembled he addressed 'them, saying: "From this mo ment consider -yourselves prisoners In pre ventive custody. Those of you who at tempt : any resistance must bo prepared for the most serious consequence*" Theb’ turning to the troops and speak ing in a louder to no he ordered them to shoot down any of the prisoners who at tempted to escape. The men silently sub mitted to their arrest and at once took their departure , for Magdeburg under guard. When they were gone It was found that several of tho pupils had been missing from the roll call, but the3e were all arrested later. During the courso of Sunday twenty soldiers belonging to different regiments were token Into custody on suspicion of Ip MU. ■ 1,mi- - t • 1 with dm pupils •'" l l th'*y. too, were sent to Mogddburg. The first arrest was mado on Tuesday last when a sergeant of the training school was taken Into custody. \i»»c au thorities of the school profess to believe that the’prlsonera have no connection with any. revolutionary party. The remaining 220 pupils who were not arrested have been sent back to their respective regi ments and the school has been closed until the caecs of the arrested pupils are tried. The Relchsanzelger says It Is likely that the greater number of the non-commis sioned officers arrested will nat be com promised. The wholesale arrests were niftde, the official |Mj" r Niyi*, with a view of discovering the ringleaders and the others who have taken part In the gross outrages against the laws and against military discipline.
