Show HIS MISSION r FRUSTfAT DIPLOMATS SO HEGABD XRU GEBS JOTJHOKTEY Action of German Emperor Settled the flatter Eeasdns Why Oom Paul WasNofc Welcomed Berlin Dee 3The Governments curt and decisive intimation that Emperor I Em-peror Yilllam would not be able toi receive re-ceive Mr Kruger has created a profound pro-found impression throughout Germany What may be called the antiBritish II I I section of the press does not conceal Its annoyance and the moderate anglophobe anglo-phobe organs with dim ul suppress the utterances of disappointment The inspired journals say that It was I Germanys desire to Intimate definitely i that Mr Krugers visit would not be welcome and therefore the fact that he I omitted to comply with the strict etiquette eti-quette of the German court and deferred I de-ferred asking Emperor William for an I audience until he had reached the I BclgoGerman frontier was eagerly I I seized as a reason for denying him I I such nn audience i 1 I WHY HE WAS NOT WELCOME The semiofficial Cologne Gazette puts i I the matter as follows The question as to whether Emperor William would welcome Mr Krugers visit must be answered an-swered with qualification In the nega tire The reason why such a visit Just Snow i S-now cannot be welcomed Is plain fm Mr Kruger Intends the requested audience audi-ence not only as a mere act of politeness polite-ness but as an occasion for receiving proofs of personal sympathy Furthermore Further-more he is prosecuting at the same time outspoken political aims and desires de-sires to induce the rulers of those states oJ which he visits to abandon the strict neutrality they have hitherto found reason to maintain In the war between Great Britain and the Transvaal The maintenance of strict neutrality however I how-ever accords with Germanys Interests and It would be n serious error er-ror If a mere suspicion was created that at Mr KruKers wish this neutrality should be no longer I maintained RECEPTION AT COLOGNE Mr Krugers reception at Cologne was exceedingly enthusiastic ns far as the citizens were concerned They had planned a torchlight procession and serenades but the police forbade them both His dispatches to Count von Bue low the Imperial Chancellor and to the heads of the German states were left unanswered There Is no doubt that a late a Saturday Sat-urday Foreign office officials contemplated contem-plated that Mr Kruger would be received ceived In Berlin tomorrow Emperor William and Count von Buelow must have reconsidered the original plan I I Is suggested that as Mr Krugers Intention In-tention to come to Berlin was mooted in France the Kaiser and his advisers may have suspected a trap I Herr von Tschlnshky German Minis ter at Luxembourg under Emperor I Williams Instructions personally thanked Mr Kruger for the telegram I to the Kaiser and Mr Kruger when thanking the envoy said I Invoke I Gods lesbslns upon that august personage per-sonage 1 Diplomats generally regard Mr Kru i gers mission as frustrated and It Is rumored Germanys action as of great I political Importance as denoting a new era In the relations between Germany I and Great Britain On the other hand the Goernments attitude Is certainly I condemned by a large portion of the lIon and there can be no question that n vast majority of the representative representa-tive Journals throughout the empire t remain re-main proKruger Yesterday even the court preacher Dr Krltlnger In the new cathedral delivered a discourse filled with sentiments strongly favoring the Boer cause PARIS HIT HARD Emperors Telegram Chief Subject of Comment in French Press Paris Dee Emperor Williams telegram to Mr Kruger refusing to receive re-ceive him continues to be the chief subject of comment In the French press The afternoon newspapers strike a note of sadness They say they see In his Majestys action the shattering of his reputation for chivalry The Temps and Journal des Debates explain Emperor Williams message by the AngloGerman understanding on African Afri-can questions The Temps says The Emperors i wording that he could not receive Mr Kruger on account of his position already I al-ready taken Is very clear Every one understands that the Emperor if not actually fulfilling one of the clauses of the recent AngloGerman accord is inspired In-spired by the spirit thereof In declining to receive Mr Kruger Neither the declarations of Count von Buelow or others have concealed from the eyes I of the world that the Emperor ha t veered his policy in favor of England since he sent his famous dispatch on the Jameson raid Mr Krugers advisers 01 ad-visers neither saw nor foresaw any I thing and they exposed Mr Kruger to 1 the total check he has just experienced I This perhaps Is not the first bad advice ad-vice they gave him which explains many things In the past 1 I Yves GUlot In the Slecle compares the attitude of Emperor William with that of France to the advantage of tile former He says Emperor William wished to show that his Government had not surrendered its power to the least enlightened classes and Intimated intimate to Mr Kruger that he was opposed to his coming to Berlin to be acclaimed I by bands led by Mr Lloyds accolme agitators I can affirm to a certainty that If Mr Kruger approaches the Czar diplomatically he will meet with an equally categorical refusal |
