Berlin, November 28. An infernal machine bearing the Orleans postmark has been received by Count von Caprivi, the German Chancellor. Berlin, November 29. Emperor William received through the post a package similar to that sent to Count Caprivi. It contained an infernal machine, but a timely discovery of the nature of the contents prevented an explosion. The package like that received by Count Caprivi—bore the Orleans postmark. President Carnot, on learning that the packages had been posted in France, urged the authorities to use their utmost endeavors to capture the authors of the plots. It has been ascertained that if the infernal machines sent to th 6 Emperor and Count Caprivi had exploded, they would have caused a fearful havoc. The infernal machine posted to the Emperor was detained by the Imperial Guards. The President of the Reichstag returned thanks to God that the Emperor and Chancellor had escaped the machinations of their enemies.
