PRINCE BISMARCK
DIED ffl SATURDAY
Germany’s Iron Chancellor
Passed Quietly Away at
His Home.
WAS LEADER AMONG MEN
His Fiery Speech in Defense of the Old
Monarchial Party First Attracted
Attention and Quickly
Placed Him Before
the People.
Berlin. July 30.-Pr!nc e Bismarck died
shortly before 11 o’clock tonight.
Befalls of the ,loath of Prince Bismarck
are obtained with difficulty, because of the
lateness of the hour, the iso.atlon of t,x
castle and the strenuous endeavors of the
attendants of the family to prevent pub
licity being given to what they consider
private details.
The death of the cx-cMancellor comes
ns a surprise to all Europe. Despite the
family’s denials, there was an undercur
rent of apprehension when the sinking of
the prince was first announced, inspired
more by what the family left unsaid than
by any Information given. But when
ti'm d illy bulletins chronicled improve
ments in the prince’s condition, detailed
1. s extensive bills of fare and his devo
tion to Ids pipe, the public accepted Dr.
Schweninger's assertion when he said th i .
was no reason why Bismarck should not
reach the age of ninety years.
The reports were deemed to be a repe
tition of the alarm that Prince, Bismarck
was In extremis, which had been often
repented In the past. All of Saturday s
papers In Europe dismissed Bismarck with
a paragraph, noting Improvement, wb.de
his condition was completely overshadow. 1
In the English papers by the condition of

It appears that the ex-chancellor s death
w;.< not precipitated by sudden comp.na
tions but was rather the culmination of
chronic diseases, neuralgia of the lace and

In constant pain, that was borne with the
iron fortitude which might have been ex

Th,- beginning of ’he end dates from
July 20th, when the prince was confined to
his bed. He has been several days pros
trated before An Inkling of Ids decline
rea. h"i the world. On Friday Dr. Sch

i the past nine days I have hardly
changed mv clothes, having been travel

I'rledi lisruho, as you may notice by
my shabby velvet jacket.
lie then declared that his patients
lungs, stomach and kidnoys were sound,
hl f.e t, that his whole gigantic, frame was
sound.
“And yet." said Dr. Schweninger, “there

Dr. Schweninger added this verdict:
“With Ids extraordinarily robust nature

trnngement between the Austrian and
Prussian courts.
Bismarck was sent as ambassador to St.
Petersburg in 1850 and held that position
until 1862. In May of 1862 he became Prus
sian ambassador at Paris. Five months
later he was made first minister of the
Prussian crown.
Within the next ten years he humbled
the Austrian empire, destroyed lhe French
empire and created the new German em
pire. He remodeled the map of Europe, dis
membering Denmark and France. He en
larged the frontiers of Prussia by the. an
nexation of various provinces, including
the dominions of throe dethroned German
princes and succeeded in placing Germany,
which had previously been the weakest
and less respected of all the great powers,
at the head of all the states of Europe.
The Gorman bund, having, at Bismarck’s
instigation, resolved to invade the Elbe
duchies in support of the claims of Augus
tenberg, Austria, Prussia and Saxony’ were
entrusted with the execution of the task
and n war broke out in 1564 with Denmark,
resulting in the loss to her of the duchies
of Schleswig-Holstein and Lauenbcrg. In
stead of giving them up to the duke, Bis
marck, who was now a. count, determined,
if possible, to annex them to Prussia.. The
Austrian and Saxon troops were recalled
and the quarrel eventually led to a. war,

