But it is far more likely that the empress visited the Dowager Kaiserin in order that she should call the attention of her son to the harm which the association of the name of the baroness with his own was doing him in a political sense both at home and abroad.
The Spanish losses were two hundred killed and four hundred wounded. Captain-General Augusti took refuge on board the German ship Kaiserin Augusta, and was conveyed to Hongkong. The following official reports were made by cable: “MANILA, August 13, 1898. “Secretary of Navy, Washington:—Manila surrendered to-day to the American land and naval forces, after a combined attack.
"He may justly decline to treat with us; but it is your property, and you have a right to it." "You propose, then?" Phineas Duge asked. "That you should catch the Kaiserin to London to-morrow," Higgins said, "and find out this man Vine. The rest we are content to leave with you, but I think that if you try you will get it." Phineas Duge sat quite still for several moments.
"Now let us go through the facts of the case," said the consul, and the colonel wearily reproduced his original narrative with every possible circumstance. "But you know all about it," he concluded. "I don't see any end of it. I don't see but I'm to spend the rest of my life in hunting up a hotel that professes to be the Kaiserin Elisabeth, and isn't. I never knew anything like it."
Each time the Kaiser, with an angry gesture, waved the interrupter away. Despairing of the usual resources, the Kaiserin was sent with the same message.

But he reached the dock with scarcely a quarter of an hour to spare, and after a difficulty which was cleared away, found himself upon the deck of the Kaiserin Augusta, a somewhat flustered individual, with many loose ends dangling in retrospect, with no cabin as yet assigned to him, sober of face but inexpressibly happy.
