Tho semi-official stntemcnt that Mr. Kruger Is coming hero Is discussed cautiously. It Is regarded as premature to predict that Emperor William will receive him. Thero Is no appreciable sign of n public demonstration and some of tho pupcin warn tho public to beware of n policy of sentiment, pointing out that Oer many Is not In a position to change the fnto of tho Transvaal and doprcatlug mnnlfcs tatlnns which arc likely to clash with the government's policy. Tho agrarian organs express tho earnest hope that Emperor William will reader powerful assistance to Mr. Kruger. The liberal press, for tho grentcr part, con- nldcra thnt his coming will bo useless. The National Kcltung Bays: "Seeing that certain failure would nwalt him here, wo should regret the old gentle man's tiresome trip to Ilcrlln. which at best could only lead to demonstrations having no political vnluo for tho causo of tho UoerB." Thero Is no truth, tho correspondent of tho Associated Press Is luformed, In tho Ftntoment thnt a movement Is on foot for Intervention by Germany, Frauce and Rus sla. Regarding tho question whether Oor mrny, If nsked, would offer mediation, thero Is high otllclal authority for the assertion that Germany would bo compelled to refuse to mnko such an uffcr, unless also asked by Oreat L'rltaln. "If It be truo that Dr. Lcyds has notified Count von Duelow of Mr. Krugcr's condl tlonal Intention to come to Berlin," tald i well Informed ofllclnl today, "Dr. Leyds haB not Iioen left In doubt regarding Germany's attitude.