Resigns the Chancellorship.
The reported resignation of I’rince Bis
marck as Prussian prime mmist. r ami
chancellor was announced In I'.-bruam
1890, but did not actually occur mill. . l.u< a
17th of that year. When diven,. ncc-s >t |
opinion between him and the empc.or bd
to bls retirement. His departure from B. r
lin was made the occasion of great popular
demonstration.
Since then Prince Bismarck has remained
at ills country seat, mid as many ot his
utterances have hardly displayed that com
mand over his feelings which might have
been expected, especially in tl"' earlhr
months after his retirement, considerable
friction existed between him and the em
peror; and after his visit to Vienna in
TITE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, G A., MONDAY, AUGUST 1, 1898
June, 1892, on Uie occasion of Count Her
bert Bismarck’s marriage with Countess
Hoyes, Luxrelch Anzeiger significantly’
published the circular instructions sent
to the imperial representatives abroad in
May. 1890, just after the prince had re
tired. This document stated that His
majesty discriminates between the I’rince
Bismarck of former times and of today,”
and deprecated the attachment or "any
practical importance to the press publica
tions claiming to reproduce Prince Bis
marck’s views.”
In 1893, however, Uio prince fell seriously
111 and tlie emperor sent him a telegram
of sympathy, and offered him the use
of one of 1 is castles to assist, his conva
lescence. This offer the prince gratefully
and graciously’ declined but the exchange
of courtesies between him and the emperor
served to make very manifest the desire
of the Gernnn people for a reconciliation.
This desire was granted In 1895. The em
peror sent a present of wine to Friedrichs
ruhe and an autograph letter congratulat
ing the prince on his recovery from an
attack of influenza. Prince Bismarck ut
once responded to this gracious advance
b;z going to Berlin and paying his first
visit to the emperor since lie had left
office. The emperor afterwards returned
the visit at Friedrichsruhe.
Two attempts hav'e been made on Prince
Bismarck’s lift —the first by a man named

At the same time General Merritt’s cable

the navy’ department. Both were written
on Monday last, th" 25th Instant, and were
sent from Cavite to Hong Kong by' boat,
whence they were cabled to Washington
on the arrival of the boat today.
The message from Admiral Dewey read:
“Cavite, July 2.'. Secretary of th. Navy—
Merritt arrived yesterday' in the Newport.
The remand.-r of th. expedition Is expect
ed within the next few days. DEWEY."
A second message from Admiral Dewey
announces that Airuinaldo has assumed a
bold attitude of dctiaiieo, and that it would
take a. large force from tthis country to
Subdue the insurgents.
'lhe statement of General Merritt con
tained in his cablegram today that he
probably would m d all the troops that had
Lien assigned to him, was regarded as a
little ominous of trouble to come, though
whether this is to be wi’h the natives or
incident to the siege of Manila is not evi

INSURGENT CHIEFS CONVENE.
Aguinaldo Is Practically Dictator of

Cavite. Manila Bay, June 13. via Hong
Kong.—The insurgent chiefs from all over
t'he island met at Cavite yesterday to form
the provisional government. General
Aguinaldo is at tlhe head of it. and is prac

the capital in a small town in the interior
not far from Manila. Aguinaldo is going to
take the field in person. The insurgent
army is well armed with Mauser titles,
either captured or bought, and Bias plenty
of ammunition. Besides, the Insurgents
have proved that tlhey have great courage
and remarkable energy.
A few days since, during a raid around
the city' by Aguinaldo’s forces, they cap
tured the wife and children of General
Augusti, governor general of Manila, who
were living in a small suburb, and Admiral
Dewey’ was requested by the arelhbishop to
use ills good offices to procure tneir release.
' The German vice-admiral arrived yester
| day on the Gelion and saluted the Spanish
i flag. This has not been done by any other
nationality’ except the Japanese. The first
of the latter’s slhips to arrive after the
battle did this through a misunderstanding
of the condition of affairs. Now, of course,
it is well understood that tne blockading
Heel is blockading Manila, and only allow
the foreign men-of-war by courtesy to go
into the city.
Since commencing operations immediately
after tlie capture of Cavite by the Amer
icans, the Insurgents under Aguinaldo have
taken 2,200 Spanish soldiers prisoners.
These they’ have confined in Hie old fort
at Cavite. There the admiral has allowed
them to establish headquarters. Starting
from there as a base, they have driven back
tlhe Spaniards in a scries of .skirmishes and
assaults on their numerous small forts.
Now the insurgents have posse sion of all
the coast and this .side of tlie bay and all
the territory around Manila except to Hie
northwest, which is reputed to be very pro-
Spanlsh in its symp it liies.
For several day., tihe insurgents attack
ed the fort at. Malate, which is the last
fortified place outside of Manila, on the
bay south of tile city. They finally cap
tured it, and are now ready to advance
on the city as soon as Admiral Dewey
wishes to commence operations against it.
The Spaniards admit now chat the in
surgents alone could probably take the out
skirts and new part of Manila, but, of
ciiurse, without artillery’ could make no
I impression on the heavy walls of Hie city,
which could withstand a siege of months.
It will require tlie. heavy guns ( .f Hie Knite.i
Btat.-s’ fleet to breach it if the in'iniiiltants
do not surrender on tile demand of Ad
miiai Dewey.
Three small steamers flying the insurgent
flag arrived ye.- > r.lay, having on hoird
about four hundred wounded and captured
Spaniards. These were ill taken in a e.im
palgn round Batancfs bay, w i
distance south of Manila bay, and quite
a stronghold of the Spanish.

, St. Paul, Minn.. July 27.—With great cer-
■ emony, in the presence of an Immense con
course of people this afternoon. Don. Al-
1 exander Ramsay, territorial governor, only
survivor of lhe famous union war govern
ors, cx-st’cretary of .war and <x United
l States senator, laid the corner stone of
■ Minnesota’s new eanftol building in this
city This t wo-ml.lion-dollar bui.dlng Is
’ being constructed of granite from St. Cloud
with Georgia marble lor .superstructure
and trimmings.
Tho principal oration was delivered by
United States Senator Cushman K. Davis,
chairman of the senate committee on for
eign relations.
In tho course of his address he said:
“It was not until very recently that Great
Britain and the T'nib d States looked each
other in the face with any sign of recogni
tion. It. is well for them, for civilization,
fcr national Independence and for person
al freedom that they have begun to do so.
| The Isolation of England from the other
states- of Europe is manifest. Her isolation
from tlie United States has always exist
ed and principally as the result of petty
differences as to boundaries, fisheries, ster
ile treaties and small, conflicting policies
in other respects. The United States has
been isolated by a special policy and by
its geographical position.
We Can’t Be Indifferent.
“Tills coalcscense of nationalities has
been accomplished by a v :st territorial ac
., sltlon by the European states by which
tim continent ot Africa ha- been parti
tioned among them. The genera! direction
of this mov'-ment In Africa is toward tho
orient, it is not necessary to elaborate
upon the Interests of the United S’atc.d
in Hie present and prospective situation.
Tho maritime, commercial and political
genius of the Aiii'Tican peoplq will not
permit their government to be Indifferent
to them. It will not offer the United
St ites to lie made the China of the west.
The great question remains and compre
hends commercial and nil other subjects.
What action by tho United States do Its
peace and safety require to insure to it the
rightful and most advantageous results ot
these now international relations and ad
justments? The situation In the Chinese
orient Is pregnant with wars, and wars
In Qiese days of fleets built of steel and
driven by steam ore different from those
of the times of wooden walls and sails.
There is not an habitable spot on the
earth's surface too remote or secluded or
too strong to bo exempt from the attacks
of rapacious and unscrupotons naval an i
I military powers. AU of history is false,
or this is true; that such wars ar.- inevit
nblo. The arena has been enormously ex
tended. Tho recent aggressions by tho
powers of Europe upon China were acts
of war., ft s not long since the war be
tween Japan and Chinn ‘nib'd by depriving
the latter power of her fleet, amt forefu;'
her to pay an enormous indemnity and
provisionally to cede to Japan a portion
of her territory of th”> greatest military
and naval Importance, of which Japan was
in turn deprived by the duress of Russia
and Germany, only to see Russia substan
tially acquire the same territory and Ger
many make a compensatory seizure n -nrby.
Our Pacific Possessions Inviting.
| “Next to China tlie I’.ieitie possessions of
I the United Stalet art the most invit ■- ■
I jeets of attack. Under existing conditions
ttheir def.-nse would be tlilll.'iilt. Had Spain
triunijilu d at Manila as decisively as did
t'he Unite.l States her navy could have
e'.zed Honolulu and have op.iaie.l from
th.-re upon the entire coast of the Unit..l
: States, from Mexico to the Yukon. An
overpowering I urop.an force in th" Asi
i atic waters could .Io the same thing; so
■ could Japan.
“The situation is plainly one of alterna
' tives. Tllie United States must become an
efficient element in the Asiatic situation, or
, It must entirely abstain from anv p.trtiel
, pation in it, return to .ts own sh. m d
I cover the small, st possible sl.ai .. of 1 s
1 commercial advantages, and prepar. lor
